A grocery shop owner has kept her lights on all night, continually for 13 years, to help people make their way home when it is dark.

Sun Meihua, 60, opened the shop in the old town of Changsha in central China’s Hunan province in 2012.
During the first month of her new business, some young women told her that the light in front of her shop made them feel secure when they finished work late.
Since then, Sun has never turned off the light at night.
She also adjusted the opening hours to close at 2am for those in need, and sometimes walked timid girls home.

Some people have nicknamed Sun “street light auntie”.
