摘 要: | WANG Yucheng,a volunteer psychologist, encouraged a newcomer to join the crowd of children around him. "Louder, louder, please. Toll us your name," he said to the shy little boy hovering at the edge of the group. His gentle, fatherly tone quickly dispelled the child's unease, and before long he was just another ord nary eight-year-old, laughing merrily and joining in the games his new friends were playing. The Sound of laughter and fun that erupted from time to time outside the Jiuzhou Gymnasium, in Mianyang, Sichuan Province, was in stark contrast to the desperate cries for help these same children heard in the aftermath of the May 12 earthquake that destrOyed their town and killed many of their friends and family.
