Chengdu: China is not just counting its dead but also mourning them, Monday saw the start of three days of official mourning.

Busy streets all across China came to a standstill on Monday as the nation collectively mourned those killed in last week's deadly earthquake.

China's colour of mourning in a wave of national grief suddenly turns to determination as they shout "press on, China!"

They cry and wipe away their tears as they say, determination and hope "rebuild".

Many are convinced that China will emerge stronger in the wake of a natural disaster that shook a region testing the resolve of an entire nation.
