Task begins to ease troubled minds

CHENGDU: Ke Xiaoyan arrived in Chengdu on Saturday from Nanjing. She said she feared she may have arrived too late.

As one of three psychologists sent by the Ministry of Health to treat children at Chengdu Children's Hospital, Ke said she should have gone to the hospital right after last Monday's quake.

"Many children are suffering more serious mental problems than I expected," Ke said.
