Yu Yongzhi, a 36-year-old foreman at the Yujin Iron Mine, which was leveled by the mudslides, has been busy searching for his fellow workers and comforting family members of the victims.
Yu survived the disaster but 12 of his fellow workers were instantly buried in front of him. "I introduced most of them into the mine. I am responsible for them and their families as well," Yu said.
