More than 10 universities have shown an interest in the two students who missed the national college entrance exams after being severely injured while trying to stop a knife-wielding man on a bus a week before the exams.

Liu Yanbing and Yi Zhengyong, both students at Yichun No 3 Middle School in Jiangxi province, have received admittance offers from more than 10 Chinese universities, including Tsinghua University in Beijing.
