Fortunately, the three suspects were caught by police in South China on October 3.
Sui posted on Sina Weibo--a Chinese microblogging website--after the incident.
According to the police in the city of Zhuzhou, the thieves didn't think the medals were valuable, and the police were able to recover them. Deputy captain Li Shengwen of Zhuzhou's Hetang district said,
After a frightening experience, it is surely a big relief for Sui to have all the medals back in her hands.

Thieves visited my home…but most importantly is that they took the medals I won over the years.
