Summary:The Sichuan earthquake took 90,000 lives and left 5 million people homeless. Beichuan, once a beautiful valley town, was entirely leveled and nearly every family lost a loved one. But the Chinese construction miracle rebuilt a new city in just three years and what began as a journey to overcome loss becomes entangled with dreams of an upgraded life. As the survivors emerge from China's worst natural disaster in decades, they speak for today's Chinese generation thrust into the nation's relentless pursuit of progress and violently uprooted from their past.
