A boy rides a bicycle on the ruins of collapsed buildings during the May 12 Earthquake in Dujiangyan, Sichuan province June 23, 2008. China's pledged 70 billion yuan ($10.2 billion) fund for the reconstruction of earthquake-hit areas will mainly come from larger-than-expected fiscal revenues, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Tuesday.
