In Dujiangyan, I met a group of migrant construction workers taking a lunch break. They have been working in the earthquake zone for a month now, working to clear out the thousands of tons of rubble the earthquake left behind. This man told me he would return to his home province Shaanxi in August, in time to help his family with the harvest.


Lydia Wallace was interning at Danwei when the Sichuan earthquake struck. She is now working for a disaster relief organization in Sichuan and will be publishing stories and photographs about the people she meets. She is also blogging at www.fiferis.com.
