In memory of Sichuan quake victims

The word "Sichuan" conjures up images of giant pandas and fiery hotpot for many foreigners.

Unfortunately, Southwest China's Sichuan province has also been in the news for a third reason - seismic activity.

A 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck the province in May 2008, killing nearly 70,000 people and injuring thousands of others. The deadliest in the country in decades, it left millions homeless. The aftershocks were felt for months in the province and nearby areas.
