Sister wages 8-year battle saving brother from death

Love made her determined to clear his name and bring him home to share family life again

Spring Festival for Nian Jianlan was a bittersweet experience. It was the first Chinese New Year she had celebrated with her younger brother in eight years, since his release from prison.

"I'm grateful to the judicial process for giving innocence back to my family member as well as reuniting him with me," said the 40-year-old.
