Museum's treasures saved

JIANGYOU, Sichuan: Zhang Sufen, 96, has never in her life ever experienced anything like the Sichuan earthquake. She was alone at home at the time of the disaster, and managed to make her way down from her fourth floor flat to safety.

"I'm fine - I still drink a tiny cup of liquor every day," the great-great-grandmother said in her tent at Jiangyou's Li Bai Memorial Museum. "My family is fine too. We're good here."

And so are the treasures of our museum, Zhang's eldest son Zheng Siyong, a 76-year-old landscape artist, said. He is one of the museum's founding members.
