"Thanks for the medicines and nutritional liquids but we would like some sausages": this is what the 12 Chinese miners trapped 600 meters deep in a gold mine in Shandong asked for, writes the BBC.
The 12 communicated with the rescuers through a newly installed telephone line.
Ten other workers are reported missing in the mine by a tunnel explosion on 10 January.
Eleven of them are stuck in one section of the mine and one person in another, according to the miners.
