Many survivors were found on Saturday, five days after the disaster, including a German tourist who was pulled from rubble in Wenchuan after being buried for 114 hours, Xinhua news agency said. <...> In earthquakes elsewhere in the world, survivors have been found a week or more after the disaster. In Baguio in the Philippines in 1990, a cook was found alive after two weeks in the rubble of a shattered hotel. <...> Zhang Xue's parents and aunt have been looking for the 15-year-old girl ever since the quake brought down the Ju Yuan High School in Dujiangyan. In a hospital, distraught, they looked at the body of a girl, lowered their eyes and shook their heads. "The girl has the same name and age, but she's not our child," her mother said. <...> Offers of help have flooded in and foreign rescue teams from Japan, Russia, Taiwan, South Korea and Singapore have arrived.
