All six people that went missing after a boat capsized in north China's Hebei Province on Saturday have been found alive, local authorities said on Sunday.
The boat capsized at around 2:30 p.m. in Taolinkou Village, Lulong County of the city of Qinhuangdao, causing 31 people to fall into the water and 12 of them dead, according to the city government.
