His body lies under a sheet on a sidewalk in Dujiangyan, a city of 600,000 that was badly damaged by the May 12 earthquake that devastated parts of Sichuan province and reverberated across China.

...give in to his plea “Let’s make love”—but only for a second. Unsurprisingly, she vanishes again, leaving Usher aroused and, frankly, down-right confused. He walks out of the club in search of her or perhaps the wallet that she surely pick-pocketed. At this point we find out that the club doesn’t actually exist.
