THE 32-month-old girl saved 21 hours after Saturday's train collision has begun eating again, a Wenzhou hospital said yesterday.
Xiang Weiyi, a Wenzhou native, is "getting better," said the hospital, three days into the toddler's treatment.
"The girl can take liquid food now," doctors said. However, she is still in a critical condition according to the public health department of Zhejiang Province.
Many people have called at the hospital to see the girl and donated money for the family. Xiang's parents were both killed in the accident.
"Yiyi (her nickname) is the starting point and the objective of everything now," said Xiang Yuyu, the girl's uncle, in his online blog. "All my judgment and decisions depend on it."
The uncle listed donation details online, extending his thanks on behalf of the girl and saying the priority was Yiyi's health. The family has received more than 260,000 yuan (US$40,365) in donations so far.
The girl, the last survivor rescued from the crash, was "still in fear and anxiety," Dr Dai Wanglei told reporters.
"She would wake up with a start in the middle of the night," said nurses.
Xiang does not know that her parents died in the crash and would cry for her mother when she woke.
Her parents had posted pictures online showing her happily sitting on the train before the collision.
