Picture Discussion


This photograph depicts a scene after an earthquake. From the look of the damages which the infrastructures are subjected to, i can infer that the earthquake must have been a severe one and there must be many casualties.
Many soldiers are present at the scene and it seems that they each have their own respective tasks to accomplish. Some are searching for survivors from the earthquake while some seems to be carrying a young boy away from the site. The young boy looks dishevelled and weak, he is most probably one of the victims of the earthquake that has been just rescued out from the collapsed buildings. The child seems to be saluting to the soldiers to show his appreciation, i hope the child could reunite with his parents soon .
The people in the picture are all of chinese race, therefore i can conclude that the earthquake took place in somewhere of China. At the back of the photograph, some soldiers are still continuing their search for survivors. The soldiers seem very diligent and cooperative when carrying out their tasks. At the right side of the background, smoke is emerging from behind the hill, i guess the earthquake could have triggered off a fire perhaps due to broken gas pipes. I think, in the next few minutes, some of the soldiers would hurry to the area where the fire is and extinguish it , the young boy would be sent to the shelters where volunteers would attend to him and maybe the soldiers would also discover another survivor under the collapsed building.
The earthquake must have also caused a lot of damage to some other areas and the rebuilding would be a tedious one. I hope the people could live through this crisis and return back to their normal life soon.
