Disabled hero getshis reward at last

A special annual pension of 8,490 yuan ($1,200) has been granted to a man in Shandong province for his heroic deed, the local civil affairs bureau said.

Qiu Wencai received severe injuries while trying to fight off two men who were robbing a neighbor six years ago in Xiangfan, Hubei province.

The injuries led to paralysis, forcing him to take to the streets last month to beg for a living.
