Life and work are returning to normal in the quake-hit areas since a 6.8-magnitude earthquake shook Ulugqat county in Xinjiang, on October 5, 2008, causing no casualties but 721 collapsed houses. Over 100 residents in the quake-hit areas were relocated to emergency shelters and another 100 will move into newly-built houses. [Xinhua]
