Youngsters from Wenchuan quake zone revisit Russia
He Yujiao, now a 21-year-old law student at Ningbo University in Zhejiang province, was one of the students who visited Russia in 2008.
A local of Qingchuan county in Sichuan, He was traumatized by the quake as her father perished.
During her three-week stay in Vladivostok, He saw the sea for the first time and learned how to make a ceramic baby from a Russian teacher.
As He did not have an English name, a young Russian volunteer gave her own English name "Rechael" to her and called her "Little Rechael."
"The young Russian videographer who filmed our life for 21 days knew a little Chinese,” He said. ”He would tell jokes in Chinese to make us laugh. Thanks to them all, we forgot the sorrow caused by the quake and our peaceful state of mind returned."
