Southwest China's Sichuan province, where the earthquake struck a week ago, was in public mourning on Saturday.
一周前，地震袭击了中国西南部四川省。本周六，公众举行悼念活动。

The mourning began with all transportation vehicles sounding their sirens at 8:02 a.m., the time the devastating earthquake hit. It was followed by a silent tribute of 3 minutes. Up to 6 pm Friday, 196 people were killed, another 21 were missing. Over 13,000 people were injured in the quake with Lushan and Baoxing counties suffered most.
