On May 12, 2008, the magnitude-8.0 quake that hit Wenchuan of Sichuan killed more than 69,000 people and left nearly 18,000 missing and millions homeless.

After ten years of hard work, Wenchuan has regained life.

Qingchuan was one of the worst-hit areas when a catastrophic earthquake struck Sichuan's Wenchuan County in 2008. On May 12, 2008, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck Wenchuan, razing almost the whole county to the ground. After ten years of hard work, Wenchuan has regained life. (Xinhua/Xue Yubin)
