24 injured after Beijing subway escalator malfunction discharged from hospital

Twenty-four of the 30 people who were injured after an escalator at a Beijing subway stop malfunctioned Tuesday have been discharged from hospital, subway officials said Wednesday.

The 24 people who suffered slight injuries have been discharged, while the other six are still receiving medical treatment, according to Yang Ling, a spokeswoman with the Beijing MTR Corporation, which operates the subway line.

The injuries of the six people are not life-threatening, she added.

The escalator malfunction happened at 9:36 a.m. when the rising escalator suddenly changed its direction at the A exit of the Zoo Station on Line 4 subway, leaving a 13-year-old boy dead and 30 others injured.

The malfunction of a component led to the sudden loosening of the escalator\’s drive chain, according to a statement released by the municipal quality and technical supervision bureau Wednesday.

The bureau has urged subway and bus stations, airports and shopping malls to check escalators and automatic walkways to ensure their safety, said the statement.

The escalator, produced by the world\’s largest escalator producer OTIS, was still in the guarantee period and the manufacturer just completed a routine check on June 22, Yang said Tuesday.

Initial investigations show that the escalator\’s protection mechanism that was supposed to prevent such a sudden backward movement did not work, said a spokesman of Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport on Wednesday.

The spokesman said that a recall of OTIS\’s escalators may be needed if future investigations show flaws in the escalators\’ design or manufacture.

Before investigations results are released, Beijing\’s subway construction companies will not purchase any more OTIS\’s escalators, he said.

All the escalators in Beijing\’s subway stations had been checked as of Wednesday, he said.

Beijing has 126,000 elevators, including 14,000 escalators and automatic walkways.

Drunk driving deaths drop following harsher penalties

Incidents of drunk driving, as well as deaths attributable to drunk driving, have both decreased by more than 30 percent over the past two months after an amended Criminal Law imposing harsher punishments for drunk drivers took effect on May 1.

Police across China reported 8,756 cases of drunk driving between May 1 and June 30, down 33.6 percent year-on-year, according to a statement issued by the traffic management authority of the Ministry of Public Security on Wednesday.

Police reported 105 deaths attributable to drunk driving during the same period, a year-on-year drop of 33.1 percent, the statement said.

The amended Criminal Law stipulates that all drunk driving incidents are considered criminal offenses, whereas the previous law imposed criminal penalties on drunk drivers only when they caused serious traffic accidents.

In addition, an amended Road Traffic Safety Law, which also took effect on May 1, stipulates that convicted drunk drivers will have their driver\’s licenses revoked instead of suspended, as they were under the previous law.

According to the statement, police will continue to crack down on drunk driving crimes in accordance with the law and make improvements to the procedures they use to investigate such crimes.

Rain-triggered landslide leaves 18 dead, 4 injured in NW China

Eighteen people were confirmed dead and four others injured in a rain-triggered landslide that hit Lueyang County in northwestern Shaanxi Province Tuesday, local authorities said Wednesday.

Torrential rain hit Lueyang County from 3 a.m. to midday Tuesday, triggering a 5,000-cubic-meter landslide that engulfed a two-story building in the county seat at 11:15 a.m., the government of Hanzhong City said in a statement.

The local government sent more than 400 people to the site for rescue operations.

Rescuers reached 22 people, but 17 were already dead, and one died after treatment failed. Four others were injured and are currently still hospitalized.

Also in Lueyang, an 80-year-old villager, Sun Guiying, remains missing after she was swept away while crossing a swollen river Tuesday.

As of midnight Wednesday, the downpours that have also wreaked havoc in 10 other counties of Hanzhong City have affected 102,300 people and forced the evacuation of nearly 5,000.

The Hanzhong government said disasters caused by the torrential rains had leveled 1,341 houses and damaged 5,442 others, and nearly 6,000 hectares of farmland were submerged.

Initial statistics indicate that the flooding has caused a direct economic losses of 160 million yuan (25 million U.S. dollars).

More heavy rains are expected to hit the southern part of Shaanxi over the next 24 hours, said the Shaanxi Meteorological Center.

From 9 a.m. Wednesday to 8 a.m. Thursday, the eastern area of Hanzhong City is expected to receive more than 50 mm of rain, according to the meteorological center.

Flood control authorities in Shaanxi are on high alert and are evacuating people living in low-lying areas and places threatened by possible heavy rains and ensuing mountain torrents.

In Shaanxi\’s neighboring Sichuan Province, a rain-triggered mudslide blocked National Highway 317 at Lixian County of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture at around 6 p.m. Wednesday, said officials with the provincial flood control headquarters.

The mudslide also blocked three fourths of Zagunao River that runs by the county. No casualties have been reported as of 9 p.m. Wednesday, officials said.

About 29,000 households have been without power since Monday when torrential rains began to lash Wangcang County, said the county government spokesman.

All the 20 schools in the county have been damaged to some degree, with an area of 130 square meters of school buildings collapsed and another 9,560 square meters in danger of collapsing, he said.

A male giant panda, aged about 10, was found drowned in the Zipingpu Reservoir in the township of Yingxiu Tuesday morning. It was probably swept into a section of the Minjiang River by rain-triggered floods and mudslides, said provincial forestry officials.

In northeast China\’s Heilongjiang Province, Wengquan River burst its bank at 9 a.m. Wednesday, sweeping millions of bags of cultivated fungi away in Jiayin County in the city of Yichun, where fungus cultivation is a main source of income for the locals. There have been no reports of casualties yet.

A veteran\’s honor and shame after war against Japanese aggression

by Xinhua writers Bai Xu and Lu Qiuping

At first glance, 91-year-old Ren Tinghan looks like any other ordinary farmer living in north China\’s Hebei Province. However, the scars on his body and a faded photograph on the wall of his home betray his past.

\”It has been 70 years. Many of my fellows have already left,\” said Ren, a resident of the province\’s city of Langfang.

\”July 7th is drawing near. It is time once again to mourn for them,\” the old man said.

Ren joined the National Revolutionary Army in 1936 and resisted Japanese invaders in Nanyuan, a town located near Beijing\’s Lugou Bridge, in 1937.

On July 7, 1937, Japanese soldiers attacked Chinese forces at Lugou Bridge, marking the official start of an eight-year war between the two countries. An extensive Japanese invasion hit China\’s shores just 20 days later.

\”The memories are still very fresh. I feel like these events just happened yesterday,\” Ren said.

[b]THE JAPANESE INVADE[/b]

Although Ren came from a fairly well-off family, he still selected to join the military at the age of 17, one year after his marriage. The officer in charge of enlisting couldn\’t understand why a man from a wealthy family would want to be a soldier.

\”He said to me that life was strenuous for a soldier,\” Ren said.

Ren went on to enlist in the pistol battalion of the No. 29 Nationalist Corps. His primary task was to protect the corps\’ commanders.

Ren keeps a clear vision of the time when his division commander, Zhao Dengyu, told him and his fellow soldiers that the Japanese had begun their invasion of Beijing.

\”He said that the Japanese had asked to enter the city, stating they were searching for a \’missing soldier\’,\” Ren said.

Ren\’s battalion quickly became agitated. \”We were excited, because we finally had the chance to fight the Japanese,\” he said, adding he and the rest of his battalion were still too young to truly be afraid.

Rainstorms to hit SW China as heat wave continues in the south

The National Meteorological Center (NMC) has forecast that rainstorms will pelt China\’s western regions over the next three days while the south will continue to see lingering high temperatures.

The NMC said that from Tuesday to Thursday, storms will hit Chongqing Municipality and some areas in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, and severe rainstorms are expected to hit the northern part of the Sichuan Basin and parts of Shaanxi Province.

The continuous downpours that have wreaked havoc in Sichuan since Thursday evening have left six people dead, four others missing and some 27,600 people forced to relocate, sources with the provincial flood control office said.

As of 5:00 p.m. Monday, the rainstorms have leveled about 1,000 houses and affected some 290,000 people in seven cities and 32 counties in the province, according to the office.

A total of 36 monitoring points from 21 counties have recorded precipitation of more than 100 mm, while the highest rainfall was registered at 465 mm in the city of Chongzhou.

Direct economic losses are estimated to reach 500 million yuan (77 million U.S. dollars) as a result of the rainstorm-triggered flooding.

Rain-triggered mudslides have also cut off access to a pivotal highway in the province, State Highway 213, which links Sichuan with northwestern Gansu Province and southwestern Yunnan Province.

The highway was referred to as a \”lifeline\” by rescue workers following the devastating 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, which occurred in Sichuan\’s Wenchuan County.

Downpours on Monday morning triggered new cave-ins at the Luoquanwan Bridge section of the highway, which greatly hindered repair work.

Scorching heat will continue to hit the southern and southeastern regions, with the highest temperature expected to reach 39 degrees Celsius in some areas, and the heat wave will persist in these regions on Wednesday.

The forecast indicates that Beijing and neighboring Tianjin Municipality will also endure hot weather on Tuesday, with temperatures ranging 35 to 37 degrees Celsius.

Yushu earthquake donations well-supervised: local official

Ten billion yuan (about 1.5 billion U.S. dollars) in donations to a quake-hit area in northwest China\’s Qinghai Province has been strictly managed and supervised to prevent embezzlement, local authorities said.

On April 14, 2010, a deadly earthquake struck Yushu County, located in the province\’s Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. The region has received more than 10 billion yuan in donations since then, none of which has been embezzled or used illegally, according to Zhang Guangrong, the province\’s vice governor.

\”Agreements have been signed between the prefecture\’s government, the Red Cross, the provincial department of civil affairs and the Charity Federation in order to supervise the management of the donations. A management center for the donations has also been jointly established by the four bodies,\” said Cheng Lihua, director of the provincial department of finance.

Officials from the finance department, as well as the province\’s auditing office, have been transferred to the donation management center to supervise the Red Cross\’s work, Cheng said.

The funds were previously managed by the provincial department of civil affairs, the Qinghai Red Cross and the Qinghai Charity Federation, said Zhang Wenlin, director of the provincial supervision department.

More than 40 donor representatives now take part in the planning, auditing and supervision of the donation center, Zhang Wenlin said.

Zhang Guangrong added that a management system has been established to control the way in which the funds are distributed. Under the system, about 7.6 billion yuan has been directed towards 685 post-quake reconstruction projects, while the rest of the money is being used to improve housing and public facilities in the county, Zhang Guangrong said.

Donor representatives from Baidu Inc., China\’s largest search engine, said that they were satisfied with the ways in which their donations were used after supervising the construction of two new primary schools in Yushu County.

\”My wife and I feel grateful for the kind wishes and the concern from society,\” he told China Daily, although the tiredness can be clearly seen on his face.

A family friend who was visiting to show his support said he has been concerned about how the couple is coping with the stress. \”I\’m a bit relieved today. At least they\’re willing to eat something now,\” he said.

Fangyu fell after climbing through the window of the family\’s apartment in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province. She would certainly have died were it not for the quick reactions of Wu Juping, who was passing at the time and managed to catch her before she hit the ground.

The 31-year-old mother suffered a broken arm in the incident and is receiving treatment at the Fuyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Bone Fracture Hospital. Zhang said he has been thinking about visiting her but has been unable to leave his daughter. Instead he asked his brother to drop by on Sunday.

\”I really hope I can bring Niu Niu to visit Wu so she can thank her rescuer in person. I just don\’t know when Niu Niu will recover,\” he said.

Wu, who was been dubbed \”the most beautiful mother\” for her heroics, keeps in regular contact with the girl\’s family to check on her condition.

\”I hope she can recover as soon as possible. I want to visit her when I\’m able to leave the hospital,\” she told China Daily.

Outside Wu\’s ward, more than 10 bunches of flowers were laid on the ground. So far she has been interviewed by more than 50 media organizations. As demand for her time is so high the hospital has set aside an hour for interviews every day.

\”I\’m not used to so much media attention. What I did is no big deal,\” she said. A micro blog has now been set up to update fans on Wu\’s condition. \”Since I can\’t type by myself, the website staff will help me,\” reads one of the first entries.

Wu is still waiting for surgery on her arm and doctors were unable to say when she will leave the hospital, which on Monday announced it will waive her 50,000-yuan ($7,700) treatment fee.

Alibaba, where she works in customer service, also plans to give her 200,000 yuan as a reward for her bravery.
