Farmer Xu Shifu (L/in red) works his field of wheat and vegetables with water coming from a tributary of Dujiangyan's ancient irrigation system on the Min River outside the provincial capital of Chengdu on May 21, 2008 in southwest China's quake-stricken Sichuan province. Dujiangyan's irrigation infrastructure was built in 256 B.C during the Warring States Period and is still in use today, irrigating over 5,300 square kilometers of land in the region, having sustained only minor quake damage while several modern dams are under safety watch following the massive May 12 8.0 magnitude earthquake.
