Three hospitalized students encourage one another before the three-day national college entrance examination at a hospital in quake-hit Chongqing Municipality July 2, 2008. The local educational authority has established a temporary exam room in the hospital specifically for them. Because of the May 12 earthquake, the national exam was postponed for almost a month and will begin in quake-hit areas from Thursday with more than 120,000 students taking the exam. [Xinhua]
