SHANGHAI - A two-year-old girl who miraculously survived July's fatal high-speed train crash in East China's Zhejiang province can stand up after a month of treatment and rehabilitation at a Shanghai hospital, doctors said Friday.

Xiang Weiyi, who was pulled out of a demolished train car 21 hours after the crash, suffered serious injuries to her left leg, which nearly had to be amputated.

"She can stand up from time to time, but we have advised her guardians to prevent her from standing up for too long. It will take a long time before she can stand up without help," said Zhao Li, head of the pediatric orthopaedics department of Xinhua Hospital, where the toddler was treated.

Xiang arrived at the hospital on August 22 after undergoing five operations at a hospital in Wenzhou, where the crash occurred.

"After her wounds are fully healed, we will provide her with more rehabilitative treatment," Zhao said.

Xiang, who lost both of her parents in the crash, was the last survivor to be found in the wreckage after a bullet train rear-ended a stalled train on a railway in Wenzhou on July 23, killing 40 people and injuring 177.

Xiang was transferred to Shanghai at the request of her uncle Xiang Yuyu, who wrote a letter to the Ministry of Railways on August 14 pleading for better treatment for his niece.
