BEIJING: Granny Nyima, a 79-year-old woman from North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, was honoured with the title of "Model Individual for National Ethnic Unity and Progress" on Friday (Sept 27) for her efforts to safeguard the border, Capital News reported.
Living in a village just 11 kilometers from the China-Mongolia border, Granny Nyima has dedicated more than half a century to border patrol, with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson following in her footsteps.
