Many TV viewers were moved to tears on May 13 when Premier Wen Jiabao was seen comforting a crying girl, who was believed to be orphaned by the Sichuan quake at the time.
As flags throughout the country fly at half-mast in a three-day national mourning period that started yesterday, images of those who died in the disaster continue to touch citizens' hearts.
Stories of heroism are not the only ones to have emerged from the darkness of the past week. Child survivors of the deadly quake have also been recalling how they coped with being trapped under rubble.
Stories of how teachers saved the students and often sacrificed their own lives in the process are already beginning to touch millions of people around the country.
Amid stories of quake rescuers' heroism and victims' survival, one little boy's steely resolve to triumph over the tragedy has captured the imagination of a nation.
