Elderly Chinese Cling to Ruins - washingtonpost.com: "Despite his efforts, Chen's 73-year-old mother-in-law still did not want to leave. 'I'm too old! I'm afraid I won't make it,' she pleaded, standing near a wooden crate covered with a strip of cardboard where she had collected whatever she could salvage from her ravaged home: a few articles of clothing, some tissue paper, an umbrella, a scythe.
'She wants us to leave enough food and drink and then come back every two months to check on her,' said her son, Ye Ning Gui, 40. 'She hasn't left these mountains in 10 years.'"
