Wife of executed vendor turns to online shop for new life with son

The wife of a street vendor who was executed in 2013 for killing two chengguan, or urban patrol officers, in Shenyang, Liaoning province, has started a new life by moving to Beijing and opening an online store.

Zhang Jing, 41, became a shopkeeper on the Taobao e-commerce platform at the end of last year and sells specialty foods from Northeast China such as hazelnuts and edible tree fungus.

"I've got parents and my child to support, so I have to move on after the tragedy of my husband," she said.
