Hope Weiner in Ruichang city

Wei an Ying, 56, was just beginning to recover from disastrous floods that in September 2005 accompanied a typhoon that robbed him of his autumn cotton crops and damaged his house.

But on Saturday, 26 November, a magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck his village of Xi Xin Qiao, near the city of Ruichang. The earthquake destroyed all that remained of his home. The quake wrecked 150,000 other homes and forced 600,000 people to evacuate.
