Now the news continues.
A long nightmare is finally over for a 59-year-old woman who spent the past 17 years hunting down the villagers who killed her husband during a surprise attack.
Li Guiying from north China's Henan Province says she went to her husband's tomb, telling him that all the suspects have been caught.
Li's saga dates back to January 1998. Five of her fellow-villagers attacked her on her way home, out of suspicion that she had turned them in for violating the birth-control policy. Li was stabbed in the stomach and began bleeding.
Li's husband Qi Yuande rushed out to her rescue. During the fight, he was stabbed by a stagger and died later in the day.
When the police made no progress in catching the killers who fled the village, Li was determined to pursue them herself.
In the past 17 years, Li traveled in a dozen provinces and autonomous regions, reaching as far as Yunnan Province in southwest China and Xinjiang in the northwest to pursue the suspects. With help of police, all the five suspects have been caught one after another, with the last one being captured in December.
Li has had a grandson, a toddler who is 18 months old. She says she is finally been able to focus on her family now.

Movie industry observers expect that China will overtake the United States to become the world's largest film market by 2017.
Last year, box office revenue in China hit a record high of almost 7 billion U.S. dollars.
Greg Foster, CEO of IMAX Entertainment, says to some extent, the Chinese market is the key to success for many US movies.
Foster says when a green light committee at a studio is deciding to spend 200 million U.S. dollars to make a movie, whether it gets into China or not is often the difference between success and failure.
Because of this, many in the North American movie market are taking a harder look at what needs to be done to become successful in China.
Lauren Selig, founder of Shake and Bake Productions, says an increasing number of movies are being made specifically for the Chinese market.
Selig says six out of 10 conversations that he made with producers or foreign sales agents in the last two weeks involve him asking for a project for China.
When it comes to tapping into the Chinese market, Selig says Hollywood needs to have a better understanding of what Chinese audiences want.
