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 still underway, as communities strive to rebuild their lives.
In the heart of Cuo'ang Village, Quluo Town, a team of dedicated firefighters from the Xizang Forest Firefighting Special Operations Unit are making a heartfelt difference. Our reporter, Zhao Chenchen, joined them on the frontline as they rolled up their sleeves to prepare lunch for the villagers affected by the quake.
The firefighters, accustomed to battling flames, have turned their focus to nurturing the community. With limited resources and unwavering spirit, they are cooking meals to ensure no one goes hungry during these challenging times.
Villagers gathered around as the aroma of warm food filled the air, bringing a sense of comfort amid uncertainty. The collaborative effort not only provided nourishment but also lifted the morale of those who have lost much.
\\"Seeing the smiles on their faces makes it all worthwhile,\\" one firefighter shared. \\"We are here to help in any way we can.\\"
The act of kindness by the firefighters exemplifies the solidarity and resilience of the people in Xizang. As recovery continues, such community support plays a crucial role in healing and rebuilding.
