Bus Driver Saves Dankook University International Student Who Collapsed from Hypotensive Shock

From Transport to Covering Medical Expenses

The story of a village bus driver in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, who saved a Dankook University international student suffering from hypotensive shock, has come to light belatedly.

According to Dankook University on the 10th, Lee Siyoung (54), a driver affiliated with Hanbi Transportation, witnessed international student A lose consciousness and collapse around 3 p.m. on the 21st of last month near Bojeong-dong, Suji-gu.

While one passenger secured A's airway, Lee Siyoung stopped the bus in front of a neighborhood clinic, carried her on his back, and ran to the hospital.

A arrived at the hospital within three minutes of collapsing and regained consciousness about three hours later. It is reported that Lee Siyoung paid her medical expenses on her behalf.

To express her gratitude, A presented Lee Siyoung with a honggeumgi, a red silk banner with a gold border. In China, it is customary to give this banner to someone who has saved your life or done you a great favor.

Lee Siyoung stated, "When A collapsed, she reminded me of my own daughter, so I ran without hesitation with a mother's heart," adding, "I simply did what was natural to ensure the students' safe commute to and from school."
