When Sichuan smiles, hearts melt

For months, 12-year-old Liang Xinyi had recurring nightmares - colorless images of buildings crashing down to the ground, horrific sounds of people screaming in fear, in pain.

The quake survivor from Dujiangyan in Sichuan province said she was suffering from a psychological trauma.

"But suddenly things got better, and I started dreaming of beautiful things in February, soon after I returned from Saudi Arabia," she told China Daily.
