A family of four were killed when a primary school building collapsed Friday in east China's Jiangxi Province.
The four -- two grandparents and two grandchildren -- were sleeping in the two-story teaching building of the school in Dangkou Village, Yihuang County when a landslide flattened it at around 1 a.m.
The teacher was taking his turn to tend the school. Rescuers were still clearing the debris.
