Rice commended the efforts of medical staff. "You have done a good job. You saved a lot of people," she told Doctor Jin Weitie.

Later on she visited a culture center in the settlement where she watched the Beijing opera and a show performed by the children.

"It is good to see people are recovering and going on with their lives, and children are studying and performing", she said.

She presented a book on US national parks to 14-year-old boy, Zhou Yifan, after they chatted together in English. She inscribed the book with a message of good wishes.
