Villagers see bright side of quake

BEICHUAN, Sichuan: When Zhou Baohua, a migrant worker in Shanghai, left for her village in Sichuan a month ago she was worried about where she would stay. The 51-year-old's house was razed to the ground in the May 12 earthquake.

But when she reached Maoershi, her village, Zhou was pleasantly surprised.

She was taken to Leigu town in Beichuan county, three hours' drive from the provincial capital of Chengdu, where a two-story building - her new home - awaited her.
