Gao Yunzhen helps her daughter wash her hair in Gucheng village of Lushan county in Southwest China's Sichuan province, April 24, 2013. A 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit the county on April 20 and has killed 196 people, with 21 missing and 11,470 injured. Gao asked a journalist to take a photo of her and her daughter in front of their damaged houses as a memorial of their old house. Gao said she and her husband spent all their savings to build one house in 1997 and the other in 2006, but one was destroyed in the quake. The family is repairing the less-damaged house to live in before saving enough money to build a new one. [Photo/Xinhua]
