Now the news continues.
A Chinese driver with epilepsy has been sentenced to life in prison for concealing his illness and causing a fatal accident that killed four people.
The 45-year-old driver, surnamed Zuo, suffered an epileptic seizure when driving a car in downtown area in Yichang City in central China's Hubei Province on May 1 last year. Without any premonition, the car suddenly veered to the opposite lane and ran into pedestrians under a bridge. The accident claimed four lives and injured eight others.
Zuo was charged with endangering public safety by using dangerous means, instead of committing traffic offence. He was the first person in the city to receive life imprisonment for a traffic accident.
Zuo was diagnosed to have epilepsy in 2012, but he failed to report to the traffic administration.
According to Chinese law, those with epilepsy, vertigo, hysteria, mental disorder and Alzheimer's are banned from getting driver's license. Those who deliberately conceal their illnesses will be punished if causing traffic accidents.
Zuo has lodged an appeal.

Traces of giant panda have been found in a nature reserve in southwest China's Sichuan Province, suggesting the animal has ventured further than previously known.
Local forestry authorities say giant panda wastes have been found in bamboo woods 3,100 meters above sea level in a nature reserve in Lixian County. Evidence of foraging was later discovered 30 meters away from the droppings.
A 2013 national survey found no evidence of panda activity in the area. The new discovery shows that giant pandas live in a wider area than previously known.
Cameras have since been installed in the area, and patrol and monitoring has been stepped up.
The area is adjacent to the Wolong National Nature Reserve, known as the "home of the giant panda".
Giant pandas are one of the world's most endangered species. Around 1,600 pandas live in the wild, mostly in the mountains of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces in western China, while more than 300 live in captivity.

一名患有癫痫的中国司机瞒病开车发生车祸，造成4人死亡，这名司机因此被判处无期徒刑。
去年5月1日，45岁的司机左某在中国中部湖北省宜昌市中心驾车时癫痫发作。在没有任何预兆的情况下，左某驾驶的车辆突然逆向穿向对向车道，撞向桥下的行人。这起事故造成4人死亡，8人受伤。
左某以危险方法危害公共安全罪被起诉，而不是交通肇事罪。他是宜昌市首位因交通事故被判无期徒刑的人。
左某于2012年被诊断患有癫痫病，但他没有向交通管理部门报告相关情况。
依据中国法律，有癫痫病、眩晕症、癔病、精神病、痴呆等疾病的，不允许申领驾驶证。故意隐瞒病情病史，一旦引发交通事故将承担相应法律责任。
目前，左某已提起上诉。

中国西南部四川省一自然保护区发现大熊猫活动活动痕迹，证明大熊猫活动区域进一步扩大。
当地林业部门表示，在四川理县一自然保护区海拔3100米的竹林中发现了大熊猫粪便。随后，在离粪便约30米处发现了大熊猫食迹。
2013年的全国调查并未在该区域发现大熊猫活动痕迹。新发现证明，大熊猫活动区域进一步扩大。
工作人员已在该地区设置了相机，并加强了该地区的巡护监测力度。
该区域邻近被誉为“熊猫之乡”的卧龙自然保护区。
大熊猫是世界上的濒危物种之一。目前野生大熊猫约有1600只，大部分分布在中国西部四川省和陕西省的山区，而人工圈养大熊猫已超过300只。
