Two Students talk with their teacher in the classroom set up in tents in Urad Front Banner, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Sept. 11, 2003. The dyke of the Yellow River, the second longest in China, suddenly burst on the evening of Sept. 5 in this region.

With the help of the local government, 299 pupils from two schools have been arranged to take class in the tents after their original schools were hit by the floods.
