Burning embers rise in smoke amid the ru

Burning embers rise in smoke amid the rubble in the deserted and quake-ravaged town of Beichuan, which was closed off for fear of aftershocks and landslides on May 20, 2008 in southwest China's quake-stricken Sichuan province. Despite the military and police roadblock, many local residents were able to hike along different mountain routes to get there. A total of 40,075 people have been confirmed dead across China following last week's earthquake, the government said May 20. AFP PHOTO/Frederic J. Brown (Photo credit should read FREDERIC J.
