Three people from one family have been rescued in southwest China's Sichuan Province, hours after a landslide on Saturday morning.
The three people were taken to Maoxian County People's Hospital. None have life-threatening injuries.
Qiao Dashuai, the husband, recalled that his wife and he took their one-month-old son and managed to run out of their house, which had been hit badly by the landslide. But after that, they could not seek a path out.

The landslide occurred at around 06:00 Saturday, burying 62 homes and more than 120 people, according to the provincial government.
The landslide from a high part of a mountain hit Xinmo Village in Maoxian County, blocking a 2-km section of river and burying 1,600 meters of road.
The provincial government has launched the highest level of disaster relief response and sent rescue teams to the site, where more than 300 workers with excavators and life-detection instruments are engaged in the search for survivors, according to Tang Limin, spokesperson of Sichuan provincial government.
The provincial public security bureau has sent over 500 rescuers with 23 sniffer dogs and 16 life detectors to the site.
Some 130 traffic police have been stationed along roads and highways linking the provincial capital of Chengdu with the landslide site, more than 400 km away, to form a life line for rescue and disaster relief.
The power supply to Xinmo is still disconnected, but has resumed at other villages in the county, thanks to an emergency repair by the Aba Branch of the State Grid Corporation of China.
The provincial government has appropriated five million yuan (or 730,000 U.S. dollars) for relief work, and sent emergency supplies to the site.
