Monuments to honor victims

Beichuan county will build two monuments in memory of the earthquake victims, a local official said.

Both the monuments will come up near Beichuan Middle School, with one carrying the names of the victims and the other of the rescue and relief workers and donors from across the country, Li Chunshou, vice-chairman of the county's people's congress, said yesterday.

Though Beichuan is about 90 km from the epicenter of the quake, it was one of the worst hit places by the May 12 earthquake.
