Woman, 72, keeps hiking trails tidy

Zhang Xiu'e, 72, has a mission to keep hiking trails clean from litter. She has collected trash almost every day, since 2003, on Zijin Mountain in Nanjing, Jiangsu province. If weather conditions permit, she puts on her walking shoes and picks up rubbish from the hiking trails. Even last year, when she had a stomach ulcer, she set out to collect the rubbish so hikers could better appreciate the scenery.
