The
Hope

This
is the most amazing eyewitness account of a huge event.
Through his camera lens, the author known as 新洋, recorded and
reported, and is still recording and reporting to this
very day, the horrific catastrophe and incredible human response. The
following are the images edited from some of his photos
and English translation of the related notes:

This sports stadium serves as a
major relief centre for the earthquake victims,
but it is almost an empty building. Some staff
tell me that most people have already packed and
left for home to attend their crop fields as the
sowing season is approaching.
Only on the notice board the
memories of the deadly disaster are still loud
and haunting.
The note on the photo reads:
Looking for My Son.

May all deceased rest in peace,
all inquiry recover well, all survivors rebuilt
life soon!!! Go, my friend!
The survivors begin to rebuild
their lives. A granny picks up scattered broad
bean.
A family of three collect building
materials from the rubble for their new housing
project.
Skilled elderlies work together to
make special bamboo containers in order to help
strengthening the river banks before flood season
arrives.
Those working in the field without
machine.
Those working in the field with
machines.
I ask some of the peasants, whom I
first met just shortly after the quake when they stood on the roadside with
messages
on cardboards reading "no water, no
food", what the situations are with them
now. They blush in reflection and then laught.
On a street I see a group of
military personnels all barefooted passing by.
Upon enquiry I've learned that they just returned
from paddy fields after helping the locals to
transplanted rice seeds.
