Hopes of finding their loved ones alive are slim with more than two days
having passed since the initial flooding.
"All I can hope is that the miners' bodies will be found," said Zeng
Huanbiao, one of the four survivors.
"I cannot remember exactly what happened," he recalled in a local hospital.
The 30-year-old miner was washed along the mineshaft by the flood waters as he
clutched a floating piece of wood.
Zeng, a native of Xingning, is suffering inspiratory pneumonia, kidney and
lung trauma and breathing difficulties, a doctor overseeing his case said.
Despite the black outlook, Huang Huahua, governor of Guangdong, pledged, "If
there is a tiny hope, we will spare no efforts to rescue the trapped miners."
The rescue headquarters at the site announced a list of missing miners
yesterday morning. The missing workers mainly came from Hunan and Jiangxi
provinces and Xingning.
