'I have achieved my mission in life': Chinese woman's 17-year search for husband's killers ends as police nab final suspect
Yet Li Guiying, who is in her 60s, says news bittersweet as neighbours in home village in Henan province had refused to talk to police after stabbing in 1998 and help to catch culprits earlier
A Chinese woman who spent 17 years travelling the country in search of five people who killed her husband has finally ended her hunt after police caught the last suspect.
Yet Li Guiying, who is in her 60s, and had her one-woman crusade widely reported by mainland media in November, said on Friday the news was bittersweet.
“The news is a mixed blessing,” Li told The Beijing News, which last month reported that she had successfully tracked down four of the culprits who had stabbed and bludgeoned to death her husband, Qi Yuande.
“I am glad that the police have finally caught the last suspect and I have achieved my mission in life.
“But I am also sad because I have spent the past 17 years looking for my enemies, and yet it took less than 17 days for them to catch the last one after the media reports about my quest.
