After 58
hours of emergency medical attention, Zhang Lili, a teacher who nearly died
saving two students, has finally regained consciousness, the First Affiliated
Hospital of Harbin Medical University announced on May 15.
"But
it cannot be ruled out that her condition may worsen, and the doctors are still
working full out to save the heroic teacher," said Zhao Mingyan, ICU
director at the hospital, where Zhang is now receiving treatment.
Zhang Lili,
29, a Chinese language teacher at No 19 Middle School of Jiamusi, Northeast
China's Heilongjiang province, was run over by a school bus after pushing two
students out of the way on May 8.
After news
of her actions spread, people began to call her "the most beautiful
teacher in China".
Donations
to Zhang's family from schools, companies, society organizations and organs of
government have been pouring in.
Heilongjiang
Welfare Lottery Center sent 100,000 yuan ($15,850) to Zhang's family on May 14.
"Her
courage moved all of our staff, and we will try our best to help the brave
teacher in her future life. After her recovery, we hope she can be the
ambassador of the welfare lottery," said Wang Jianwei, the director of
center.
A woman
told CCTV that Zhang donated 100 yuan each month to her son from her meagre
salary.
The
provincial Women's Federation on Monday honored Zhang with the title
"Excellent Female Worker".
The
Ministry of Education has also named her "National Outstanding
Teacher" and called on the country's educators to learn from her.
