A 61-year-old woman was saved alive Saturday evening by Russian rescuers after being buried for up to 127 hours in the rubble in the quake-ravaged southwest China's Sichuan Province.

The woman was in good condition with a sober mind while being pulled from a collapsed residential building at about 9:16 PM in Dujiangyan, a city southeast of the epicenter of Monday's 7.8-magnitude earthquake, the Wenchun County.

"Her hands and feet can still move, and she can still speak," said Li Wenxin, a counselor from the Foreign Ministry who accompanied the Russian rescuers.

The survivor had lived in the first floor of the six-story building and she was buried in the debris of the concrete ceiling after the quake, Li said.

The unidentified woman was the first survivor found by foreign rescue teams -- including a total of 237 rescuers from Japan, Russia, the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Singapore-- who had arrived in Sichuan to aid the disaster relief efforts, Li said.

The Russian rescuers were still trying to save a second possible survivor trapped in the debris of the building, he said.

Into the sixth day since the devastating earthquake, China's worst in more than 30 years, rescuers, including more than 130,000 troops, were still struggling to pull possible survivors from debris of collapsed houses, schools and factories.

The Information Office of the State Council put the quake death toll at 28,881 nationwide as of 2:00 PM Saturday. In Sichuan alone, more than 28,300 died, and at least 10,600 people remain buried, said Sichuan Province Vice Governor Li Chengyun.
