May, 2008 Unexpected Disaster on May 12th, 2008Openning up every website, all that I see is the pictures filled with pain, sorrow, desperation and fear...The death record got refreshed every seconds,it's hard to believe so many people got killed within such a short time. Families were destroyed, lovers were seperated, young lives were taken away...This is another historic moment to be remembered with regret and anger.
Many of us have been asked by a question like this: If tomorrow is the last day of your life, what would you do? Actually, not so many of us knows the answer. Life, was gifted the day when we born in this planet and was taken for granted that it'll last till the last day of our life. When would be our last day? Isn't that too early and funny to talk about it? Well, it depends...
All of this came too fast for us to take: Why this disaster wasn't been detected? The existing technology is able to help us to get a better life but unfortunately it was not advanced enough to forecast the natural disater.
There's an important message delivered by this earthquake: everything could happen, and sometimes it just does in a way beyond of imagination. A woman was stuck in a collapsed buliding and she cut her leg to drink the blood in order to stay alive. And eventually, this brave lady has been discovered and got rescued. As long as you're tough enough, you'll get through the hard time. Hang on there, even we're not the Iron Man.
The sadest thing is many of the school bulidings collapsed during the earthquake and many students and teachers have gone during the earthquake. I read some of the diaries from the surviving students from Bei Chuan School. The teenagers were terrified by what happened during the earthquake and the consequences: school life have to be suspended, homes were replaced by shelter, worst of all, some of them have witnessed the death of their schoolmates, teachers or family members.
Even there's no earthquake in GZ at May 12th, but let's see us as the lucky ones survive from the disater. Let's help those people who in need and hope the dead people can rest in peace . Let's work together to help them rebuild their homes.
Anyday could be the last day, and hence, love when you can love and never let go when you have that one.
