'Yes, we still have hope' - survivor

XINING - Making nearly 150 phone calls a day and traveling here and there in the city, to be frank, makes me weary. But I know that's what I came here for - to report everything about the quake.

To refresh myself for that mission, I try to sleep at intervals between interviews. I swallow more rhodiola rosea capsules - the magic herbal medicine that is supposed to reduce high-altitude fatigue for a person like me, who grew up on the plains.

But neither the doze nor the dose helps.
