Chinese village faces earthquake aftermath - 15 May 2008

More than 80 million people live in the Sichuan region, and Al Jazeera's correspondent in China, Tony Cheng, says it feels as if everyone is out on high alert, that the rhythms of normal, everyday life have stopped.

People are evacuating from danger zones and homes just about everywhere are gone.

The presence of rescue workers, tens of thousands of soldiers, the wail of ambulances go on and on.

Cheng takes the viewer on a ride, following emergency teams up into the mountains, where one of the most remote villages is reached.
