As we commemorate the anniversary of the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan province, which is also designated as National Disaster Reduction Day in China, it is timely to reflect on how we can reduce the risk of such devastation in the future.
China's first earthquake museum opened Wednesday in the quake-hit Sichuan province, one day before the third anniversary of the devastating Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 which left more than 80,000 people dead or missing.
A painting show with the aim of helping the Wenchuan earthquake zone kicked off yesterday in the Minshan Hotel in Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan Province.
