One Year Anniversary of Sichuan Earthquake

One Year after the Quake:

 
A memorial tablet in the quake centre Beichuan County Town   It's a common scene in the disaster areas to see neighbours helping each other building their new homes
     
 
A new house with distinctive Chinese flavour   A new village with strong local feature
     
 
A new school built through aid and donation   A new hospital built through aid and donation
     
 
The local business reopened   Spring returned to the farmland
     
 
Most roads to mountain villages reparied   Highways well maintained

But the recovery progress is not even across the board:

 
A memorial tablet in the quake centre Beichuan County Town   These elderly couple have difficulties to complete their new housing project as banks refuse to offer them a loan since they are both over fifty - the age for retirement for female blue collar workers in China.

In some remote pockets of the quake affected area people are still living like refugees due to local governments' non-action.
