Relative hopes to turn ticket sales into charity for victims

SHANGHAI - A man who lost five family members, including his wife and unborn child, in last month's deadly high-speed train crash hopes to raise money for charity by selling tickets for the train.

Yang Feng declared on his micro blog recently that the profits earned by selling tickets between Shaoxing and Wenzhou in Zhejiang province would be used "to set up the 7.23 foundation to help other relatives of the victims in the accident."

Yang's family members were traveling between the two cities on July 23 when one high-speed train crashed into the rear of another train stalled on the tracks.
