Model's death puts light on overwork

FUZHOU - The obituary notice of Ai Weiwei, an online model in East China's Fujian province, has been widely circulated in cyber space, generating sorrow at the loss of a young life and retraining the spotlight on health concerns of young workers.

The young woman, just 22 years old when she died on May 14, was a popular online model and the deputy managing director of a local media company. She gained fame as a "football baby" in the online promotional campaign for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and as an icon of an online game.

But Ai was described as a workaholic who gave little attention to her health.
