Father's Day brings out tears

DEYANG, Sichuan: Zhou Dexiang worked overtime to forget the greatest loss of his life: his wife and daughter.

But the 45-year-old deputy headmaster of Dongqi high school in Deyang could not fight his emotions while visiting the makeshift classrooms on Father's Day yesterday.

"My daughter used to call me 'Teacher Zhou' jokingly," he said. "I will never get to hear those naughty words again."
