Like many in the poor, mountainous region, Chen and her husband had been working in more economically vibrant eastern China. Hearing news of the quake at the textile plant where they worked in Zhejiang province, Chen said her husband wept with worry. Authorities intercepted organized attempts by groups of parents to visit higher authorities in Beijing, preventing them from even leaving Sichuan, Chen said. Chen said parents were still discussing whether to mark the date on Saturday with some sort of ceremony. As with Chen Ling's parents, Guo said he was given no compensation from the government and no one took responsibility for the school's construction defects.
