Two students who saved lives of strangers from a knife-wielding attacker have been offered admission by the University of Macau, according to Xinhuanet.com on Friday.

Liu Yanbing and Yi Zhengyong, who took the college entrance examination earlier this month, have already received the offer of admission by the university which took the unusual step after weighing their interests and academic level.

The university has also promised them grant, including tuition fees and living expenses, to the tune of 3,000 MOP (Macau Pataca) per month for 10 months annually, and 3,000 MOP for books.

But it looks like the gesture will go in vain as Liu's father has said he appreciates the offer from the university but does not want his son to go to Macau to study, said Jiangxi Daily.
