1428

At 14:28 on May 12, 2008, the Great Sichuan Earthquake struck.

On the 10th day after the earthquake, devastation was everywhere, and people were stranded.

On the 210th day after the earthquake, as the year ended, villages were being cleaned up and tents for refugees were being set up to welcome the visit of officials from the central government (apparently the promise that everyone would be in new housing estates before winter had not been fully fulfilled).
