"Donations and volunteers came flooding in immediately after the earthquake," says Shihkang mayor Hsieh Chen-ying, "but we all knew that it wouldn't last for long. The task of rebuilding is the hard part. It's going to take a long time."
「地震剛發生時，外界的援助可說是源源不絕，但大家都知道，這些援助只是一時的，如何重建則是漫長、困難的」，石岡鄉長謝震穎說。
