Dujiangyan city was the must place from Chengdu to Wenchuan, about 100km to Wenchuan County and 21km to Yingxiu Town, the epicenter.
The mega disaster earthquake brought deadly attack to Dujiangyan City as it’s close to the epicenter. With vivid life deceased and houses collapsed into ruins one after another, the death number was 3075 with 10560 injured, 512 lost and 580,000 affected in the City according to incomplete statistics. More than half houses became dangerous and half of the remaining houses demanded reinforcement. Over 200,000 people became homeless so that they had only to live in tents as temporarily established and lead their life upon the relief of the government. 
When the earthquake occurred, Xu Jingren was surveying the business development conditions at Chongqing. In 2001 as summoned by the central party to develop west China, he invested 300 million Yuan to establish a wholly-owned factory---Sichuan Hairong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (initially known as Sichuan Haidi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd and then changed to the current name, noted by the editor) at Dujiangyan. Now, how could he not feel worried of the safety of the company’s over 130 employees and the local people? When he was known that there was no death and injury of the company’s employees, he promptly directed Xu Lian, Executive Deputy General Manager of Hairong Pharmaceutical Company who was also in the survey, "to return to Dujiangyan immediately and organize people to participate in the rescue if permitted." With rich experience, Xu Jingren knew that aftershock would occur every now and then afterwards. The food and water would be in great shortage. He told Xue Li’an to organize the factory’s employees to evacuate outside as soon as possible after his return to the disaster-affected area. As to those Sichuan employees and their family members, efforts shall be made to remove to Taizhou, Jiangsu Province where the general company was located so as to guarantee their safety on the one hand; on the other hand, to relieve the government’s burden.
Xue Li’an didn’t let President Xu Jingren down. With others removing out of the disaster-affected area, he was driving to the disaster center under unceasing aftershocks to work together with the army soldiers, firefighters and police officers, public security officers and medical rescuers; moreover, he never left his own post when he was in the center. It was his efficient work that enabled YRPG and Hairong Pharmaceutical Company to be engaged in the earthquake resistance and disaster relief rapidly at Dujiangyan, as one of the most right-hand strengths in the earthquake resistance and disaster relief. 
When Xue Li’an was returning to Dujiangyan, employees of Hairong Pharmaceutical Company were also carrying out active self-rescue. Liu Yong, a 30 veteran, the director of the Economic Safeguard Team, rushed into the building at the risk of his life to evacuate people one by one upon the occurrence of the earthquake. After he gathered and checked people, he led his team members and laboratory principals to the chemical reagent warehouse to open windows from the first floor to the fourth floor without any anti-chemical tools in the aftershocks to release vitriol and avoid explosion. Other mid-level cadres of Hairong Pharmaceutical Company allowed employees to take shelter from the rain in their car; instead, they were standing under beach umbrella that had lost the function of keeping off the rain so as to encourage each other with employees and wait for the ending of aftershocks.
It was so dark and the rain was so rapid. The night of May 12 was that long and miserable. Xue Li’an finally returned to Dujiangyan at midnight and returned to his familiar factory. After checking the employee quantity, he appointed people to Chengdu, 60km long away to purchase and stock food; on the other hand, he hurried to the urban city by bicycle with an employee to get an understanding of the disaster situation in the urban city. When he returned to the factory again at 3am, a principal from the municipal finance bureau was waiting for him in dark with a medical rescue team and told him the municipal government had established a control headquarter for earthquake resistance and disaster relief with eight teams and one office, in which, the material protection team and the allocation center for disaster relief materials were established within the factory of Hairong Pharmaceutical Company. Materials as donated nationwide would be registered, deposited and distributed here in a unified manner with materials for over 10 disaster relief points of the city to be withdrawn here.
