Heavy rain triggered mudslides and landslides in several towns of Wenchuan county, where an 8-magnitude earthquake claimed almost 70,000 lives two years ago on May 12, 2008. The town of Yingxiu, which was the epicenter of the 2008 quake, was inundated, and 31 people are missing after a mudslide hit the Minjiang River and forced it to change its course. [Photo/Xinhua]
