Tragedy shows loneliness of students

Zhu Haiyang, a PhD candidate at America's Virginia Tech, who beheaded his Beijing friend Xin Yang last year, was sentenced to life in jail on Tuesday. To everybody's surprise, his motivation was simply that: "I loved her too much, but she refused my love."

It was reported that Zhu had made the announcement when he learned Yang was engaged to someone. He felt forced to kill her because he loved her and his background and education was far superior to her fianc's.

This is just one example of the rejection and desperation many Chinese men feel when they want to start a relationship at an American university.
