Later on Sunday night and throughout Monday, the survivors were pulled out from a platform, where the rescuers had drilled a vertical hole to ensure oxygen in the water－flooded pit and send down bags of glucose (葡萄糖)．Thirty－eight miners were still missing.

　　“It is a miracle，”said Luo Lin, head of the State Administration of Work Safety. “The trapped miners stayed so firmly determined down the mine shaft, passing through eight days and eight nights to live.” The workers also survived by eating bark from pine wood used in building the mines, Chinese television said.

　　The government had succeeded in encouraging thousands of rescue workers to pump out water and search for the miners. After that, the water level dropped low enough for rescue workers to enter the shaft.

　　It was rare good news in China’s dangerous coal－mining industry, the deadliest in the world with thousands killed every year in floods, explosions, collapses and other accidents. Shanxi Province is the heartland of that industry.

　　Strong demand for energy and not strict safety standards have made China’s mines often deadly places to work despite a government drive to clamp down on(对……进行压制或取缔)small, unsafe operations where most accidents occur.

　　Workers are tempted into (被诱惑去) the mines by wages that can be much higher than for many other jobs open to blue－collar workers and rural migrants.
