Effort On To Save Hu's Chalk Words

EXPERTS are working to permanently preserve a chalk message written this month by President Hu Jintao at a school for survivors of a deadly quake in Yushu.

The blackboard, on which Hu wrote 12 Chinese characters during his visit to the Yushu School for Orphans after an earthquake there killed more than 2,200 people, has been removed and sent to the provincial museum, local media reported yesterday.

"There will be new schools! There will be new homes!" the characters read. Hu led children who survived the quake in reading them aloud together.

One of China's top historical relic preservation experts, professor Li Yuhu of Shaanxi Normal University, arrived in Qinghai to work on keeping the writing on the board.
