"It's really pitiful, you can't even recognize who it is," the landlady said, her sadness coming in waves.
Looking out at the desolate ground, Suxin could not help but feel a wave of sadness deep in her heart.
After finishing her instant noodles, Suxin left the area around the train station. As she stepped out, she only then realized that the situation was far more severe than she had imagined: a vast expanse of broken tiles and ruins stood before her. Only a few newly constructed buildings with solid foundations still stood erect, but even these were not exempt from cracks. Temporary shelters were everywhere on the streets and in open spaces, along with the constant passing of emergency ambulances and military vehicles.
A week had passed since the earthquake, and Suxin couldn't help feeling sorrow in her heart.
As she walked, she felt extremely thirsty, but despite searching every visible store, she couldn't find any bottled water.
