Quake-hit Yushu confident of future prosperity after devastation

China's ravaged Yushu County told audience attending a performance Friday at the Shanghai Expo it is confident as it embraces a future of prosperity more than five months after a deadly quake hit the region.
Singers and dancers dressed in colorful ethnic Tibetan costumes staged dynamic and dazzling performances for audience from around the world, with a message that Yushu people are confident in building a better future.
A 7.1-magnitude earthquake on April 14 left nearly 3,000 people dead or missing and more than 120,000 homeless in Yushu of northwest China's Qinghai Province.
The enthusiasm and immense energy, once diminished following the quake, is again shown through by performers from Qinghai's provincial art troupe during the one-hour show.
"I'm indeed happy about the resilience of the Yushu people," said Jiang Fengzhao, a 23-year-old vacationing nurse who has come from eastern Fujian Province to see the Expo.
The singing and dancing activities are to be performed for Expo visitors daily during Qinghai Week (Sept. 16-20) which opened Thursday at the Expo park.
Qinghai Province is where the country's three major rivers originate, the Yangtze, the Yellow, and Lancang. The province also boasts the country's largest salt water lake, the Qinghai Lake, where an annual international cycling race is to be held in July or August.
