...Dujiangyan, where buildings are now just heaps of brick and concrete and corpses lie on the sidewalk, the rescue operation resembles an army assault. Military vehicles, ambulances and mobile kitchens are everywhere. Soldiers search for survivors in the debris and step in to control emotional crowds of victims' relatives.

But the farmers have lately trickled back to tend crops of poppy and wheat - the wheat will feed their families, the opium will provide their income for the year. Shervington stops his patrol of British paratroopers to ask whether the farmers will stay on after the harvest...
