Rescue personnel applauded as he was brought to the surface, according to video broadcast by Xinhua, the state-run news agency. He was “extremely weak,” the Yantai city government said on an official social media account. In the afternoon, rescuers continued bringing miners to the surface in groups of two or three. But Sunday, officials said that work on the rescue shaft had progressed much faster than expected. The first miner who was rescued Sunday was in a separate tunnel from the other 10 known to still be alive underground.
