More than a week has passed since a 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Dingri County in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region on January 7. Amid ongoing resettlement and reconstruction efforts, acts of kindness and solidarity are bringing comfort to the affected communities.
In the remote Cuo'ang Village of Quluo Town, firefighters from the Xizang Forest Firefighting Special Operations Unit have taken on a new role. Beyond their usual duties, they are preparing and serving lunch to villagers displaced by the earthquake.
\"We want to do more than just provide emergency assistance,\" said one of the firefighters. \"By cooking meals, we hope to offer warmth and support to the people here.\"
The sight of uniformed firefighters in aprons, stirring pots over open flames, has brought smiles to the faces of villagers still grappling with the aftermath of the quake. The aroma of hot meals fills the air, a comforting reminder of normalcy amidst the chaos.
\"Their help means a lot to us,\" expressed an elderly resident. \"Not only are they ensuring our safety, but they're also taking care of us like family.\"
Reporter Zhao Chenchen was on the scene, capturing these heartfelt moments of community and resilience. The firefighters' efforts exemplify the spirit of unity that has emerged in the wake of the disaster.
As reconstruction continues, such acts of compassion are playing a crucial role in healing and rebuilding the affected communities in Xizang.
