Journalist Li Xue, 30, had been planning a relaxing honeymoon1 under the Sabah sun away from the pressures of work for the last two months. Instead, she made headlines in China on Thursday after reporting an armed raid and kidnapping.

30岁的新闻工作者李雪早已计划好远离两个月的工作压力，在沙巴州的阳光下度过一个轻松愉快的蜜月。然而，在报道了一场持械抢劫和绑架案后，她在4月3日上了中国报纸的头版头条。
 
"I was not scared because the police arrived very quickly," said Li, an editor from Western China Metropolis2 Daily in Chengdu, Sichuan province, who was staying at a resort in the easternmost Malaysian state. "I felt angry at the kidnappers3 and what they had done. And I was disappointed that my honeymoon was ruined."
 
Li was the first Chinese witness to report the incident in which six gunmen stormed the resort and abducted4 two women - a 29-year-old Chinese tourist and a 40-year-old hotel worker from the Philippines. The gunmen escaped in a speedboat.
 
Li said she was about to go to bed when she heard women screaming and the sounds of people scattering5 in panic.
 
A few moments later, Li, whose room was only a few meters away from the abduction, heard a speedboat engine rev6 up（加快转速） and then fade into the night. With her husband and two friends, Li had arrived four days earlier on her first visit to Malaysia.
 
About 10 minutes after the incident, she said, the hotel asked about 60 guests, including senior citizens and children, to gather in the canteen, where the abduction was explained.
 
When they learned that the resort had been raided and armed men may still be in the vicinity（在附近）, the guests lay on the floor, Li said.
 
Hotel workers later helped Li and the guests get to safe places in the nearby town or at the airport.
 
Almost all the guests left or planned to leave ahead of schedule, but Li said she would stay in Malaysia as planned until April 7.
 
On Thursday, when she should have been enjoying her honeymoon, she was filing news reports and giving interviews to many Chinese news organizations.
 
"Maybe I will not visit Malaysia anymore, at least not Sabah," she said. "It's too close to the Philippines."
 
Sabah is a popular destination for Chinese tourists, but it faces persistent7 security problems because of its proximity8 to the restive9 southern Philippines.
 
Insurgents10 occupying nearby islands have carried out similar kidnappings of tourists in the region before, seeking ransom11.
