In earthquake-hit Jiang Yan, the spirit of the people and their passion to move ahead in life exemplified the perfect example of the four themes of adaptive leadership, diversity, futures and networks.
When I visited the quake-hit family in Du Jiang Yan, I was stunned looking at the enthusiasm and passion of an elderly couple who had lost their little daughter in the May 12 earthquake. Their optimism about life and positive attitude towards the future of their children reflected China’s role as great emerging future of the country.
People from different color and caste live together in temporary houses, showcasing diversity among them. At a time of worst situation, they (victims of earthquake) started their businesses within the colony to make things available for other victims who had to otherwise go to the far away city to buy stuff. And today the colony looks like hundred-year old given the way people have adapted themselves to a new set up and the connection between the young and old to re-settlement reflects their networking skills.
