Three weeks after a magnitude-6.8 earthquake shook Dingri County in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region—near the iconic Mount Qomolangma—communities are slowly piecing their lives back together. Amid Lunar New Year celebrations, resilience shines as reconstruction efforts accelerate.
CGTN reporter Yang Jinghao visited one of the hardest-hit villages, where shattered roads and damaged homes stand alongside freshly hung red lanterns . Locals, determined to rebuild, share stories of hope. \"We’re grateful for the support,\" said one resident, pointing to newly delivered supplies and temporary shelters.
Government teams and volunteers are working round the clock to restore infrastructure, while families honor traditions with makeshift feasts. The festive spirit, paired with progress, offers a poignant reminder of unity in adversity.
