As I headed to Yancheng, in the eastern province of Jiangsu, to report on the first anniversary of a tornado that changed thousands of villagers' lives, I reviewed the facts.
I knew the death toll had reached 99, and I had read that thousands of locals lost their homes, more than 850 were injured and many others lost their jobs.
I realized these were devastating blows to the community's foundations, but I didn't quite grasp the full depth of the damage the tornado left in its wake.
