Local primary school resumes classes in Yushu County

Our reporter, Xu Zhaoqun, is in Yushu County. He witnessed the resumption of classes at a local primary school earlier this afternoon.

Qiang Wei, Party Secretary, Qinghai Province, said, "The earthquake has destroyed many schools and suspended classes for children. But many are eager to return to the classroom.

Yesterday, I saw a little girl sitting in a tent reading her text book. I was deeply moved by the scene. I feel that the party and the government should go all out to ensure they can resume classes.

Local primary school is the first to resume classes at a make-shift building erected in just one day.
