100 years of fortitude and love for quake victims

Lin Aju is visually impaired and will turn 100 next month. So her family and friends must be preparing to celebrate her birthday.

They were. But Grandma Lin told them to cancel the family banquet, and instead donated 10,000 yuan ($1,429) to the quake victims in Sichuan.

Lin is a resident of Xiepu town in Ningbo, Zhejiang province. And her family members had planned to organize a party that would have cost 7,000 yuan to celebrate her 100th birthday.
