31 landslide bodies found as more storms expected

Rescuers have found 31 bodies but seven people remain missing after a massive landslide hit a hydropower construction site in Fujian province on Sunday.

The bodies were recovered as floods triggered by rainstorms hit a number of southern and central areas of China on Monday.

The landslide, which happened at about 5 am on Sunday in mountainous Taining county, unleashed about 100,000 cubic meters of mud and rocks, burying a temporary shed at the construction site and damaging offices.
