Country mourns Wenchuan earthquake victims on anniversary

People on Saturday visited Yingxiu county in Southwest China's Sichuan province from across the country to mourn victims of the Wenchuan earthquake and those who died saving lives.

On May 12, 2008, a magnitude 8 quake hit Wenchuan in Sichuan province, killing nearly 70,000 people and leaving nearly 18,000 missing.

Wenchuan was rebuilt soon after the earthquake. Just as the county was restored, its people have been in recovery.
