seen on airliners.net:
local (Chinese) news is now reporting that the pilot "turned off the wrong engine".
Engine 2 failed (flame-out) at take-off, but pilot mistakenly turned off the healthy engine (engine 1, the good one).
When they found out their mistake, they tried to restart engine 1, but failed.
and there is a FDR chart that appears to confirm that:

plain lines = engine 1, dotted lines = engine 2
This info made its way to the BBC:
"Then the other [left] engine was shut down manually. The pilot tried to restart the engines but to no avail."
