H1N1-flu mom dies after delivering triplets
Tao Huajiang talks on phone with a donator at Magezhuang village in Pingdu city, east China's Shandong province January 6, 2010. Yang Cuicui, Tao's wife, was diagnosed of A(H1N1) flu and then decided to take a risk to give birth ahead of schedule Dec. 23. The mother stayed at ICU afterwards and didn't even get a chance to have a look at her babies before succumbing to the flu on Dec. 29. The bereft and debt-ridden family received widespread media attention and public supports, with donations running up to 140,000 yuan (US$19,800) so far. [Photo/Xinhua]
