Lang Zheng (L), known as the "Salute
Boy", poses for a picture in the arms of an officer of Tangdu Hospital
while leaving the hospital after two months of treatment, in Xi'an,
capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, July 27, 2008. Lang, from
the Qushan Township Kindergarten of Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County in
southwest China's Sichuan Province, was rescued from the debris after the
May 12 Wenchuan earthquake. After being put on a stretcher, the injured
and fragile boy slowly raised his right hand and saluted his rescuers in
gratitude. The moment was captured by a photographer and moved the whole
nation. His fractured left arm and partly amputated left fingers have been
recovering well during the two months at Tangdu Hospital. (Xinhua/Ding
