    The victims included 88 primary school students and four villagers in Shalan Town of Ning'an City, which was hit by a heavy flood and ensuing mountain torrent Friday afternoon.

    Another 17 students remained missing, and rescue operation is continuing tensely, said an official at the rescue headquarters.
