Lying on a bed in the Lizhou District No 2 People's Hospital in Guangyuan, Sichuan province, Wang Mingxing, one of three survivors of a boat accident, is calm.

But as he recounted the accident that took place at 2:49 pm on Saturday, he was emotionally overwhelmed.

The leisure boat carrying 18 people capsized on Bailong Lake during a sudden, strong storm. One child died; 14 other people remain missing.
