Sweets, cartoon books and various kinds of toys were piled in the children's ward of the West China Hospital of Sichuan University in Chengdu, where four young quake victims from Qinghai Province were receiving treatment on Tuesday afternoon.
Duo Ji, 3, the youngest quake victim in the hospital, was joyfully watching a Japanese animated cartoon in his bed.
With one broken leg, he was delivered to the hospital by air for further treatment on the afternoon of April 15. He was found crying in the arms of his deceased mother on the ruins of Gyegu Town.
Gaga, who found Duo Ji and accompanied him to Chengdu, lost his family in the quake including his 8-month pregnant wife.
"I almost gave up my own life the moment my family were gone. But when I saw helpless Duo Ji, I decided to save him with all my strength," he said.
Gaga accompanied little Duo Ji day and night, cheered him up with snack, kept talking to him and sang him Tibetan songs.
Duo Ji's father Palden has not yet found since the quake jolted Yushu on April 14.
Not knowing his mother dead, Duo Ji was still crying for his mother. Wangmu, a 29-year-old Sichuan Tibetan woman, leaving her own 12-year-old son at home, came to the hospital and comforted litter Duo Ji from April 16.
Ba Ding, a 10-year-old Tibetan boy, was more fortunate, for he had just had a video conversation with his parents on Tuesday morning, who were treated in 536 Hospital of Xining, Qinghai.
Ba Ding and his parents were buried in the ruins. Rescued by different rescuing groups, they were sent to hospitals in different provinces.
With the help of the hospitals, they finally got in touch and had a video conversation.
"I am fine. Don't worry about me," said thoughtful little Ba Ding, keeping his injured leg from being seen by his parents.
"Ba Ding would be sent back to his parents once his condition gets better," said Jiang Xianfei, a doctor and publicity official in the hospital.
