In this file photo taken on May 16, 2008, Xu Guang (front) and his classmates, then students of Malu Primary School, hold placards showing their gratitude to those providing aid during the earthquake in Qingchuan County, southwest China's Sichuan Province. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the deadly 8.0-magnitude earthquake that jolted southwest China's Sichuan Province on May 12, 2008. Only four days after the earthquake, Xu Guang and his 100-odd classmates of Malu Primary School voluntarily held up banners to show their gratitude to those who give a hand in reconstructing their school, which fell into ruins during the earthquake. Children's move caused a sensation in that year. As 10 years pass by, the aid to the school has never stopped. The nationwide supports have built the school a fully-equipped modern campus with 536 students. (Xinhua/Tao Ming)
