4.22 In Lu Shan county, victims waiting for free food and water.
(Here in most disaster areas, there's not any problem about food or water, the big problem still is traffic jam. More supply cars waiting outside and ambulances spent more time to come out.)

Really too many cars so easy to block the road.

Thanks @cnleio for the excellent pix which have said better than a thousand words.

Even though the "Golden 72 hours" has expired this morning, the efforts of rescues can only be intensifying according to the News as more road blocks by landslides and huge stones are cleared. The post earthquake tremours keep occurring over 2000 times which have made the area highly dangerous to our folks in there. Best of Luck!

R.I.P. , Condolences, Hang-in-There and Thank You to the concerned!

Keep up the good works!
 
Thanks all readers who following and watching this thread about China SiChuan earthquake.
I shared hundreds of rescure pics from China internet, just wanna introduce how Chinese ppl provide aid and helps when facing natural disasters in China, and what kind of Chinese folks life and their living conditions.

"One real pic much better than thousands of word." It will be useful for foreign readers to understand China and Chinese ppls by this thread. Thank you everyone again.


P.S, Ya An city belongs to lvl4 city in China, those Lu Shan and Bao Xin county r lvl5 county/town.
According to local economy and population separated in China,
1. lvl1 city like BeiJing, ShangHai, ShenZhen, ChongQing, XiaMen, HongKong etc they r super big and very rich city in China;

2. lvl2 city like 32x capital cities of 32x provinces like ShenYang, HangZhou, GuangZhou, ChengDu, XiAn, NanJing etc they r big and rich city in China;

3. lvl3 city like hundreds of medium-sized city and over 2million residents like SuZhou, DongGuan, DaLian, KunShan, SanYa etc they r medium and less rich city in China;

4. lvl4 city also hundreds of medium-sized city and less 2million residents like Ya An, QingHuan Dao, HuiZhou many city i can't call their names which r prefecture citys called by China officials. Usually they r new cities or separated from near big city. they r medium and normal in China;

5. lvl5 r thousands of county and town, they r small and as usual as 10,000 - 50,000 ppl. Most of them r lack rich or poor anyway in normal Chinese eyes, less of them r richer than ppl in city and specially rich county and town remain concentrate in East of China, most lack rich county and town in West of China.

So seeing Ya An city and Lu Shan county and Bao Xin county, u have directly understanded how Chinese folks/ppl's life conditions looks like ? Welcome to visit China !

Cheers~!
Leio
