Heroic students gain university places
Student heroes Liu Yanbing and Zheng Yiyong have been admitted by Nanchang University and Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics respectively, according to Beijing News.
Both universities have agreed to waive tuition fees and living expenses. The universities were chosen after discussions between the Jiangxi Recruitment Office, the candidates and their parents, taking into account their preferences and final marks.
The pair were seriously injured while protecting other passengers on a bus from a knife-wielding assailant and unable to attend the college entrance examination last month.
