It's incredibly unreal to see that these people are not complaining, and are just focusing on the relief effort. With 1.3 billion people like this, able to grind out the toughest and most grim situations, no wonder they will be the next super power. Can you even find 1.3 billion people like this anywhere outside of that country?

 

No looting. No complaining. Just people helping people in times of devastation. That's unheard of around here.

 

Imagine how the people of California will be acting after the "BIG" one hits. As in New Orleans, they will all blame the government and expect the rest of us to pay the price. Of course, the people of New Orleans WERE warned, and ignored the warnings.....we will all continue to pay the price for many years to come.

 

After all the bad attention China has been getting recently, I am so proud to watch as they band together to help others. China should be an example to the Myanmar government. These people are showing that, when it comes down to it, material possessions and money are nothing compared to human life.

 

That is absolutely amazing that the man who lost his parents, wife, AND two children can function....i can understand how he can.....and he is helping the reporters..telling the story...God Bless that man..this is such a horendous tragedy...and my prayers are with the Chinese pepole through this.

It shows drastic change in the way that Chinese government handles natural disasters. When the quake in Tangshen happened in 1976 which killed approx 250,000 people, the Chinese government blocked the news and refused for any aids from outside world. Today, the government immediately sends in soldiers and paramilitary police to rescue people and asks for international help. The prime minister Wen Jia-Bao and other local officials do not hide their high emotion toward the sufferings of the people. The Chinese government may still not be perfect under different circustances, but it should be given proper credit for trying their best to do the right things. The world should try their part to be more understanding of today's China that has traveled down a long and difficult path.

 

Thanks for the report. I hope people will eventually understand that reliable earthquake prediction is not technically possible.

删了近两年的日志，以前写的东西又重新出现在眼前....

居然有点怀念大学简单而又充实的生活，那时候没有啥忧虑，傻傻地做着自己的英文和数学练习题~

最近听了很多别人对自己的夸奖和批评，渐渐开始担心我可能会对将来的那个我感到失望...

虽然我还是确信我走的路是正确的，但要成为一个优秀的人需要的不仅仅是自己正确的决定，还有将来会遇到的人和事情所能给予我的磨炼。

 

思考问题逐渐带有依赖性，这可不是好兆头，特别在我马上就要踏上独立生活之旅的时候。

不过还好，已经意识到这个问题。

也又一次明白了，我现在要干什么、要成为什么人。原来就算在正确的道路上，有时也会迷茫，并忘记自己的目的和人生哲学，这就需要时不时的提醒。虽然这样让我吃了不少苦头，但一直觉得是好事，是一次宝贵的经验。就是这一次次的经历让我一直坚持到现在，每当我开始迷茫、犹豫的时候，也是因为这些经历，让我认清了自己要走的路，而且不让我偏入歧途。

 

就因为这样，我觉得一直没有跌过什么大跟头。当然也有非常沮丧、失望的时候，但每每遇到挫折和危机，我都能很快从无意义的痛苦和失落中解脱出来，学习教训，把精力集中在解决问题和应对将来上。所以，一直觉得很感谢生活带我走过的每一处，无论是痛苦或幸福、悲伤或欢乐，总能因为丰富、精彩了我的人生阅历而化成一次次对生命的感激。

 

我很感谢那些在我走过来的一路上，给予我帮助、温暖和信任的朋友们，也甚至感激那些对我造成过不便，用痛苦的现实教给我宝贵人生经验的人们。因为他们不但让我意识到自己应该为成为一个更加优秀的人而不懈努力，不应该放弃任何一个锻炼自己的机会，更让我决心要为做一个能给别人带来帮助和温暖的人而努力。因为他们，我意识到虽然生活有时是残酷的，但只要心存希望、坚持不懈，人生的温暖和感动就永远不会消失，世界也会因此变得更加美好。

 

所以我想在这里衷心地对生活说一声：谢谢！
