Teenagers stopping stabbing spree 夺刀少年 (duo dao shao nian)

Two high school students in Yichun city of Jiangxi province fought a gang that attacked passengers with daggers on a bus on May 31. Though they saved the passengers from harm, the serious injuries they sustained prevented them from taking the college entrance examination, or gaokao, this year.

The Ministry of Education, recognizing their deed, has announced that it will make special arrangements for the two students to take the gaokao after they recuperate. This seems like a good solution to their predicament, which acknowledges their bravery and sets a good example of social fairness.
