More than a week has passed since a magnitude-6.8 earthquake struck Dingri County in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region on January 7. The resettlement and reconstruction efforts are ongoing, with communities coming together to support one another.
In Cuo'ang Village, Quluo Town, Dingri County, the Xizang Forest Firefighting Special Operations Unit is providing more than just emergency services. They are sharing meals and comfort with the villagers, offering a sense of normalcy amid the upheaval.
On the frontline, our reporter, Zhao Chenchen, witnessed the firefighters preparing lunch for the affected residents. The aroma of home-cooked food filled the air, bringing smiles to faces that have endured hardship.
\"It's not just about fighting fires or rescuing people,\" said one of the firefighters. \"We are here to support the community in any way we can.\"
The firefighters' efforts exemplify the solidarity and compassion seen throughout the region. As reconstruction progresses, such gestures play a crucial role in healing and rebuilding the spirit of the community.
The people of Xizang continue to show resilience in the face of adversity, and with the support of dedicated individuals like the firefighters, they are on the path to recovery.
