...Sichuan schools collapsed in the catastrophic earthquake last year, Tan decided to compile a list of those students who had died. I recruited volunteers for a similar project. When you see so many lives vanish, you have to ask why. And when the system refuses to provide an answer, you have to use your own means to uncover it.
