CHENGDU－After flying for five minutes over Wenchuan, Li Xiang finally found a landing place for his helicopter(直升机)on a hill near the earthquake-hit county．
Li, an officer of the Aviation Regiment(陆航团)of the Ghengdu Military Area Command, then made a soft landing and waited as his team got off food and medicine while the people around cried,“Thank you, soldiers!Finally, we have hope．”
After the quake, Li's regiment was the first to fly into the counties and towns such as Wenchuan, Maoxian, Yingxiu and Beichuan．
