Memorial for the 5.12 Earthquake
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…
