Impoverished Beijing Graduate Starves to Death in Xi’an, Highlighting Social Inequality and Job Struggles in China

A widely circulated article on Chinese social media disclosed the story of a woman born in a poor, rural area, who graduated from a prestigious university in Beijing. She was not able to find a job, however, and she repeatedly took the public sector tests in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and achieved the highest possible score several times. Nevertheless, she was not hired due to lacking social connections. She eventually went to Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, to seek employment. She rented an apartment but, due to a lack of money, she starved to death at the age of 33. Her body was discovered approximately 20 days after her death.
