Six magicians from central China's Henan Province visited a hospital in Zhengzhou city. They performed magic tricks for children who were injured in the disaster and evacuated from Sichuan. The children were delighted with their front-row seat to magic.
Magician said "Do you know what this trick means? It shows that our hearts are beating together forever and we will stand by you forever."
In Shanghai, the students in local German and French schools gathered on the playground, sending their best wishes to earthquake-affected children in Sichuan province via paintings. The students painted some of the most beautiful pictures they could think of on two white tents. The tents were later delivered to quake-hit areas on Wednesday so students in Sichuan province could begin having classes in tent classrooms right away filled with loving hearts.

Moving east to Shandong Province's Qingdao city, some first-year students in local primary schools will become Young Pioneers on Children's Day. They also decided to send their red scarves, the symbol of the Pioneers to Sichuan.
One student in Qingdao said "We hope that all of the students in the quake-hit areas can go back to school as soon as possible."
It's hard to say when all the earthquake-affected children in Sichuan province can regain a normal life. But for now, thanks to a little help from their young friends across the country -- they will never feel, all alone.
