18-year-old who dreamed of becoming a doctor so she could help fellow villagers killed while collecting deliveries
The death of an 18-year-old girl in China who was accepted by a medical school in July only to be killed in a road accident days later has sparked a wave of sympathy online.
Du Binyang, from a rural family in Yanyuan county, Sichuan province, southwestern China, was admitted to the rehabilitation major at North Sichuan Medical College at the end of July.
Just weeks earlier she had taken the gruelling national university entrance examination, known as “gaokao”, Red Star News reported.
However, she died in a road accident several days later on her way to fetch delivery goods, the local authorities confirmed.
