well.we don't refuse help from international.
days ago,the weather is bad,the Air force soldiers can't land the town through the plane;the highway is break,PAP and PLA and medics were stoped on the way. "help" is not mean let more people go to the spot.for example,the Japan,Taiwan,Russia,S.Korea's proferssional expets had started to save people,but ordinary people are limited to go there: the traffic is so busy,if more people go there,could not help them,just make the high way more busy,victims need water,medicine as soon.keep the highway straight is important.the Air force airdrop food,water,medicine through plane.

More than 100,000 chinese soldiers have been fighting for 4 days in ruins of the earthquake area Sichuan to search and rescue survivals. I'm deeply moved by the pictures from China.

A little boy was rescued by the soldiers of chinese PLA army, who were fixing his injured left arm with a board:



He was calm now and got some water to drink:




While he was transported over the ruin to a safe place, he raised his right arm to give salutation to the soldiers having saved him:

This baby is only 3 - 4 months old. He was protected by his mother by hiding him beneath her body, as the earthquake happened. As the baby was rescued by the soldiers later, his mother had died -- hit by the collapsed house, but having put her last message to her child on her handy: my darling, if you can survive, please remember I love you.

Now the baby was sleeping in the arm of a soldier, without knowing what had happened:

[quote=stillalive;1217094]I read a report about a school in Dujiangyan. It collapsed within seconds after the beginning of the quake.
All the houses in the vicinity are still standing.
Neighbors claimed that corrupted civil servants and builders used inferior materials to make a private profit.
The school was built only 16 years ago.
Nearly all the children (600) and the teachers died.

Now this is, where you can get in. Help to curb corruption, help to make sure, good value and high quality are more important than a quick Yuan.

That way China will be safer and will prosper in the long term.

Thank you. Many netizen have the same quesiton like you, too. But at present the most important thing with are caring about is safing more lives.
After that, proper investigation is needed.

As soon as I saw this story on TV, I can't stop weeping. I donated some money by the mobile again. And stil I've saw a picture that a teacher protecting her students beneath while getting another student in her hand.
Tomorrow afternoon, three minutes of silence for the victims.

China is far more utilitarian in their handling of a problem than the US will EVER be.

I was there at the start of the SARS epidemic. I have stayed in touch via email with one of my guides. I was amazed at how quickly they quelled the epidemic given how closely the Chinese live and work. He told me that the military took over several hotels in Beijing and the military doctors and nurses worked there treating the people.

Beijing has hospitals for their heroin addicts in which the nurses are also police officers who can arrest the person if he decides to leave. Our people had an issue with nurses being police officers. But they don't bat an eye at nurses also being soldiers.

I live on the New Madrid fault line here in Kentucky. We have had two earthquakes in the last couple of months. I have been in many earthquakes. But none of them devastating. I always kind of wonder, if a devastating quake hit, whether I should wait for help or drink the can of weed killer in my garage and just go ahead and die of arsenic poisoning. Your post says a lot about what my choice should be..

May I humbly forward my and my family's condolences for every child, woman and man who lost their lives and for all the Chinese people that grieve, find themselves homeless and displaced.

This is a terrible catastrophe .... I'm all for giving China any help we can possibly give.

Just have read this article in the FT and think it's a real interesting development between Nippon and China, especially giving their rather troublesome relationship ever since the Japanese-Chinese incident (as the Japs are calling it)
