Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao asked local governments to accelerate the
reconstruction of housing in southwest China's quake-stricken Yunnan
Province when he paid a visit to the disaster-affected residents on
Tuesday.
PU'ER, Yunnan Province, June 7 - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao asked local
governments to accelerate the reconstruction of housing in southwest
China's quake-stricken Yunnan Province when he paid a visit to the
disaster-affected residents on Tuesday.
At least 180,000 people were displaced from their homes in the Ning'er
county of Pu'er city in Yunnan, where an earthquake measuring 6.4 on the
Richter Scale killed three and affected one million residents early on
Sunday.
Walking among the broken walls, Wen visited a tent which is now home to a
family of a local villager Xu Guangrong.
Xu told the Premier that the local government had delivered
disaster-relief materials to his family such as water, rice, quilts and
candles.
The Xinping primary school was heavily damaged in the earthquake and the
teachers have erected tents to serve as makeshift classrooms.
"The earthquake has destroyed our houses, it, however, will not destroy
our willpower," Wen said to the students when he visited one of the
tents. He encouraged them to be courageous and study hard in order to
"build a more beautiful homeland".
Wen spent more than an hour visiting rows of tents which are serving as
temporary housing.
Wen said the government would speed up damage assessment, building
planning and reconstruction of housing so residents can return home as
soon as possible.
"We must achieve this goal and we are able to achieve it," Wen said.
The core of the disaster relief is the reconstruction of houses,Wen said,
adding that the government must get all the quake-affected residents back
into houses before the Spring Festival which falls in February next year.
Official statistics show one million residents in 224,000 households were
affected in the quake in Pu'er City. About 360,000 houses were damaged,
of which 90,000 collapsed and 120,000 were seriously damaged.
Wen also asked local authorities to restore infrastructure including
water, electricity and communications as soon as possible and to
guarantee the smooth running of the national college entrance exam that
kicks off Thursday.
