Grieving survivors search for solace in shelters

MIANYANG, Sichuan: As he walks alone with a bandaged head and arm outside Nanhe Stadium, a temporary center for quake survivors, Wang Qingzhou appears fairly relaxed.

He looks like a different man from the one who managed to get out of Beichuan two days ago, his native county where most of the buildings collapsed and many people were killed in Monday's disaster.

Wang managed to pull himself out of a collapsed four-story building, in which he lived on the top floor, and where his younger sister remained buried.
