国内英语新闻:"It's good to be back to school": students in disaster-hit regions
"Maybe a dozen," said short-haired Guo softly. "Our new school facilities, like the beds and toilets, were specially designed to make life easier for people like me. Now I can take care of myself, on my own, at school."
What is more exciting for Guo is that after her last operation on her leg last month, doctors told her that she can stop using a wheelchair and, in one month, begin walking with the help of crutches.
All school buildings of the new schools were built no higher than five stories so students can be easily evacuated in case of an emergency.
A total of 1,467 people were killed and 298 others remain missing as of Monday due to the Zhouqu mudslide. The death toll from the Wenchuan earthquake was 68,712, among which 5,335 were students.
