Yuan Lihai, a woman from Lankao County, Henan Province, breaks down in tears as she finds out all the children had been taken away. She said it felt as if "you took away my heart." Yuan has been raising homeless children, orphans and abandoned babies with birth defects, at her own expense for 20-odd years. A fire broke out in Yuan's two-story home while she was taking some of the older children to school, claiming seven lives -- six young children and one 20-year-old died.
