The day of mourning - we pray for you
Today moring, I got up and surfed the internet, I found that the logo of baidu is change into gray color. I thought there must have some reasons. Then I opened my qq and been told that China on Monday began three days of national mourning as the death toll from last week's devastating earthquake mounted and rescue workers continued to search for survivors among the rubble. By Sunday evening, the official death toll rose to 32,477. Another 220,109 were wounded in the major quake. Chinese officials said the three-day period of mourning will begin at 2:28 p.m on Monday, exactly one week after the quake struck the southwestern Sichuan province.During that mourning period, the Olympic torch relay will be suspended. The torch was going to be in the eastern cities of Ningbo and Jiaxing in Zhejiang Province on Monday, then in Shanghai on Tuesday and Wednesday. The national flag was lowered to half staff in Beijing Tiananmen Square and all the overseas offices. And the officals also required to stop entertainment activities. Air-raid warnings will sounded and all Chinsese fellowmen stand in silent tribute for 3 minutes at 2:28 p.m.. In that period, cars, trains and ships will stop and whistle for 3 minutes. Stock market will pause in 3 minitues,then they restore business deals at 2:31. This nation's movement reflect our unity and warm-heart. There is an idiom called "Ten fingers connects with the heart." It's really exciting that there is solid unity throughout the nation. The terrible catastrophe came, we all astonished.
I do find the power of internet. We can see sina, baidu, iciba, yahoo, etc have change the logo into black or gray color. It's no doubt that this is the greatest national mourning in our country. Everyone felt shocked when we saw the change in the internet. What's is more, I do admire and appreciate the center goverment's power and great influence. I knew considerable people complained that the Chinese nation was a heap of loose sand. Sometimes I also had this opinion. However I have changed my mind by two events occured in China. One is Carrefoue incidence, one is Wenchuan earthquake. This two events reflect our fellow's resolution to develope our country, to promote the our position in international society. we can see many appreciation, respect and admiration from foreign broadcasting station and tv station all over the world.
I'm waiting for the moment of mourning, I will stand and pray constantly for the death people.
