The Earthquake has changed people

May 24th, 2008 · 2 Comments

My sorrows to all earthquake-suffered families.

When this tremendous natural disaster hit Chinese people in the head with no kind warning, it destroyed homes but didn’t extinguish our hope.

It certainly changed many a selfish Chinese citizens, who could actually sympathize with earthquake victims, and offered help. It melt the glass panel between rich and poor, high and low, north and south, east and west, Taiwan and Mainland etc.

These ten farmers from Shangdong Province spent 3 days to reach Sichuan earthquake-hit region in a three wheeler van. They were among the first unofficial volunteers to work side by side with PLA to help find survivers.

This man tied his dead wife on his back to drive her to a funeral home, in the hope that she could die with dignity.

    Its good to see the people of the world pull together for the common good.
    It shows we are all the same on the inside.
    We all feel sadness, love and loss. It does not matter the color of our skin or what God we believe in, I only hope this ultimately will bring us closer together for a common good.
