When Chai Maomao found the body of a 3-year-old girl beside a bed in an Eastern Star cabin on Friday night, he was deeply moved.

"It was so sad," the 21-year-old Chai told China Youth Daily. "I pretended she was just asleep."

By Sunday night, 432 passengers and crew members of the Eastern Star had been confirmed dead, and 10 remained missing. Fourteen were rescued alive last week.
