2008.5.12 is a tragic day to all of Chinese people, the powerful 7.9-magnitude earthquake in Sichuan Province,until now, about 15,000 have been killed, and more than 40,000 people are buried under the rubble.
The rescue seems slow because of the unique location. The earthquake happened in the remote mountain area, many small towns only got one way to link with others. And these roads have been destroyed, which means the communication were cut off. So it is impossible for rescue team to reach there.The only way to solve the emergency situation is sending more helicopters.
This is the most significant thing in our country now, we are caring the people in the disaster day and night, and using different kinds of ways to help them. Donating money, food, cloth and even blood. In our university, we are taking care of those who came from the disater zone. Life is the most precious thing.

I am praying that China gets more help and the equipment they need to assist in the rescue. Just the thought of being trapped and buried alive in a small space makes me feel sick to my stomach. I am praying so hard for them all. This candle I am lighting is to help shine the way to find more trapped victims. God please help.
