A man for all disasters

Chen Yan has had a lot to handle during the recent run-up to the first anniversary of the earthquake in Wenchuan.

Not only has the hero had to deal with the constant media interest, he has also spent most of his spare time this past month in Hanwang town, a two-hour drive from his home in Chengdu, helping organize a memorial.

And the 37-year-old is also planning to wed his fiance Peng Lu after the ceremony there today.
