One survivor rescued from Shenzhen landslide

One man was pulled out alive early Wednesday morning more than 60 hours after a landslide hit an industrial park in the southern city of Shenzhen on Sunday.

The 19-year-old survivor, named Tian Zeming, was rescued by a detachment of the armed police around 6:30 am and rushed to the Guangming New District Central Hospital.

He is in stable condition and has been taken to the operating room to receive a surgical debridement, said Wang Guangming, president of the hospital.

Rescuers and armed police identified the exact location of Tian at 1 a.m. on Wednesday, and found him at 3:30 am.

Firefighters had to squeeze into the narrow room around Tian and remove the debris by hands, said Zhang Yabin, an armed police participating in the rescue.

Before he was pulled out, Tian had been given oxygen and received intravenous infusion, Zhang said.
