the May 12 earthquake cry as they hold portraits of their loved ones
during a commemoration of Children's Day on the rubble-strewn school
campus on June 1, 2008 in Dujiangyan, Sichuan province, China. Hundreds
of parents and relatives of killed pupils wore T-shirts with the slogan
'Severely Punish Corrupt and Shoddy Construction' during the tearful
gathering. (Andrew Wong/Getty Images)
