China in Black and White

FOR THE SALVATION OF THE DEAD AND

BLESSING OF THE LIVING

0628 GMT, 19th May 2008, China started its three minutes national silence and half-mast flags as a special tribute for the victims in the 5.12 Sichuan earthquake. This quake is now declared to be 8.0 Richter by Chinese officials. This devastating earthquake, unfortunately, happened in my home town, the Sichuan province. But I am one of the lucky ones that all my families are safe and sound. Over 30,000 did make it, according to the state media statistics and the number is expected to roll up to 50,000. Today is the start of the three day national mourning of this tragedy events. Many entertainment industries have decided to shut their business during this period including many cinemas, night clubs and pubs in Beijing. Most TV channels will suspend their entertainment programmes and most websites colour-coded their home pages with black and white. China is crying with the deepest sad and sorrow but it is fighting with the strongest will and courage!
