With 4 million citizens forced to the street by more than 500 aftershocks, the night of May 12 in Chengdu was a special one but full of warmth and love。
It was quiet on the streets, no one was yelling or arguing。 Late at that night, the line for blood donations spanned the entire Linyin street in Wuhou district。
Thousands of miles away in Guangzhou, people even needed to use "back doors" to donate their own blood!
"We cannot just wait and rely on help to come。
We need to save ourselves。 Only if we have the roads cleared can the relief supplies reach us。
" said Yuancitou village, one of the most heavily damaged villages in the disaster zone of Gansu。
After the earthquake,the villagers helped each other and set up tents。 Groups of villagers, from the age of 10 to 60, brought their shovels to repair the mountain paths。
