it's incredibly unreal to see that these people are not complaining, and are just focusing on the relief effort. With 1.3 billion people like this, able to grind out the toughest and most grim situations, no wonder they will be the next super power. Can you even find 1.3 billion people like this anywhere outside of that country?
Imagine how the people of California will be acting after the "BIG" one hits. As in New Orleans, they will all blame the government and expect the rest of us to pay the price. Of course, the people of New Orleans WERE warned, and ignored the warnings.....we will all continue to pay the price for many years to come.
After all the bad attention China has been getting recently, I am so proud to watch as they band together to help others. China should be an example to the Myanmar government. These people are showing that, when it comes down to it, material possessions and money are nothing compared to human life.
That is absolutely amazing that the man who lost his parents, wife, AND two children can function....i can understand how he can.....and he is helping the reporters..telling the story...God Bless that man..this is such a horendous tragedy...and my prayers are with the Chinese pepole through this.
It shows drastic change in the way that Chinese government handles natural disasters. When the quake in Tangshen happened in 1976 which killed approx 250,000 people, the Chinese government blocked the news and refused for any aids from outside world. Today, the government immediately sends in soldiers and paramilitary police to rescue people and asks for international help. The prime minister Wen Jia-Bao and other local officials do not hide their high emotion toward the sufferings of the people. The Chinese government may still not be perfect under different circustances, but it should be given proper credit for trying their best to do the right things. The world should try their part to be more understanding of today's China that has traveled down a long and difficult path.
前天晚上與張煒在一起吃飯，聽他談到當時的現場，大醉！ 在一個廣場上，躺滿了1000多具尸體，有人號召捐款，很快的，人民幣就蓋住了捐款箱---沒有了小偷，沒有了。。。。 為了獻血，頂著暴雨，打雨
