A Chinese woman who delayed seeing a doctor for a work injury to avoid losing a $95 bonus for good attendance died of a brain hemorrhage, local media reported.

Du Juan, 23, an assembly line worker, had suffered serious injuries when she hit her head on a bathroom door at her Belton Co. workplace in Shenzhen in southern China's Guangdong Province, Nanfang Daily reported.

China Daily reported the Nanfang publication said Du kept working for three more days without medical attention so she wouldn't lose the bonus for a full year's good work attendance despite suffering intense pain and losing her hearing.

"She was in a very bad state the next day and kept holding her head the following two days. Her hearing worsened and [she] couldn't hear her sister talk," said Hu Li, who had worked with Du.

Du was diagnosed with a cerebral hemorrhage and died a week later.

Du, employed since graduating from high school, had worked an average of 11 hours a day for minimum wage. (UPI)

'보너스 10만원 받으려다..' 뇌출혈로 사망

중국인 근로자가 근속 보너스를 받기 위해 근무 중 발생한 상해를 제때에 치료받지 않아 뇌출혈로 사망했다고 중국 현지 언론이 전했다.

광동에 위치한 회사 벨톤(Belton Co.)의 조립공정에서 일하는 두 주안(23)은 화장실에서 머리를 부딪히는 심각한 상해를 입었다.

두는 일년 근속으로 받을 수 있는 보너스 95달러(약 10만6500원)를 놓칠까 상해를 입은 뒤 심각한 통증과 청력을 잃었음에도 불구하고 치료를 받지 않은 채 3일간 더 일을 하러 나온 것으로 알려졌다.

두와 함께 일한 동료 후 리는 “사고 다음날 두는 굉장히 안 좋은 상태였다. 머리를 부여잡고 이틀 동안 또 일을 했다. 그녀의 청력은 악화되어 동생이 말하는 것 조차 들을 수 없었다.”고 말했다.

두는 뇌출혈 진단을 받은 일주일 후 사망하였으며 최소임금을 받기 위해 하루 평균 11시간을 일한 것으로 알려졌다.
