Village mourns heroic granny

ZHENGZHOU - Friends and neighbors paid tribute to a heroic granny who died saving three children from drowning.

Chai Xiaonu, 69, who died on Aug 12 along with another young girl, dived into the Tuanhe River twice to haul out three youngsters but drowned as she attempted to rescue a fourth child.

"If she hadn't been there, we would definitely be gone," said 12-year-old Pang Zhanying, one of the children saved.
