China Mourns Third Boston Victim

A Boston University graduate student.

Mourning is spreading across China as the third victim of Monday’s attacks in Boston was reported to be Lu Lingzi, a Chinese graduate student who was studying finance at Boston University and went to watch a friend run the Boston Marathon. Her university and the Chinese consulate in New York have not identified her at her family’s request, but a classmate, a university official, and a state-run Chinese newspaper released her name, sparking thousands of messages on Chinese websites and tens of thousands of replies to her account on Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter. Lingzi, from Shenyang in northeast China, had interned with several financial firms.
