Wang Min showed only a slight sigh of relief upon hearing that Zhou Kehua, the man who shot her husband in the neck earlier this month, had himself been shot dead by police.

She then sighed even heavier, as the uncertain future of her family loomed over her.

Wang is the wife of Liao Deying, who was shot by Zhou Kehua, China's most wanted robber and killer, outside a bank in the Chongqing's Shapingba district.
