By the morning of December 8, Mr. Than had passed the critical stage and was awake, but his health was weak and he could not speak yet.
It is known that Mr. Than was newly married and had no children. He had been working as a factory worker in the South for 2 months when the accident happened. Because he worked at a private facility and had no insurance, he had to pay high hospital bills, while his family's living conditions in the countryside were quite difficult.
