It has been over a week since a magnitude-6.8 earthquake struck Dingri County in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region on January 7. Resettlement and reconstruction efforts are ongoing as communities work to rebuild.
In Cuo'ang Village, Quluo Town, the firefighters of the Xizang Forest Firefighting Special Operations Unit have taken on a new role: preparing lunch for the villagers affected by the quake.
Our reporter, Zhao Chenchen, joined the frontline efforts to witness how these brave individuals are lending a helping hand beyond their usual duties. The smell of freshly cooked food fills the air as firefighters stir large pots, ensuring that every resident receives a warm meal.
\"We want to support the villagers in any way we can,\" said a firefighter, pausing briefly from his tasks. \"Providing meals is just one way we can help them during this difficult time.\"
For the residents of Cuo'ang Village, the presence of the firefighters offers more than just sustenance—it brings comfort and a sense of unity. \"Their support means a lot to us,\" shared one villager. \"It gives us strength to move forward.\"
As resettlement continues, moments like these highlight the community spirit and resilience of those affected by the disaster.
