This Year Isn’t As Lucky As the Number Appears

New Roman">This Year Isn’t As Lucky As the Number Appears          

2008---a lucky number in Chinese’s eyes, which we awe very much, because we think it will bring us Chinese fortune. At the very beginning of this year, however, a sudden heavy snow covered southern part of China, a mass of area, and hindered many means of transportation, which impeded many many jobber boys who yearned to go home for a gathering with their family, in the train stations, bus stations, airports, etc. Thousands of them had no choice but linger on there, which affected millions of hearts.

However, today, several months after that, an unexpected disaster raided again! A precipitate heavy earthquake attacked Sichuan Province and many other circumjacent areas, resulted in ashes of buildings, death, the dying, and the wounded. Without having seen the pictures token at the spot, I could really hardly imagine the occasions. There are too many scenes for us to remember, too many moving stories that touch us deeply, and too many people whom we should give our regards to. As regards the coming of the disaster, we could do nothing. But we can do what we can to reduce the damage and loss to the lowest degree. Posters can be seen everywhere in campus, aiming at advocating and calling on people to donate what they can to help our brothers and sisters who need them urgently. As far as I know, broadcast stations, TV stations, newspapers, Internet and everything that can deliver the spirits are doing their best. At least, there are many charity activities held here in the city where I study in. Some people cannot live a comfortable life themselves, but they did; some disabled who even doesn’t have a leg went to the spot and did the donation. The hearts across the whole nation, whose citizens have great national cohesion, are doing their best to release the situation. Although we are far from each other in geography, our hearts are always linked together. One nation, one dream, one sky!

Individual’s power is limited and slender, but thousands of individuals’ power cohering together is strong and terrible enough to conquer the disaster. Everyone, no matter who you are, wherever you are, whatever you do, let’s make joint efforts to help them rebuild their new homeland; let’s send our best regards and wishes to those who are undergoing the suffering and those who are bravely healing the wounded and rescuing the dying there. I believe, as long as our will is unity, it is an impregnable stronghold to ward off the evil and misfortune, and that China will make a string of hits after the recovery from this disaster.
