The well-being and education of children in quake-ravaged areas is one of the top concerns for the Chinese president.
During his visit to Shaanxi province on Saturday, Hu Jintao dropped in on a tent school in Jinshansi village. Nearly all of the houses were flattened in this area.
President Hu brought the children a very special wish for a happy Children's Day along with a pledge to help build a new school.
