After scrambling 15 km for more than 20 hours, Wang Yong, a worker in the town of Qingping, Mianzhu, finally ran into a disaster relief team.
"We are in urgent need of food, water and medicine," he told them.
With all roads blocked and telecommunications down, the city of Mianzhu remains cut off from the outside world.
