As a frontline reporter who came to Lushan county, Sichuan province, immediately after the magnitude-7 earthquake on April 20, I have met lots of kindhearted people and witnessed many moving deeds.

Less than an hour and a half after the quake, Shen Yongkang, a 38-year-old surgeon from Wenchuan County People's Hospital in Sichuan, left for Longmen in Lushan, the epicenter, with a six-person medical team.

As soon as they arrived in Longmen at 7 pm, they put up a tent to treat the wounded. They were so busy that Shen and his colleagues slept for only two hours that night.
