The sun shines over Cuo'ang Village in Quluo Town, Dingri County, as the aroma of freshly cooked food fills the air. It's been over a week since a magnitude-6.8 earthquake shook southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region on January 7, leaving many villagers displaced and in need of assistance.
Amidst the ongoing resettlement and reconstruction efforts, the firefighters of the Xizang Forest Firefighting Special Operations Unit have become more than just emergency responders—they have become community caretakers.
On this day, our reporter, Zhao Chenchen, witnesses the firefighters rolling up their sleeves, not to battle flames, but to prepare a hearty meal for the quake-affected residents. Tables are set up outdoors, pots and pans clatter, and the laughter of firefighters mixes with the sizzle of cooking. For the villagers of Cuo'ang, this gesture is more than just a meal; it's a symbol of solidarity and hope.
While challenges remain, the spirit of cooperation in Dingri County serves as an inspiring example of how adversity can bring people together. The firefighters' commitment goes beyond their duties, embodying a dedication to service that resonates throughout Xizang Autonomous Region.
