A flag of the Communist Party of China (CPC) is seen on a house of the Qiang ethnic group in Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County on May 17, 2011. A 24-member reporting team headed by China International Publishing Group (CIPG) President Zhou Mingwei is in Sichuan to report the province's rebuilding efforts over the past three years after an 8.0-magnititude earthquake killed at least 69,000 people and caused enormous economic losses in 2008. Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County is among the most severely hit of all disaster regions following the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. About 80 percent of the county's buildings collapsed. The survivors of the quake were relocated as their houses were vulnerable after the earthquake. Under the aid-partnership plan, Shandong Province paired up with Beichuan to help it finish relocation and rebuilding as soon as possible. [Photo: Yang Jia / China.org.cn]
