He is now camped out with his family in a parking lot near a museum dedicated to the Tang dynasty poet Li Bai, who lived in the area. A family sits outside a tent nearby, the grandmother's eyes and legs badly bruised from when a house collapsed on her. Conditions in the camp are decent, Jia says, but he wonders how long he will stay. "We don't know how long we'll be here," he says, as a worker walks through with...
