Zuo Kaihua makes her living memorializing the dead.
Since the 40-year-old Tibetan farmer's house was destroyed by the 8.0-magnitude Wenchuan earthquake and her land - located at the edge of what became a mass grave - was used for a museum site, she has been selling quake souvenirs at the gate of the cemetery in Sichuan province's Yingxiu township.
"We need money to live, so we set up this stall," she says.
