Angry about his low grades, a 21-year-old male student from the Beijing University of Technology stabbed a female instructor in her office and then tried to commit suicide.

After he received a notice to leave the university, Li's father blamed him for the poor grades and he became depressed. He tried to kill the first female teacher he came across in the department, and then jumped down on an over-bridge to kill himself.

The teacher is expected to recover and he failed to kill himself. The case remains under investigation.
