Xiong Jianhua said, "We left on the night of May 12 for Wenchuan. We encountered a major mountain slide in Zipingpu Township. We couldn’t move at all. We were trapped there for a week. But we finally got the materials to the epicenter."

The expressway to Dujiangyan is now the life-line of the quake-hit city.

All relief materials must be registered and checked at the city's disaster relief command.

A staff member takes Xiong to Reception.

Officials here recheck the list and issue a receipt for the trucker.

Relief Command sends the materials where they're needed most.

Zhou Guang from Dujiangyan Gov't said, "10 minutes have passed since the truck entered here. We have decided to dispatch materials to Zipingpu Township immediately."

The town is deep inside mountains, right next to a major provincial dam.

Zipingpu is only beginning to recover.

People in the town are ready to unload.

The paper trail of accounting is followed here, too.

People come as soon as the local government announces supplies have arrived.

Queues are orderly, since everyone knows they'll get their share.

Liu Wei, deputy chief of Zipingpu township, said, "Receiving and distributing relief materials is very well-organized now. We collect needs from all villages a day ahead and report them to the Municipal Command. After we get what we want here, we distribute it to every household and require them to sign every time."
