“We wanted a way to show God’s love,” said Mr Feng. “We bought a car that we keep in Chengdu, so we can be quick to arrive when there are earthquakes.”

“我们希望有一条途径显示主的爱，”冯光良表示。“我们买了一辆汽车放在成都待命，这样我们在发生地震后能够快速赶来。”

The government has tried to harness such enthusiasm via an official volunteer programme.

政府试图通过官方的志愿者计划来调动救灾热情。

“There were hundreds of people in line when we signed up to volunteer,” said Yang Ya, a 21-year-old who wandered through Shengli with his friends carrying a Chinese flag and a Communist flag. But the young men, who grew up in nearby Fenghuan village, were unsure how they would be able to help.

“我们报名成为志愿者时，有几百人排队，”21岁的杨亚（音译）表示。他和几个朋友举着一面中国国旗和一面中共党旗在胜利村走来走去。但这些在附近的凤凰村长大的年轻男子不太清楚自己能帮上什么忙。

Government rapid- response teams also had a large visible presence. The narrow mountain roads near the disaster zones were crammed with earth diggers, water trucks, ambulances and military convoys. Mobile phone repair crews were also mobilised and service had been restored to much of the area by last night.

政府的快速反应救援团队也随处可见。在靠近灾区的狭窄山路上，挤满了挖土机、水车、救护车和军车车队。移动通信网络的维修人员也投入抢修，截至昨晚，大部分地区的手机服务已经恢复。
