A man buried in rubble for almost three days after a landslide hit an area of Shenzhen in China, has been pulled out alive.<\/p>\n
The landslide, which struck early on Sunday, engulfed more than 30 buildings in an industrial district.<\/p>\n
Three bodies have so far reportedly been recovered. More than 70 people are still missing.<\/p>\n
The landslide happened when a huge man-made mound of earth and construction waste collapsed, after heavy rains.<\/p>\n
The government has opened an official investigation into the incident, after it emerged that authorities had previously issued warnings about the mound.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old survivor was found around 04:00 local time on Wednesday (20:00 GMT Tuesday), after being buried for 67 hours. <\/p>\n
He has been named as Tian Zeming, a migrant worker from Chongqing in south-western China.<\/p>\n
