A bullet train was travelling south from the Zhejiang provincial capital of Hangzhou when it lost power in a lightning strike on Saturday and was hit from behind by a second train, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
The disaster has cast doubts about China's breakneck plans to expand high-speed rail across the country.
Railways Minister Sheng Guangzu today apologised to the victims of the crash and their families. But government officials haven't explained why the second train was apparently not warned there was a stalled train in its path.
Rescuers found more bodies on Sunday afternoon, bringing the death toll to 43.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
