Tangshan Earthquake Photos
30 years on, photos of Tangshan Earthquake, which killed 240,000 people (if you believe the CCP), are still treated as de facto state secret. Hong Kong Ming Pao newspaper publishes today five rare black and white earthquake pictures taken by Li Yaodong, then a Tangshan-based photo-journalist. The images are reportedly restricted to internal use in mainland China.
Aerial photo: Ruins and tents.
Eight days after the earthquake, the People's Liberation Army (Northeast Region) arrived in the Tangshan area but the city was 3 km away. Military trucks were blocked by the damaged roads. The army rushed to the city with their spades.
Earthquake orphans on a train: the city government gave them new clothes and apples; they gave the photographer a big smile.
Where time stopped.
A man was recovered alive from the debris "many days" after the quake.
