    CHINA-YUNNAN-JINPING-REVISIT TO KUCONG PEOPLE'S PRIMITIVE LIFE (CN)

    (230726) -- JINPING, July 26, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Zhang Puzhong (1st L), his wife Wang Suying (1st R) and their grandchildren pose for a photo under a banana leaf shed in the forest near Xiaxinzhai Village, Zhemi Township, Jinping County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province, July 23, 2023. After days of thinking, Zhang Puzhong decided to do something instructive to his grandchildren: bring them back to the forest he used to live as a child more than 60 years ago. "This is very important. I know how happy I am today because I never forget how bitter my life was in the past," Zhang said. Zhang is a 70-year-old Kucong resident in Xiaxinzhai Village, Zhemi Township of Jinping County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province. Kucong ethnic people means "people living on the mountains," an offshoot of the Lahu ethnic group. Yunnan now boasts 30,000 Kucong people, mainly living in the Ailao Mountain area in Zhenyuan and Jinping counties.

                      Victim's spouse asks gov't to set up life term without parole

                      TOKYO, Japan - Alberto Stucki (R), whose wife and daughter were killed in Miyazaki in 2004, hands a petition with 80,000 signatures to Justice Minister Kunio Hatoyama at the Justice Ministry on Nov. 2, asking the government to set up a sentence of life imprisonment without parole. Stucki, 51, a resident of Kyoto with dual Italian and Swiss nationalities, has been taking issue with the Japanese penal system in which most inmates sentenced to life in prison are later released on parole. Stucki's wife and daughter were burned to death in May 2004 after a burglar broke into their home, stole 550,000 yen and set the house ablaze. The burglar is serving a term of life in prison. (Kyodo)
