Life in Yangshuo

An earthquake, magnitude 8.0, struck Sichuan province of China at 2:28PM, May 12, 2008. This terrible event took place a month ago, but it have been affacting many people's hearts. The epicenter of the earthquake, Wenchuan, is about 90 miles from Chengdu. The earthquake released more energy than 500 atomic bombs, 30 times more than the Kobe earthquake in Japan, 1995. Up to this day, there are more than 67,000 confirmed dead, more than 20,000 still missing, and more than 4.7 million houses collapsed or heavily damaged. Many other cities in China are also influenced. But there was no complaint, no looting, chinese people stand by each other very tight.  People in every corner rushed to rescue, donated blood etc; The people in Yangshuo were self-motivated to donate money and other things, some of them waited hours to donate their belongs. Also, many foreigners in Yangshuo did their best to help the victims out. All that I want to say is:' Where there is life , there is hope; Where there is love , there is power. Where there is a will, there is a way. We will win the battle against the earthquake at last.'
