Chinese visitors witness horror

Zhang Lingfei and her friend, another Chinese student, had talked in happy, excited tones about their upcoming adventure before their arrival in Paris on Friday afternoon,

But on the very evening of their arrival, the two women who study in Britain had dinner in an eatery close to the Cambodian restaurant that came under attack by terrorists. They were not alone among Chinese visitors who came too close for comfort to the carnage.

"When one of the staff at the restaurant told us that there was a shooting in the nearby restaurant, we were not very scared at first," Zhang, in her 20s, told China Daily.
