In this photo taken on April 6, 2009, a clock lies cradled by rubble, frozen at 2:28, the time of the May 12, 2008 earthquake in  Beichuan, China. A year after the worst quake to hit China in three decades, the town of Beichuan remains locked in, sealed off by guards and a chain-link fence ringed with barbed wire, the moment when an earthquake ripped through this region and destroyed the town remains perfectly preserved. Beichuan was left so shattered by the 7.9-magnitude temblor in Sichuan province on May 12th 2008, that the government has decided to abandon it and rebuild it elsewhere.

Living rooms where families used to gather are now buried in layers of dust and mud.

In this photo taken on April 5, 2009, Zhou Lekang 43, holds a picture of his son Zhou Jingbo who was 16 when he was killed after his middle school collapsed in the May 12, 2008 earthquake in  Dujiangyan, China. The death of so many children has touched a nerve nationwide, raising questions about official corruption, mismanagement, government responsibility — the underside of fast-paced economic growth. The political sensitivity of the issue has spawned many instances of government attempts to intimidate the parents and activists fighting to get the truth out.  (AP Photo/ Elizabeth Dalziel)AP - Two things still haunt Wang Bin a year after an earthquake decimated his village: the death of his teenage son and a purchase he made more than a decade earlier.
