Former legal official remembered for his devotion to Tibetan community

Every day, 81-year-old Phuntsog Tashi lights a lamp made from butter and chants Buddhist scripture.

"I pray for Su Zhibin, who was a good man, and hope the lamp will light his way to heaven," said the resident of Zhonggu village, Jiulong county, in Ganzi Tibetan autonomous prefecture, Sichuan province.

Su, former chief procurator of the county procuratorate, died of a stroke aged 50 in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan, on Sept 2. Doctors said the cerebral hemorrhage was induced by stress and overwork.
