Beichuan, Sichuan Province, China, May 12, 2009--One year ago today, a massive earthquake struck southwest China, killing nearly 90,000 and leaving five million homeless. (See quake photos from 2008.)
A year after the magnitude 8.0 quake, some wounds have begun to heal: Homes have been built or rebuilt, lives reconstructed, bridges patched together or built better than new. But much of the Sichuan Province still lies in shambles (such as Beichuan's piles of rubble, shown above).

Here in Malaysia, we are very lucky not to have this titanic-magnitude catastrophic on us. Let us all offer a silent prayers for them.
