Displaced resident Yang Rong picks through her former house for her belongings in Xuanping township, Beichuan county, Sichuan Province. The township had been submerged following the 8.0-magnitude 2008 Sichuan earthquake, which created a barrier lake. After the recent torrential rains that swept the region, an exit channel was created for the lake, which drained and revealed the homes. Photo: CFP
