(XinhuaWang Shen) MANILA, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday urged Japan "walk the talk" and put its positive expression of improving ties with China into action. As close neighbors, the long stalemate between China and Japan is not in the interest of either side, nor would it benefit regional peace and stability, Wang said while meeting with Taro Kono, who has recently taken over as Japanese foreign minister. Wang also explained China's position on the South China Sea issue, urging Japan to respect the fact that the situation in the South China Sea has stabilized and respect the efforts made by China and members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in this regard. He called on Japan to play a more constructive role in regional peace and stability, instead of following other countries' lead to stir up troubles. Wang noted that the difficulties in the China-Japan ties in recent years originated from whether Japan is sincerely willing to see China as a cooperation partner and to accept China's development and growth. The Chinese foreign minister said he hopes Japan to walk the talk, putting its positive expression to improve ties with China into concrete policies and actions, instead of making troubles for China after expressing readiness for better relations. Wang showed respect to Taro Kono's father Yohei Kono. He described Yohei Kono as a statesman with conscience in history and independent personality who devoted himself wholeheartedly to promoting friendship between China and Japan for years. Wang said he hopes Taro Kono could inherit the correct ideology of his father and make endeavors to truly improve the China-Japan ties in his tenure in office as Japan's foreign minister. For his part, Kono said Japan attaches importance to China. Shoulder to shoulder, Japan and China could make significance contributions to Asia's rejuvenation and world peace, Kono said. As this year marks the 45th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China, Kono said he hopes the two countries could increase exchanges, resume dialogue, boost mutual understanding and constantly improve relations, and he is willing to make sincere efforts toward this end. JIUZHAIGOU, Sichuan, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- When soldier Li Dingyong crawled into a tour bus that had been deformed by falling rocks, he was saddened to find the bodies of two tourists. Jiuzhaigou is a popular tourist destination in the mountains on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in southwest China's Sichuan Province. A major earthquake struck this other-worldly landscape on Tuesday night, turning what was supposed to be a joyful night for tourists in the remote summer hideaway into a nightmare. According to the provincial government, the death toll has risen to 20, with 431 injured. Thousands of rescuers were dispatched to help with relief efforts in Jiuzhaigou. Right after the earthquake, Li, 30, and his fellow soldiers were told to clear the clogged highway, save the injured and search for missing people and vehicles along the 301 provincial highway, which connects the Jiuzhaigou tourist area and the Huanglong Jiuzhai Airport. The road is the shortest route between the airport and the tourist area about 80 km away. Every year during summer and winter holidays, countless passengers from around the country visit Jiuzhaigou via the airport. But following the earthquake, the highway has become the best way to transport stranded passengers eager to leave Jiuzhaigou. "After the earthquake, the highway became impassable because huge rocks and tonnes of dirt from landslides caved onto the road," Li said. "The ensuing quakes and landslides stranded tourists and destroyed buses and passenger cars on it." As slabs of rocks and loads of dirt continued to fall on the highway, Li and 19 fellow soldiers decided to walk and continue rescue work with their bare hands and several flashlights. "We saw about 40 tourists near a tourist village not far from the highway, some of them injured, and we brought them to safety," Li said. At the most clogged section of the highway, the rocks and dirt formed a huge mass of around 10,000 square meters, Li said. "When fewer rocks and less dirt fell, the soldiers just covered each other and ran quickly over the area through all the dust," he said. Li and other soldiers spent the entire night walking back and forth to transport tourists and clear the highway. He said he walked about 60 km on the highway. When they finally reached the tourist site, it was already 11 a.m. on Wednesday. "I felt a bit tired after reaching the tourist site," he said. "I did not sleep for 30 hours." Like Li Dinyong, Ma Ti was also tasked with transporting tourists stuck near the highway. Ma, 33, said he was among 80 soldiers sent by the prefecture-level public security bureau to assist with relief efforts. "We saw more than 150 tourists stuck in a forest near the highway on Wednesday, two of them severely injured," Ma recalled. As the quake cut telecommunications and electricity, the tourists were unable to contact the outside world, and they were overwhelmed by anxiety, hunger, and exhaustion. "Some of them were crying, and some wanted to walk out of the woods by themselves with luggage," Ma said. To ensure smooth relief work, Ma comforted them and asked them to save their energy while waiting for orders about what to do. Eventually, the soldiers decided to transport them to a transfer" UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 17 (Xi.
