A terrible catastrophe

An earthquake happened in Sichuan. Plenty of people were killed or injured. The government, especially the Prime Minister of China Wen Jiabao, has been in Wenchuan, with the People’s Liberation Army soldiers to rescue the people still stung in the debris.

Most of my colleagues, including me, show great sympathy for the people who are suffering there, and great respect for the soldiers who have come to the rescue to the people there. Surfing the internet, we will find a lot of information or report about the earthquake instantly. From some of the pictures we know what has happening catastrophically there. A lot of the buildings, especially the schools and hospitals have been leveled to the ground.

Look at the pictures above and we will see what is really happening there. The pictures are what the rescue work was happening in the earthquake. Watching pictures and we all feel depressed.

Here I want to ask, as is asked by a lot of people on line, why buildings at school and hospital have been torn down. why haven’t the government buildings? Schools and hospitals are normally neglected by the government. Many of the buildings are only evidences of scandal and corruption. However, unscrupulous builder and the government officials forget that schools and hospitals are the most populated places, although the people who are living in these places are only neglected or looked down upon by them. Watching what is happening to the primary children here, will they feel a twinge of conscience? Most of the government buildings are safely intact. Needless to say that nothing like harm has been done to the officials who live in the offices.
