On July 3, a 6.5-magnitude earthquake occurred in Pishan County, Xinjiang, and nearly 900 aftershocks occurred. In this earthquake, Anju Fumin’s houses withstood the test and provided a protective umbrella for the lives of local villagers.

On the morning of the 6th, the reporter saw in Wukashi Village, Pisina Township, Pishan County, which was more seriously affected, that the earthquake-resistant housing built in the village had obvious seismic effects during the earthquake. None of the houses collapsed, and some houses only appeared. It's just a crack.

 
 
It is understood that in this earthquake, the 27,000 renovated houses in Pishan County were safe and sound, minimizing the possible losses caused by the earthquake.

Ahmati Maimat, deputy director of the Anjufu Private Office of Pishan County and deputy director of the Construction Bureau, said that after preliminary investigations, the main body of 27,000 houses in Pishan County was not affected by the earthquake, and no casualties were caused.

The 73-year-old Zinar Shawuti has lived in the village for more than 30 years. The reporter saw in her home that the earthquake-resistant housing she lived in was not affected by the earthquake in any way, but the civil bricks where her son and daughter-in-law lived The mixed structure room collapsed in the earthquake, fortunately no one was injured.

Zinal Shawuti said that this time his son also truly felt the benefits of earthquake-resistant housing, and hoped that with the help of the government, they could live in a new house as soon as possible.

The reporter saw in the home of Tila Khan Maitireyimu, a villager in Pisina Village, Pisina Township, that the wealthy and peaceful houses built by her family in 2011 were intact.

Tila Khan Maiti Reyim said that the earthquake was due to the earthquake-resistant housing. Many old houses in the surrounding neighbors had collapsed, and there were many civil-timbered houses with cracks. Experts have come over after the earthquake. Said that these houses will no longer be usable.

He said that the government subsidized 28,500 yuan for the earthquake-resistant housing of his family. When the earthquake-resistant housing was built, it was a pity that he still thought about demolishing the old house. Now it seems that these seismic housing is their "protective umbrella". I believe that after this earthquake, more villagers will choose to build earthquake-resistant housing.

The reporter found in Old Bazaar, Pishan County, which was severely affected, that a row of old houses had collapsed in succession. Fortunately, the villagers had long moved into rich houses, and the old houses were only used for storage or livestock keeping. Turemati Helili, a resident of Old Bazaar Street, said that these houses are now empty. If there are people, people would have disappeared from such a big earthquake.

Earthquake-resistant housing, also known as Anju Fumin Housing, is an official livelihood project aimed at improving the living conditions of Xinjiang people and ensuring the safety of people’s lives and property.

Maimatyiming Dawuti, head of the working group in the village of Wukashi Village, Pishan County, Xinjiang, said that many villagers have seen the benefits of earthquake-resistant housing and will provide them as soon as possible in the future reconstruction work. Rebuild a new house with earthquake-resistant housing standards and arrange their lives.

Wei Xiaoli, deputy director of the Xinjiang Earthquake Administration, introduced at the Pishan County earthquake press conference on the evening of the 5th that the magnitude of the earthquake was large and the focal point was shallow. According to the requirements of seismic fortification, the damage of this earthquake conforms to the basic principle of "no collapse in major earthquakes, repairable in moderate earthquakes, and no damage to small earthquakes".

The epicenter of the Pishan M6.5 earthquake is only 6 kilometers away from the county seat and the focal depth is 10 kilometers. Its destructive power can be imagined. However, the affordable housing built by the government was able to "strong" in the earthquake without any trace of damage. Let the public's psychology be comforted and become the "protective umbrella" in everyone's mind.
