Miraculous survival tale retold

The 35-year-old miner survived an unbelievable 25 days in the darkness of a flooded coalmine in Qinglong county, Guizhou province.

But media reports of his miraculous survival, along with those of two other miners, have made life more difficult for him. The stories remind him of his dreadful experience, the dark pit, hunger, the rushing water and above all the fear of death, Wang Yiming, of the psychology department of Guiyang medical college's hospital, said on Friday.

The accident in Qinglong buried 11 miners on June 17. Two more were killed when water flooded the mine.
