Wen also called on local authorities to be ready for aftershocks, mud flow and landslides, and to limit casualties. The 66-year-old premier visited quake-affected people in the badly-hit Lueyang County in Shaanxi Province Friday afternoon, and urged people to resume farming while rebuilding their lost homes. He then visited students at a middle school and encouraged them to work harder and devote themselves to the development of their hometowns. Wen also inspected reconstruction work in Gansu's Longnan city on Saturday. State Councillor Ma Kai accompanied Wen during the visit. As of Saturday noon, the death toll in the May 12 earthquake had reached 69,181.
