On 13 October 2025, a woman suddenly collapsed while visiting the Presidential Office in Taiwan. Upon seeing this, President Lai Ching-te, a physician, immediately diagnosed her and bent over to provide first aid, drawing widespread public praise.

Taiwanese Democratic Progressive Party legislator Chiu Yi-ying posted a video on Facebook, saying that she was accompanying members of the Lions Clubs International to visit the Presidential Office that morning. Before taking a group photo, a "Lion Club Sister" suddenly collapsed in front of President Lai. President Lai, a physician, immediately diagnosed her and bent over to assist. Fortunately, the "Lion Club Sister" woke up a few minutes later and is not seriously injured.

The video shows that after the woman collapsed, President Lai immediately knelt down to check on her and provided treatment, while a friend nearby repeatedly said, "It's okay, it's okay. The President is helping you."

According to netizens, Lai Ching-te graduated from the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at National Taiwan University, received a postgraduate degree in Medicine from National Cheng Kung University, and obtained a Master's degree from the Harvard School of Public Health. He is one of the few physicians in Taiwan with expertise in preventive medicine, clinical medicine, and rehabilitation medicine.

The video of President Lai Ching-te saving a life on the spot has drawn widespread praise from netizens on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, with some commenting, "Presidential-level first aid!" and "President Lai's personal treatment is so touching."

Some mainland netizens lamented the difference between an elected president and a Chinese Communist Party official, saying, "Such a thing would never happen to Xi Jinping. Every time Xi travels, he's surrounded by layers of security, leaving even the smallest civilian untouchable."
