Still alive.

As of January 10, 2022, China’s spicy king is still alive. Li Yongzhi, male, is from Zhengzhou and Shawoli Village, Longhu Town, Xinzheng City, Henan Province. He is known as the "Chinese Spicy King".

Now, years of eating spicy food without restraint have already caused serious damage to Li Yongzhi’s body. After suffering from several illnesses, Li Yongzhi began to reduce his intake of chili peppers, and his health began to gradually improve.

However, the damage to the body is irreversible. Now his intestines and stomach are very fragile and can only continue to nurse.
