2008, May, 12th.

Twenty eighth minutes into two o’clock.

Millions of lifes were turned upside down at that moment.

A huge 7.8 Earthcrake struck sichuan Provence in China.

As to now, Over thirty thousands people have perished within the cracks of earth.

I’m sure you all have heard about it…

I’m not here to talk about it.

I was deeply cut when I heard about the news. Natural disasters happens all the time.

The cyclone in Burma took so many more lifes, but this particular one happened in my mother land. The place where I spent more than half of my life on.

Let our prayers go out to everyone effected…

On the other note tho. What really effected me is to see everyone sending out a helping hand.

Everyone, came together really fast to help.

Some volunteered as helpers, some donated huge amount of money.

My home Provence, one of the poorest Provence in china, has already collected over 100million in donations.

It really touched my heart to see everyone helping out strangers like that.

What especially tragic about this event is it happened in the afternoon, and most of the kids were in school.

One story that nearly made me cry:

A three month(years? forgot >.<) baby was saved out of the rubble, he was holding onto a mobile phone and on the phone it was a message typed by he’s mum. It said :” baby, if you can survive through this, just so you know, I love you”. The mother died, in process of trying to protect her baby.

There are millions of stories like this.

Natural disasters are not stoppable, so why not change our mourning and sadness to something useful. Help out, and donate money to this tragic event.

50 aussie dollars will help one victim to survive for the next one month.

Even 1cent is a worthy donation. Nothing is too small, nothing is too big.

It’s time like this, that make you realise….

There are love in the world, a lot of it, and that’s what makes our world go around..
