9月1日，正在四川地震灾区考察的中共中央政治局常委、国务院总理温家宝来到设在四川长虹集团培训中心的北川中学临时学校，参加正在这里举行的秋季开学典礼。 

　　Along with more than 3,000 teachers and students, Premier Wen Jiabao attended the opening of a temporary middle school in southwest China's quake zone as the new semester started on Monday.

　　Beichuan Middle School was among the hardest-hit schools in the May 12 earthquake. Wen visited students and teachers at the school three times prior to the Monday event.

　　Following the flag raising and national anthem, Wen said: "Students and teachers, it's been exactly 110 days since the May 12 earthquake. Beichuan survives, and the Beichuan Middle School survives. We stand on our own feet, tough and unafraid.

　　"The quake brought considerable misfortunes, and it brought experience and strength, too. Now we know one thing, and it's that as long as we choose to confront adversity with courage, we will surely overcome any disaster.
