High school classmate Xue Minyuan said, "We got together during holidays. It's unbelievable that such a vivid life is gone all of a sudden."

Zhao was born in a village in Jiangsu Province and was the only child of the family. Her parents worked hard to support Zhao to further education in Wuhan University, one of the nation's top universities.

The accident has shaken the whole family.

 

Zhao Xiaoting's grandmother said, "She was very kindhearted and was always good at her lessons. Her teachers all liked her very much."

Zhao's high school teacher Zhou Xuelian said, "She was a cheerful girl, always smiling to others. I hope she will be as happy in heaven."

At Wuhan University, students and teachers held a funeral to commemorate Zhao Xiaoting. The school nominated her as one of the outstanding volunteers from Wuhan University.
