Hope

Through the thick mist of devastation, hope is struggling to shine. The very next day the blood donation excessed the capacity of every hospital, and people have to be put on waiting list. Thousands and thousands of volunteers rushed to Sichuan. Everyone is donating money and everything they can spare. Donation of astronomical number is puring in from Taiwan and Hong Kong. Rescue teams from Russia, Japan, Taiwan having been working side by side with the Chinese soldiers. After more than 100 hours people are still pulled out of the rubbles alive, and many of them are children, the hope and the future of China.

This baby's mom was found kneeling above her child in protection. She did not survive. But she saved her baby. As long as there are moms who cares if there is God. I am sure he will grow up and become a person that his mom would be very proud of.

This is the girl who has both legs broken. That smile is the hope that keeps everyone going.

A boy with a broken arm saluting to the people who saved him. The first thing he said after the soldiers pulled him out was, 'I want some coke'! and the soldiers said, 'as long as you hold on, anything you want!'













Many Chinese families are ready to adapt the orphans from this earthquake. This little thing will end up having a much much bigger family, about 1.3 billion people. Do you think you can handle that?! :)

The word 'country' in Chinese is 国家. 国 means country, and 家 means home and family. Let's wipe off the tears. It is not the time to say 'oh how sad'. It is time to say 'how can I help?'. There are 1.3 billions of us. If we hold on tight to each other, we can get through this together!
