Duguimaa, herdswoman, born April 1942

Duguimaa became mother at the age of 19 when she adopted 28 orphans from Shanghai in the early 60s, when southern China suffered a period of natural disasters. To foster the orphans, she taught herself to become an obstetrician and helped scores of young mothers deliver babies at a time when there was little medical equipment available. She has received honors from the regional women's federation and the publicity department for her devotion.
