Meanwhile, comments from some Hollywood Celebrity

Filed under: finding, random — Lu @ 1:30 pm

Sharon Stone’s response at Cannes when Hong Kong Cable Television interviewed her about Sichuan’s earthquake. It’s uncomfortable to hear someone can talk about catastrophe as if a casual personal matter: “oh, how should we deal with the Olympics, because they’re not being nice to the Dali Lama who is a good friend of mine. And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma?” Here is the quote:

“I’m, you know, not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans, because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so, I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that because I don’t like … that. And then I’ve been, this, you know, concerned about, oh, how should we deal with the Olympics, because they’re not being nice to the Dali Lama who is a good friend of mine. And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma? When you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?”

Memorial for the 5.12 Earthquake

Filed under: random — Lu @ 10:17 am

I got back to US for a few days now. Today is the US Memorial day. But my morning is tribute to the victims in Sichuan earthquake. The last three days when I was in China it was the three days national-wide morning for lives taken in the earthquake. All entertainment services and TVs programs were shut down for three days. Before, this kind of national morning only happened for the death for central governors, and this was the first time for the people.

Right now, the death toll is still rising and the earthquake and thousands of aftershocks had left nearly five millions people homeless

Here are some images from US and Chinese press:

When the Flame was in Guangzhou

Filed under: Projects — Lu @ 11:47 pm

前段时间火炬传到了广州,跑过了我住附近的一条街。我因为不清楚几点钟火炬会到,所以就骑着车出去观察局势。结果我到比火炬早到了两小时,所以有幸目睹了观望人群形成和军警的列队等候火炬的过程。虽然我从一开始能站到最前排,但我还是在看火炬和看人两者间选择了看人,所以我又退到了人群外. 下面是些照片。
