Villagers come together to rebuild lives

By Luo Wangshu | China Daily | Updated: 2017-06-23 09:40

A year ago, a small county in East China was devastated by a tornado that destroyed lives and homes. Now, the local people are determined to forge a new future, as Luo Wangshu reports from Yancheng, Jiangsu province.

When a tornado struck Li Yuhong's kindergarten, the school head had no time to be scared.

"It all happened too quickly, in the blink of an eye. The children had just woken from their early afternoon naps, and the older children were using their coloring books, when, all of the sudden, the weather changed. In just a few moments, dark clouds spread across the sky as if it were night. The children and I had never seen such a thing before. They cried because they were scared," Li recalled, speaking almost a year after the disaster.
