Sixteen Olympic torchbearers on Friday sent variety of presents to seven children from quake-hit area ahead of the Children's Day, which falls on June 1.
The quake-affected children, who were moved here from Sichuan and are receiving treatment in a hospital, received the gifts of toy guns, basketball, books, pencil boxes and new shoes.
The Olympic torch relay will be held in Hubei province in the coming three days.
"I sincerely hope they will have a happy Children's Day and I'm confident that they will conquer any difficulties in the aftermath of the earthquake," said Olympic diving champion Hu Jia.
