Education authorities in Jiangxi province will organize a separate college entrance exam for two high school students who were injured while stopping a knife attack on a bus.

The students were unable to take the national college entrance exam, which started on Saturday, because they are still recovering from their injuries.

Liu Yanbing and Yi Zhengyong, both students at Yichun No 3 Middle School in Yichun, Jiangxi province, were injured on May 31 while trying to stop a man who was hacking passengers with a knife on a bus, Xinhua reported.
