Sichuan earthquake killed more than 100,000, and displaced millions. But the spirit of the people had helped the survivors deal with the sadness, grief, loss of property, bodily injury. They moved to temporary shelter, and will remain there for 3 years while they rebuilt the complete loss of the towns they had used to live in. This book project documents the aftermath of the people, and will show their determination and courage to deal with the struggles and challenges ahead of them
