H1N1-flu mom dies after delivering triplets
This January 1, 2010 photo shows the triplet baby girls of late mother Yang Cuicui. Yang 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]
