Even HongKong's TV station changes logo to black and white as a sign to mourn for the victims of the huge earthquake.
China mourns for 3 days as people join and chant: one side has disaster, eight sides come to help!
It is great to see such unity! Never seen such unity before in China.
Throughout Chinese history there were just too many man-vs-man conflicts: 40,000 is SMALL compared to military conflicts. How come people don't seem to mourn as much for those hacked by battle axes and boulders rolling down from castle seige? Often, history books (or classic novels) praise a certain general's intelligence for outsmarting the other sides' general. Poets say it best, poor translation here:
The cost of one winning battle is ten-thousand set of decomposing bones.
Please, keep the unity on, don't fire rockets to Taiwan, or among yourselves. Help each other! Prosper together!
I've heard one person says, hey we use too much plastic bags that damaged the environment, and it is fighting back!
Ok, dear complainer, thanks for your concern for environmentalism. But do you realize that earthquakes and plate tectonics takes places even before human existence? I suppose global warming (and I am wearing at sweater in late May) and earthquakes are not so related.
Though changing colors of logos and lowering flags don't help much, it is good to remember those victims.
