New mom waiting for husband, a relief volunteer

CHENGDU: Zhu Zhongbi has been a mother for a week but is still waiting for her husband to name their daughter.

"I have not seen him since the afternoon of May 18 when I went into labor in our village, Jianjiang, in Beichuan.

"As local hospitals were destroyed in the earthquake, a military helicopter brought me here that afternoon," the ethnic Tibetan told China Daily yesterday in the maternity ward of the Chengdu Military Region Hospital in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan.
