“5? After the 12 "Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, the whole country was saddened. At present, the whole country is United and is nervously carrying out life rescue and love relay.
In the past few days, many netizens have recorded the scenes and pictures of the national disaster relief by means of words, pictures and videos, expressing the common aspiration that "we are all Wenchuan people". Today, we have compiled and distributed several online articles for readers.
Tears can’t help flowing down.
At 2 o’clock in the afternoon on the 12th, I stayed in the office and felt a little dizzy. My colleagues all ran to the street. Some people said that there was an earthquake, and at first they thought it was a joke. Later, everyone was talking about it before they were sure that it was really an earthquake.
So I called my hometown in Badong, Hubei, which is adjacent to Sichuan. My eldest sister said that her family was fine, and the local people felt a strong earthquake. Everyone quickly withdrew from the high-rise building. So I called Enshi’s friends again, and they all felt a strong earthquake, saying that some people fell out of bed during a nap. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
When I got home, I couldn’t help turning on the internet and TV at the same time, hoping to get the situation in the disaster area, and I kept praying for them. At 7 o’clock in the evening, there was only the disaster around Wenchuan in the news, but there was no Wenchuan. At 10 o’clock in the evening, the live TV broadcast said that the death toll in Sichuan had risen to more than 7,000. Somehow, my heart ached and tears could not help flowing down.
As of 10: 20 pm, more than 8,500 people have been killed. I am in a state of grief. What can we do at this moment? Maybe it’s not the time to mourn. Let’s lend a helping hand, have money and make great efforts. Otherwise, will our souls be at peace if we are alive and far away from disasters? I hope more compatriots in the disaster area can survive this robbery! I also believe that the strength of our society and country is strong, which will definitely reduce the losses to a minimum and bring hope to the people in the disaster areas!

Without money, "some blood"
The news report said that at 11: 20 pm on the 12th, people who came to donate blood lined up to fill the whole street at the blood donation house in Linyin Street, Wuhou District, Chengdu. A man in his 50s said, "Everyone is responsible for earthquake relief. I’m a laid-off worker, so I can’t get some blood without money."
On the same day, Xinguanghua Street in Chengdu. A middle-aged female medical staff has been busy setting up tents and arranging patients since the earthquake in the afternoon, and has not returned home until 10 pm. The reporter asked, "Do you have children?" Her nose suddenly soured and said, "Yes, at school, I still don’t know how the child is after the earthquake." She finally couldn’t help crying. The reporter asked her what her name was. What’s the child’s name? In which school? She shook her head without answering, wiped a tear and threw herself into her work.
What is unity is strength? In the face of disaster, we have made the best answer with our own actions. Both the laid-off workers and the unknown medical staff are ordinary people, and they are all using their own actions to interpret unity is strength. It is because of them that we are more confident to win the victory in the earthquake relief struggle.
Although I am thousands of miles away from the earthquake, I always pay attention to the situation of disaster relief and donate money to the disaster area with my mobile phone. Although personal ability is weak, it can also contribute to earthquake relief.
In the face of disaster, too many tears are useless. What we have to do now is to do our best to make love and hope surge in the world. The disaster will pass, and our home will be as beautiful as ever.

Save, save and do something meaningful.
In the past two days, every TV picture from the disaster area and every news of the rising death toll were shocking. Collapsed buildings. Torrential rain The night of fear. Panicked eyes. A bleeding body. Desperate waiting.
Aftershocks continue, traffic is still blocked, and food and medicine are still in short supply … This is what we know.
What we don’t know is how many people are still trapped in the ruins, how many children have not returned, and their relatives have not reunited.
Although thousands of miles away, such concern can no longer make me quiet. In the face of such a disaster, we can’t just sit in front of the TV and be an audience. Early this morning, I rushed to the office and arranged several things: First, we will donate money to the disaster area in the name of the company. Although we are not a big enterprise, we are also "corporate citizens" in China. Second, we should mobilize our employees to contribute. Let employees remember that this is our responsibility and our obligation. Third, to all relatives and friends, colleagues, classmates and customers, send out advocacy, so that everyone can do their part. Fourth, consider setting up a fund for children in disaster areas. In life, we should be thrifty, sing fewer songs, drink fewer bottles of wine and smoke fewer packs of cigarettes, so that every penny can have a greater effect and do more meaningful things.
If you are with us, if you are thousands of miles away, and if you care about those people like us, please act with us!

Wenchuan hold on, China come on!
We withstood the snowstorm during the Spring Festival. The strong earthquake in Wenchuan will not make Chinese fall.
Hold on, my countrymen! Hold on, my brothers and sisters!
Fellow citizens, let us stand up straight in the face of disasters, let us persist, because persistence is a kind of strength, and persistence means opportunity and new life.
We were proud of our motherland when the Olympic torch passed through five continents.
When the 7.8 earthquake happened, all Chinese was with the people in the disaster area! Please believe that we are with you!
Extend your hands and mine, and contribute everyone’s strength. Perhaps one person’s strength is small, but gathering together is the backbone of our Chinese nation!
At this moment, 1.3 billion Chinese needs the same voice ―― Wenchuan stands up and China comes on!
My deepest concern and blessing to the people in the disaster area. I wish you all an early recovery from the disaster and rebuild your homeland.
Pay high tribute to the officers and men of the People’s Liberation Army and the Armed Police who fought in the forefront of emergency rescue, please!
The cold of two people together may be only a slight temperature, but the slight temperature of two people together is not afraid of the cold.
Wenchuan hold on, China come on!

Disaster makes us stronger.
In the face of this earthquake, the whole country took action, united as one in times of crisis and helped each other in times of difficulty. Zhongnanhai stayed up all night, and Premier Wen was in the front line day and night; At night, nearly thousands of Chengdu citizens gathered at the blood donation point to donate blood to the people in the disaster area, and the team was nearly 200 meters long; Thousands of people’s soldiers are moved at the news. For example, heavenly soldiers will gather in the disaster area to save lives … On TV, in newspapers and on the Internet, touching scenes shake the soul.
A great nation has a great spirit. In the face of disasters and difficulties, the Chinese nation has never been too low, showing its indomitable and indestructible great national spirit. For example, fighting against floods in 1998, fighting against SARS in 2003, and fighting against snowstorms in 2008 … Chinese defeated natural disasters again and again with practical actions.
Today, the earthquake has brought people pain and sorrow, but the people’s firmness and determination are unprecedented. Some people posted on the Internet to cheer for the people in the disaster areas, some donated money and materials in various ways, some queued up to donate blood for the injured victims, and some even took risks to inform and transfer the people regardless of their personal safety …
The touching scene of "one side is in trouble and all sides support" continues, and the strength of national unity and struggle is condensing. Tomorrow, we will win the earthquake relief, and we will tell the world once again with practical actions that the Chinese nation is indestructible.
