(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-09-03 20:26 The Premier chatted with doctors and nurses from eastern Zhejiang Province who were there helping to serve local residents.
On the morning after the earthquake, the country saw Wen standing on the rubble of the Xinjian primary school in Dujiangyan city, encouraging a trapped child through a crack. Wen returned to the school, which is in makeshift buildings, during this visit. More than 240 students in the school were killed in the quake. Standing in a classroom before the blackboard, he said to the students: "You are our country's future. I believe beautiful flowers will blossom over the debris of the earthquake." Children presented handmade cards to Wen and invited him to take photos with them. The Premier presented flowers and bowed three times under the national flag on the campus to mark the victims. Agriculture and industry were gradually recovering in the quake area. At Yongquan Village in Deyang City, people were harvesting rice and planting potatoes. Wen went into the field, asking farmers about their crop yield. Told there was a bumper rice harvest despite the quake, he urged local officials to resume production as soon as possible where conditions allow. At quake-devastated Dongfang Steam Turbine Co., Ltd. of Deyang, which Wen had visited twice previously, he was visibly happy to see production back at the pre-quake level. He urged employees to continue working to build the company into a more advanced, secure and sustainable organization. The premier also visited a road repair site near the epicenter, Yingxiu, praising the soldiers and workers who braved aftershocks and landslides to keep the road clear after the quake. |
