CHENGDU: Zhang Kaifu, the oldest survivor in Beichuan county, has no memory of his grandson digging him out of the rubble with his bare hands, and troops carrying him over a mountain to hospital.
Zhang, 95, is now being looked after by doctors and nurses at No 13 People's Hospital in Chengdu. He suffered a fractured leg.
His 59-year-old grandson, Zhang Guiqing, has repeatedly apologized to hospital staff for his grandfather's behavior. He also suffers from Alzheimer's disease and has been giving the staff a difficult time.
