A ‪Canadian‬ ‪‎tourist‬, who accidentally knocked over and killed an old Chinese woman on the ‪Great Wall‬ earlier this month, has agreed to pay 600,000 yuan, or $96,504, in compensation.













The 38-year-old Canadian woman, identified only as Fortin, was coming down the stairs when she knocked over a Chinese woman on April 8th. The 73-year-old Ms. Cui, a tourist from northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, fell on the ground and later died from her injuries.





An investigation by Beijing authorities deemed the fatal incident an accident, but this didn't please the families and relatives of Ms. Cui. Outraged family members went to the hotel where Fortin was staying and tried to prevent her from leaving China.













Fortin agreed to pay Cui’s family 600,000 yuan ($96,504) in compensation during court mediation last week, after Cui’s family filed a civil action lawsuit in a Beijing court.













Ms. Cui’s eldest son said on Monday his relatives and his mother’s friends have held a cremation ceremony in the capital, and he will bring his mother’s ashes back to Heilongjiang and bury her in their hometown. Mr. Sun said he and his family are still waiting for their compensation.
