Chen Shengying, armed police, said, "As long as there is hope, we will seize every moment to keep searching. We are all giving 100 percent effort."
Hu Tingyu, volunteer rescuer, said, "I was deeply moved when I saw Premier Wen Jiabao inspecting the disaster-hit areas. He is almost 70 years old. I did not tell my wife that I'm here to help with the rescue work. But really, it's nothing. Anyone would do it."
