On the first anniversary of the Wenchuan earthquake, Beichuan, the only Qiang ethnic group settlement in our country, was reduced to ruins. Now reconstruction has begun at a new site for Beichuan. General Secretary Hu Jintao personally selected the location for the new county seat, naming it "Yongchang Town". At 14:28 on May 12th, the time when last year's great earthquake occurred, groundbreaking ceremonies were held at the new site for Beichuan Middle School, ushering in the prelude to construction at Beichuan's new site.
