The college president, Jing Yaxin, showed me the new Aba Teachers College. He says reopening classes last September was a miracle. Four thousand students are now studying here. We also met Jing Yaxin one year ago. At that time, his biggest dream was to get the students to safety so they could continue their education.

Jing Yaxin, President of Aba Teachers College, said, "The  past year has been extremely memorable. It's also a different  one for us. After all the students were relocated, our firm  idea was to resume study as soon as possible."

Jing Yaxin, President of Aba Teachers College, said, "The past year has been extremely memorable. It's also a different one for us. After all the students were relocated, our firm idea was to resume study as soon as possible."

But rebuilding a school takes time. And the earthquake took the lives of two of his students and injured more than 50. It also takes time to get over the painful memories of the past.

Latest figures from the provincial government indicate the earthquake damaged over 3,000 schools and colleges across Sichuan. Most of them are being rebuilt. By the end of this year, 95 percent of the students can go back to permanent classrooms. And all student survivors will return to normal study in the early spring.
