the sichuan earthquake was such a big thing...
it has taken 68,109 lives from this world...
so i just thought the least i could do for them is to
dedicate a blog to them,the parents, the injured, the rescuers,
the volunteers, the medical staff, the orphans, the lives lost
in the big disaster, the missing and those who are willing to help...









China yesterday completed it three days of mourning for the
victims of the May 12 earthquake in Wenchuan, Sichuan province.
The confirmed death toll has risen 51,151, a jump of almost 10,000
from the day before. Another 29,328 people remain missing and nearly
300,000 were injured. The disaster has left 5 million people homeless
and leveled more than 80 percent of the buildings in some remote towns
and village areas near the epicenter. The quake has also created in over
4,000 children becoming orphans.



The earthquake caused 175 schools, with a total of 8,365 classrooms and
dormitories, to collapse. This has raised questions about the poor
quality of construction in these buildings. The government has responded
by promising to punish any state-owned companies found to have built
schools that collapsed. Angry parents are also beginning to protest and
demand compensation. Near one secondary school, where some 400 students
were crushed in the collapse of a building, the only building to crumble
in the vicinity, angry parents are gathering signatures on a petition and contemplating filing a lawsuit.



Rescues are still occurring but are becomes fewer and fewer. A woman
was rescued 9 days after being trapped in a tunnel in a hydropower plant.
Zeng Changhui, suffered multiple fractures to her right arm, ribs and lower
back. Her injuries were not life-threatening according to a doctor. Also a
60-year-old woman was pulled from the rubble of a collapsed temple 195 hours
after the quake. Wang Youqun suffered only a hip fracture and bruises on her
face during her eight days in the rubble.



As the rescue effort continues, concerns also turn to helping the 5 million
people left homeless by the earthquake. The government was setting up
temporary housing for victims unable to find shelter with relatives. Nearly
280,000 tents had been shipped to the area and 700,000 more ordered with
factories ramping up production to meet demand. Sichuan's governor said 3
million tents were needed.

Authorities also announced their intention to rebuild the county seat of
Beichuan on an entirely new site. Beichuan, one of the worst-hit areas in
the 8.0-magnitude quake, which is surrounded by hills soaring to altitudes
of 500 to 1,000 meters, saw more than 8,600 of its 13,000 residents killed
by the quake.

Premier Wen Jiabao announced on Wednesday the central government will establish
a 70 billion yuan (US$10 billion) reconstruction fund for the quake-hit regions.
He said the devastating earthquake had caused huge losses and said reconstruction would be an arduous task. The central government's spending will be slashed by
5 percent this year to fund quake relief efforts. Government organizations and public institutions at all levels were ordered to decrease their spending on meetings and business travel and freeze the approval of any new office buildings
for government bodies. He also called the public to practice a frugal lifestyle
to support the reconstruction of quake-stricken areas.

One of the most destructive moments in Chinese history is bringing together
this vast nation of more than 1.3 billion people, made up of 56 different
ethnic groups stretching across five time zones. When millions of Chinese
paused for three minutes of silence Monday, they personified the surge in
patriotism and charity that has swept this country since the massive earthquake leveled large sections of Sichuan province. During the 3 days of mourning which finished on Wednesday, Chinese gathered in public squares across the country to light candles, sing the national anthem and raise chants of "Go, China, Go!"
and “Rebuild Sichuan!”. As Chinese we must be united," said a student. "We
Chinese can do it!"
