After the earthquake in Jishishan, Gansu, "all the hardships come with joy, and there is unlimited vitality," delegates said. "A violent shaking shook me out of my sleep," Ma Xiuying recalled.

More than 600 medical staff from the hospital were on duty half an hour after the earthquake and began to provide treatment. The earthquake damaged the houses of approximately 148,000 households in Linxia Prefecture and Haidong City, Qinghai Province. The repair and reinforcement project of damaged houses will be completed by the end of July.
