MIANYANG, Sichuan: A 12- course feast was what Li Jiqin prepared yesterday to celebrate his family's move back home after the Tangjiashan quake lake threat was eliminated on Wednesday.
His house is situated about 100 m to the west of the Fujiang River that runs through Mianyang. Li and his fellow villagers were moved to temporary shelters on hillsides on May 30.
In Mianyang, about 250,000 people like the Li family were evacuated to higher ground.
