A 20-YEAR-OLD man was in a stable but critical condition yesterday after being rescued from a killer landslide in northwest China's Shaanxi Province where he had been buried for 54 hours.
Cao Lele and his younger sister Cao Yanyan were pulled out alive early Friday after rescuers heard the young man's cry for help from under a collapsed floor in Shuanghuyu Village, Zizhou County.
The brother and sister were huddled with their mother's body when they were found. Cao Yanyan, 17, died later on Friday in hospital.
The death toll from the landslide that occurred at 1:30am on Wednesday reached 27 with the death of the teenager. The deaths occurred when about 90,000 cubic meters of loess earth from a hillside crushed 25 houses, burying 44 people. Six people escaped uninjured.
Cao Lele remains under intensive care at Zizhou County Hospital. He was very weak but could talk with doctors, hospital head Han Xuefeng said yesterday.
"Cao is still in critical condition, but with further treatment chances are he will make it," Han said.
Cao's father, Cao Jinjun, was waiting anxiously outside his son's ward and constantly asked doctors about his condition.
