Chinese President Hu Jintao (C) sends stationery to children and wishes them a happy Children's Day in a tent school in Jinshansi Village, Guangping Town, Ningqiang County, Shaanxi Province, northwest China, May 31, 2008. Hu Jintao arrived in Shaanxi Province on Saturday morning to oversee quake relief operations.

The well-being and education of children in quake-ravaged areas is one of the top concerns for the Chinese president.

During his visit to Shaanxi Province on Saturday, Hu Jintao dropped in on a tent school in Jinshansi village. Nearly all of the houses were flattened in this area.

President Hu brought the children a very special wish for a happy Children's Day along with a pledge to help build a new school.
