PREMIER Wen Jiabao yesterday told quake-affected people in Yushu of northwest China's Qinghai Province to "help and care for each other, fight shoulder to shoulder and unite as one to overcome difficulties."
Wen concluded a two-day visit to Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai, saying: "We can overcome the disaster and improve national unity in fighting the calamity."
In his visit to Yushu, Wen visited quake-devastated schools, orphanages, monasteries and camps for quake-displaced people, conveying his utmost sympathy and concern on behalf of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council.
Wen visited the orphanage of Yushu prefecture where most of the 208 orphans were Tibetans.
The orphanage's gate and dormitory were destroyed by the quake. Fortunately, the dining hall, where 202 children were having breakfast when the quake hit Yushu, remained intact.
Teachers and students rescued six children who were under dormitory debris.
Holding the children's hands one by one, Wen told supervisors that warm clothes must be first handed out to the children and that they must be given nutritious food.
Comforting them, Wen said, "Life is full of hope and no matter how big the difficulties we encounter, the sun will rise as always."
"No matter whether you are Tibetans or Hans, you are all in one family," he said.
At the Yushu race course where tents dominated the sight, Wen comforted 1,000 quake-displaced people there.
In an immigrants' village of the Yushu prefecture, he said reconstruction work must be combined with poverty alleviation through development and ecological protection.
"The best way to commemorate the quake victims is to make their hometown better," he said.
