[cri] | The book 'Ten Thousand Letters,' about the
HIV/AIDS situation in China's countryside, has won the First Chinese
Publications and Media Awards for the best book in 2004.
The author, Gao Yaojie, an 80-year-old retired female physician, has
been dedicated to the prevention of AIDS and helping AIDS infected orphans.
A researcher from China's Social Science Academy said the book is significant
because it shows a retired doctor's sense of responsibility toward those
tortured by the incurable disease.
The categories for the award include history, biography, arts and the
economy.
