Zhou Litang was at a meeting on Friday morning in Yiliang county when the earthquake struck.
"The floor suddenly shook violently and everything was moving. All of us realized an earthquake had hit."
Zhou quickly ran outside and called his wife. After assuring himself his family, who live in the urban area of the county, were OK, he made the decision to drive to the worst hit area and repair the road so rescuers could get through.
