The journey of striving to rise and the regretful departure of a young female civil servant

After that, Li continued to pass the competitive graduate exam to China Agricultural University in Beijing, receiving a master's degree in Resource Utilization and Plant Protection a few months ago.

To win a position in the customs industry, Ly participated in the fierce civil servant recruitment exam and ranked first among 2,000 candidates.

In a post on social networks to introduce new personnel, Cat Long border gate customs said Ly Loi Duong described himself as "a hard-working, brave person who always maintains emotional stability". She enjoys growing flowers, reading books and playing with dogs and cats.

"As a young customs officer, I will seriously carry out my assigned duties as a plant quarantine officer. Love for this land will be the motivation for me to do my best to guard the biosafety shield at the border," Ly wrote in his self-introduction.

Ly's younger sister said she had promised to take her parents on a trip to Beijing during Lunar New Year next year. "My parents and I are waiting for you at home. Getting into the government is not easy. Who would have thought that your first salary would also be your death benefit?", the younger sister wrote on social networks.

Millions of Chinese internet users expressed shock and pain when they learned that she had gone through a difficult journey to get a job, just days before disaster struck.

"Her whole life revolves around exams. The joy of life only lasts a few days. Life can be so bitter," one person wrote.

"Fate is so cruel to her. I really feel sorry for this girl. May she rest in peace," another person expressed.
