CCTV reporter Liu Ying said, "I'm at the Pediatrics Surgery Ward of the West China Hospital. Many children from the epicenter in Wenchuan County are being treated here. All of them were evacuated by military helicopters."

12-year-old Wang Xing is a student of the Yingxiu Primary School in Wenchuan County. She was evacuated two hours after the quake and was sent to the hospital on Thursday morning.

8-year-old Guo Wen lying on the neighboring bed is also from Yingxiu Primary School.

The girl tells us her biggest wish now is to see her mother, whose whereabouts is still unknown.

8-year-old Guo Wen lying on the neighboring bed is also from Yingxiu Primary School. She tells us she was saved by her father after being trapped under the collapsed school building for a whole day. Her parents are still in Wenchuan to take care of her injured grandma.

Like Wang Xing and Guo Wen, many of the injured children in the hospital have no family with them here.
