Girl jumps to death over job refusal
( 2003-08-14 10:47) (China Daily)
A 20-year-old girl who never got over her failure to be recruited as an air
hostess two years ago jumped to her death from her home in Shenyang on Tuesday,
reports Huashang Morning Post.
The formerly outgoing Xiaofan, who proudly stood 1.70 metres tall, took the
test to become a stewardess in 2001 fully confident of her abilities, but
recruiters ultimately did not choose her.
Something went wrong with the girl after that, a neighbour confided. She
often sat astride the window ledge, frightening her family who called police
many times to coax her back into the flat.
In previous instances, the girl always said she was kidding and promised she
would not jump.
But this time she did, in front of two adult family members at home, said her
grieving mother.
