Eunice Brock holds her award after winning the title as one of the "10 People Who Moved Shandong Province in 2006" at a ceremony in Jinan on Thursday.
Born in China, American Eunice Brock spent her early days in China where her parents worked as Christian missionaries. She left in 1930 but, after her husband passed away, returned to Shandong in 1999. At the age of 90, she received the honor for donating more than 300,000 yuan (US$38,462) to buy computers for schools, build roads and plant trees in her adopted permanent home of Liaocheng City.
