China Exclusive: As temperatures drop, Zhouqu mudslide survivors dread approaching winter | NewsyStocks.com
ZHOUQU, Gansu, Oct.2 (Xinhua) -- Almost two months after a massive mudslide slammed this isolated, altitudinal county in northwest China, many of its survivors still live in tents. Now, as winter draws near, they wonder how they will withstand the new season's freezing temperatures.
"I have no idea how we will survive this winter. The tent is getting colder, especially at night," survivor Li Qingxiang told a reporter who recently visited her tent.
The mudslide wrecked Li's life, razing both her home and the restaurant she ran.
Temperatures in Zhouqu during winter plunge to 20 degrees Celsius below zero.
