国内英语新闻:Vice Premier stresses post-quake reconstruction as survivors plan for new life

Business activities gradually went back to normal in the hardest-hit Gyegu Town with grocery stores reopened, and post offices and banks gearing up for reopening in a few days.

Although about to be resettled into a new makeshift house built by the government, Wu Zhiqiang and his Tibetan wife count on themselves to build a new home.

"We can build a house entirely by ourselves, only if the government could provide building materials," said Wu who moved to Yushu from Sichuan Province more than a dacade ago.

"There will be hope as long as we work together," Wu said.

The government announced Saturday plans to repair all the damaged 87 monasteries that would accommodate more than 8,000 monks now living in makeshift tents.

"Such repairs will be one of the priorities in our quake relief and rebuilding efforts this year," said Leshi, chief of the ethnic and religious affairs committee in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu.
