Yuan Lihai, 49, from Lankao County in central China's Henan Province, became known recently for taking in homeless children and raising them on her meager income. Over the past 20 years, she has adopted more than 100 kids.
 

A fire broke out in Yuan's home while she took a number of her older children to school on the morning of January 4. Six kids aged from 7 months to 5 years and one 20-year-old man, died in the blaze. Investigations found that trouble occurred when children started playing with fire.

People say the local government is to blame for the tragedy.
