19-year-old Zhou Galian, a native of Meipo Village, suffered a minor foot injury in the 6.2-magnitude earthquake in Jishishan County at 23:59 on December 18, and has almost recovered in the past two days. "The earthquake happened so suddenly that I ran barefoot into the yard, so I was injured. The other 6 people in our family were fine except me. Zhou Galian said that the earthquake caused her family's house to collapse, and it has become a dilapidated house that cannot be inhabited. "Thanks to the tents issued by the government, we don't have to freeze in the winter. ”

On the afternoon of December 22, in the newly assigned prefabricated room, Zhou Galian was sorting out daily necessities. "It's safer than a tent and you don't have to worry about snow. In addition, she brought the food she had just received at the resettlement site to her makeshift home. "I really want to thank these caring people and units, after the earthquake, not only provided us with food, drink, clothing, and use, but also helped us build a prefabricated house. ”

According to Wang Hongxing, secretary of the Party branch of the 21st Bureau of China Railway, in the past two days, they have built three prefabricated house resettlement sites in Meipo Village.

Our first batch of 150 prefabricated houses is expected to be completed this evening, and will be connected to electricity and internet to ensure the normal life of the villagers. Wang Hongxing said that their first batch of 300 prefabricated houses is about to be completed, and they plan to build another 1,400 in the later stage.

Since the earthquake, especially in the cold winter weather, the minimum temperature in Jishishan County has been below minus 10 degrees Celsius every day, so in addition to ensuring housing, heating in temporary prefabricated houses is also very important. To this end, when the construction of prefabricated houses, all aid units will prepare corresponding heating facilities inside. Taking the prefabricated house built by the 21st Bureau of China Railway in Meipo Village as an example, in addition to placing beds, each prefabricated house will also be equipped with a heating stove.
