A solemn memorial service brought communities together in China’s Xizang Autonomous Region this week, honoring those lost in last week’s devastating magnitude-6.8 earthquake. Hundreds gathered in Chamco Township—the epicenter of the disaster—to observe three minutes of silence, their heads bowed in unity.
Rescue workers, local residents, and officials stood side by side, reflecting on the tragedy that shook Dingri County. The ceremony, held at 9:30 a.m. Monday, highlighted both the grief and resilience of the region. “We stand with Xizang,” one attendee shared anonymously, echoing the collective sentiment.
While recovery efforts continue, the memorial underscored the power of community in overcoming disaster. No speeches were made, but the silence spoke volumes—a tribute to lives lost and a promise to rebuild stronger.
