South Korean bus driver rushes unconscious Chinese student to hospital, saves her life
Good Samaritan carries student to emergency unit on back, pays woman’s hospital bill, cries tears of joy when she recovers
A South Korean bus driver rushed an unconscious student from China to hospital and paid her medical bill because she reminded her of her two daughters.
The driver’s life-saving actions have moved people online in both countries.
It was recently reported by South Korean media outlets that a bus driver in Yongin city, in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, rescued a Chinese international student who fainted on her bus.
Lee Si-young, 54, immediately stopped her vehicle and went to check on the unidentified student.
Lee said the young woman went pale and developed a cold sweat. She also realised the stricken woman was a foreigner because she did not speak Korean. Soon the passenger fell unconsciousness.
The driver sought the permission of other passengers and drove the bus directly to a nearby hospital with an emergency treatment clinic.
