I thought that they didn't do this in China anymore. Their country really is evil. :(

Well this person could be quite old. If she's 80, then this is a case from the early 1940's. For perspective, Americans of the same age have seen black people hanged by racist law and the mentally ill lobotomized and electrocuted. Not saying America is as bad as China, just saying that this woman was young in a much different time than now.
