A grieving parent is assisted by relatives as she cries in front of the rubble of the Beichuan Number One Middle School, located around 150 km (93 miles) north of Chengdu in Sichuan Province June 12, 2008, where around 700 children died during last month's massive earthquake. Couples whose only child was killed or seriously injured in the May 12 Sichuan province earthquake may have another, winning an exemption from China's strict family planning rules, the China Daily said on Saturday.
