A memorial service was held on Sunday in Ludian County of Yunnan Province for the victims of the massive earthquake that hit the area a week ago.

At 10 a.m., locals and rescuers stood in silence to mourn the 617 people killed in the 6.5-magnitude quake that struck Ludian on Aug. 3. Some presented white and yellow chrysanthemums to pay a tribute to the deceased. Another 112 are still missing.

The rescue team from Chongqing took off their caps to mourn.
