DUJIANGYAN, Sichuan: All 6-year-old Xinrui wanted for Children's Day was to live in a house with her parents and grandmother.
Her wish came true four days later, when the family was given the key to a 20-sq-m room in Qinjianrenjia, a major shelter area for more than 6,000 earthquake victims in Dujiangyan.
Qinjianrenjia contains up to 200 mobile homes and can house up to 14,000 people. In addition to necessary facilities, such as a pharmacy, dinning hall and shower rooms, it features a career center, library and schools, making it more like a village.
