Under the clear skies of Cuo'ang Village in Quluo Town, Dingri County, the aroma of freshly cooked meals fills the air. It's been over a week since a magnitude-6.8 earthquake struck southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region on January 7. Resettlement and reconstruction efforts are in full swing.
Firefighters from the Xizang Forest Firefighting Special Operations Unit have taken on an unexpected role: they are preparing lunch for the villagers affected by the quake. Our reporter, Zhao Chenchen, met with these dedicated individuals who are providing not just safety but also comfort to the community.
\"We want to do more than just our duty,\" one firefighter said. \"By cooking meals, we hope to bring some warmth and normalcy back to the villagers' lives.\"
The villagers of Cuo'ang have expressed deep gratitude for the firefighters' efforts. Sharing meals together has fostered a sense of unity and hope as the community begins the process of rebuilding.
As the reconstruction continues, acts of kindness like this highlight the resilience and solidarity of the people in Xizang. The collaborative efforts between rescue teams and residents are paving the way toward recovery.
