Family brought together by love
Lu Limei, 10, walks with her foster grandmother, Shi Xiangqiu, 81, in Yuefeng village in Dongyang, Zhejiang province on May 28, 2012. Ten years ago, Shi's son found Limei crying by the road and brought her home. Although the family could barely make ends meet, they took her in. After the foster father and mother died of illness in 2009 and 2010, it has been just Limei and her grandmother, who made a living by making grass ropes and earning 3 yuan ($0.4) a day. In March, their story was reported in the local media and reached many people. Now, thanks to their donations, the small family has a rebuilt home and Limei can finish school. [Photo/Xinhua]
