   “Xiao Fuhua, 33, whose wife and three children are in Liangshan, in southern Sichuan Province, said he has been unable to reach his family.[…] It's said that the earthquake in Liangshan is not very big, but I'm still worried because my family lives in a mountainous area. And once an earthquake strikes Langshan^([sic – meaning Liangshan]) it will be very terrible."”

   “Every two weeks, when the students, ages 6 to 15, return from boarding school, they climb a chain of 17 bamboo ladders, secured to a sheer cliff face and leading some 2,625 feet up, according to reports. Locals say the ladders — which lead through treacherous terrain in the Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture in Sichuan province — have been there nearly as long as the village.”

   “Two people were missing after the landslide in mountainous Sichuan province's Liangshan, while one person was pulled out alive, the government said in a statement on its official microblog.”
