Flags flew a half-stuff,public entertaiment was canceled and 1.3 billions were asked to observe 3 minites silence today as our country began 3 days of mourming for victims of the coutry's massive earthquake. The national mourning was the first time in our coutry for anyone other than a national leader. After the earthquake,our government took mearsures in the first time,and the whole coutry quckily mobilised..... The olympic torch relay suspended,the logo of newspapers and websites in our coutry blacked....The wind is cring..... As the chairman Hu said,"I believe firmly that no difficulty can not be overcome in front of our great people." Pray for life. Pray for our great country. Pray for our great people....

We're extremely sad that so many people lost their life and millions of homes were destroyed in the earthquake. I am sad to hear any news about the victims and happy to hear the news about the survivors. I believe it is time for our homeland to pass through all the disasters and come to its bright future! Our great country and great people is unconquerable!!!!!!

Have you heard of that a pregnant woman, who had been trapped for 180 hours ,was rescued and gave birth to a baby today.What a lucky baby.How great the mother is.They are reported to be asleep now.I wish them sweet dreams,in which there is no darkness,no starvation,no fear,no danger.
