China 34: Nature morte, Qingcheng, Sichuan
15 February 2009
Though in Beijing, I’m currently out of luck with access to a decent computer to edit and upload a few new shots. So in the meantime, here are a few images which I had uploaded awhile ago that yet never got their own blog primetime (though probably should have).
A small market in Qingcheng, in the outskirts of Chendu, Sichuan. The quake (the capital E May 12th 2008 Earthquake) devasted quite of bit of the local housing, ruins like the field of debris lying behind the truck were easily spotted here and there throughout the village. More disturbingly so, we were told that anything further north in Sichuan was severly hit.
On a more enthousiastic note, it is remarquable to see and witness the overwhelming support that other provinces, organisations and chinese people throughout China have been giving in aid to the Sichuanese. Even now, 10 months after the event, I am still constantly reading newspaper articles on the healing (from infrastructures, housing to personal grief) of the disaster.
