Street peddler, 92, turns chengguan surprisingly soft
(China Daily)
Updated: 2009-08-31 10:37 Hubei province's chengguan, or urban management officers, developed a rare soft corner for a 90-year-old street peddler, trying to support her paralyzed daughter. Every morning, Li spreads out a sheet on the pavement of Wuchang's Yanzi road, selling various kinds of scissors and nail clippers. All the illegal peddlers have been driven away from this busy street. But Li sits there without a care for the law. And the chengguan doesn't have the heart to snatch away her livelihood. Li, a widow, comes from a remote village in Huanggang and gets no pension. Her 72-year-old daughter is completely paralyzed. Zhou Shurong, director of the city's chengguan department, said it would be a "moral crime" to remove her from the street. (Wuhan Evening News) |
