In many areas devastated by the quake, life is starting to get back to normal,and people are showing kindness by helping each other.

It's early morning at Lixian County, people are selling farm products on the streets.

An Zhu's vegetables are saved from the farmland, but her houses are collapsed. She told us she will continue her farm work in the near future.

An Zhu, farmer of Lixian county, Aba Prefecture, said, "Life will gradually get better, but we have to rely on the government's help. "

Xiong Xiaoni is a cake baker, as electricity was cut by the quake, she has to sell all the eggs. She says she gave some of the eggs to the soldiers, and is trying to sell the remaining ones with lower prices to the villagers.

Xiong Xiaoni, business owner of Lixian County, Aba Prefecture, said, "Everyone has difficulties now, I should do what I can to help others."

Jiang Xiande has also done the same. The price of his products keeps the same as before. He says people should help each other and life will return to normal.

This villager says life is starting to return, she bought some vegetables, but says she wants to eat pork. As the electricity not resumed, it's difficult to cook. She has to rely on vegetables for the time being.

Lixian County is not worst hit in Sichuan, but the disaster has changed peoples' livelihood. No travelers are coming, business has been halted, and people need to rely on themselves.
