China's internet users have created about 30,000 drawings for a 2-year-old girl who was pulled from the wreckage of a bullet train crash in which 40 people died, Wenzhou Economic Daily reported.

The website weibo.com called for people to make drawings for Xiang Weiyi, who will have to spend the Mid-autumn Festival, one of China's most important holidays, which will fall on Sept 12, in hospital.

The twitter-like site said most of the drawings are from parents with children about the girl's age. Some are by painters and cartoonists.

Xiang Weiyi was trapped for more than 21 hours after the train crash on July 23 in Wenzhou, East China's Zhejiang province. Her parents died.
