The death toll from last week's earthquake in Yushu, Qinghai Province, has reached 2039, and thousands more were injured.

HELP YUSHU RECOVER

Scenes that we long to see : Tibetan folk dancing in front of a school building won't be possible for quite some time due to the April 14 earthquake (this photo from a neighboring county).
