BEIJING — A 60-year-old woman has been rescued alive after being trapped for 195 hours following the earthquake in China.

Hong Kong-based Phoenix Satellite Television said the woman, identified only by her last name Wang, survived by drinking rainwater.

The station cited air force officer Xie Ling Long, who said the woman was found conscious Tuesday afternoon, having only suffered a hip fracture and facial bruises.

The report said Wang was trapped in a landslide that swept away a temple in the city of Pengzhou. She was able to initially move, but a later aftershock trapped her between two rocks.
