Huo Yang, holding the first issue of "Yang Jiao Hua Beichuan Middle School's Literature Newspaper", is showing her article called "To Catch the Happy Moments".

Soundbite: Huo Yang, Senior student from Beichuan Middle School "My friends, my family members and all the things around me can make me happy. For example, there will be a Chinese class this afternoon, which is my favorite. I like the class, so I'm happy."

To catch every single moment of happiness is not only Huo Yang's attitude towards life, but also the wish of every student at Beichuan Middle School.

On Wednesday Xinhua journalists visited the temporary Beichuan Middle School in Sichuan Changhong Enterprise's training center.

The "Beichuan Middle School" tablet hanging at the gate of the training center was found in the wreckage of the former school.

During the past year, despite the quake Beichuan Middle School has not hesitated in moving forward, and as a result of the national attention 496 out of 593 students have been accepted by universities.

In the first issue of "Yang Jiao Hua", a Junior 3 student wrote: "Love is the root, while thanksgiving is the leaves; dedication is the flower, while happiness is the result."

Students in P.E. class are playing table tennis and volleyball.

Soundbite: Huo Yang, Senior 2 student from Beichuan Middle School "After experiencing so much, to me life is so fragile. Somebody said before that life is like porcelain, it will break even with the lightest force. But then he added, that's why we must try to show its beauty before it breaks."

The new Beichuan Middle School covers an area of more than 200 mu (about 3 acres). Construction will start on May the 12th and is expected to be finished by September the 1st ready for the new academic year.
