The Sichuan Earthquake is the second most deadliest earthquake to hit China, claiming approximately 69,180 lives and injuring well over 300,000 in 2008. The social consequences, however, of this earthquake are unique because it highlighted shoddy construction of buildings in rural areas, which sustained the brunt of the damage. International artist Ai WeiWei provoked a large scale outcry by exposing a cover-up to diminish the total deaths of school age children. With his efforts and those of others, the society is moving towards making the government accountable for better building standards and honesty in public discourse.
