A candlelight vigil was held on January 14 for a student from the University of Chicago who was killed in a fatal shooting spree over the weekend. University provost Ka Yee C. Lee said during the vigil that Fan Yiran was an exceptional student, a talented scholar, a patient teacher and a caring friend, reflecting the best and brightest of their academic community.

CGTN interviewed four professors from the university who had mentored him. They recounted the time they spent with Fan and how they're mourning him. Check out the story here:
