On the afternoon of 19th, more than ten hours have passed since the Jishishan earthquake of magnitude 6.2 in Gansu. In front of a row of dumped houses in Zhaizi Village, guan ting zhen, Haidong City, Qinghai Province, women and children warmed up and chatted around charcoal fire. Not far away, several men set up tents, some carried stoves from home, and some moved bedding and other warm items …
It is night, and this is their "safe haven".

At 23: 59 on the 18th, an earthquake of magnitude 6.2 occurred in Jishishan County, Linxia Prefecture, Gansu Province. There are 22 towns and villages in Qinghai Province within 50 kilometers of the epicentre of this earthquake. The nearest towns and villages are Daofu Tibetan Township, guan ting zhen, Baizhuang Town and Zhongchuan Township.
"My wife and I were already asleep during the earthquake. After being awakened by the loud sound of the collapse of the house, my wife and I climbed out of the window of the house. Fortunately, neither of us was injured." Du Youwen is 60 years old. When the earthquake struck, almost all the houses in his home collapsed except one room where he slept.

The Du family has lived in Zhaizi Village for generations, and there are currently 11 "Du families" living together. "This land was left by my grandfather’s grandfather. I have never experienced such a big earthquake. I was really scared at the time." Du Youwen seems to have calmed down a lot.
The reporter saw in Du Youwen’s home that the wall in the newly built house fell off in a large area, and the color TV and dining table were destroyed.
"After the earthquake, my son who was working in a foreign country called to ask about the situation, but at that time, my wife and I just ran out, and the mobile phone was still in the room. After I got the phone call back, my son and daughter-in-law cried on the other end of the phone." Du Youwen couldn’t help blushing.
"After the earthquake last night, 50 or 60 people in our family took bedding and firewood from home and ran to the mountain behind the village to take refuge." Du Fifty-six, a villager who also experienced the "night of fright", said, "It was very cold on the mountain at night, but at least we were lucky enough to get our lives, and this coldness was nothing."
Du Meiying, who talked about her new house in front of the charcoal fire, was the lucky one in this earthquake. "My house was newly built this summer, and it was built with the help of the government. It is very strong, and this earthquake has hardly been affected." Du Meiying said, "Although some houses in our village collapsed, everyone is fine. This is the best thing."
With the concerted efforts of Qi Xin, a simple and warm tent was quickly set up. "When the house collapses, it can be built again. It is the happiest thing for everyone to be together. No matter what kind of disaster we experience, we must live well! " Du Meiying, who survived the robbery, felt that there was nothing more important than living. (End)
