Quake down to the souls

The three-day national mourning for the dead in the Sichuan earthquake has ended. It was a great step of the authoritarian Chinese government to lower the flag and call for a 3-minute silence at the moment the earthquake hit 7 days ago. The whole nation stands still with cars and boats blowing their horns. It was touching.

The Communist Party had claimed "men are more mighty than the nature." They seem to acknowledge the power of the nature at last.

People from wealthy cities are giving money and many even go and volunteer help.

If this earthquake can bring fundamental change to the mentality of people in China, those who died can rest in peace.
