Acts of kindness seen in quake's aftermath

When I visited the intensive care unit at Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Hospital in Kangding, Sichuan province, on Monday afternoon, I was touched by a migrant worker's interaction with four nurses.

Wu Maoqing, the worker, kept saying "thank you" to the nurses, who were patiently helping move him from one side of his bed to the other to prevent him from developing bedsores.

Migrant workers are low on the social ladder, but the nurses were kind to him even though he was dirty, he said.
