MH370: Little comfort in compensation for grieving Chinese families

PETALING JAYA: Though Chinese tradition dictates a 100-day mourning period for the deceased, many families of the 153 Chinese nationals on board the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 are unable to cope with their loss.

Hu Xuifang's son and daughter-in-law were on the plane, along with their toddler and their eight-month-old baby. "The five of us lived together," she said. "Now it's just me, in the empty house."
