I believe everyone is very concerned about one thing lately, the great disaster happened in Sichuan, China. A dreadful 7.9 magnitude tremor earthquake struck in Sichuan on the 12th May 2008, which was last Monday. There was still a 5.5 magnitude aftershock yesterday. This terrible earthquake has seriously brought an unfavorable condition and damage to China’s Sichuan Province. It caused landslides, disrupting telecommunications and blocking roads in already-devastated areas. Furthermore, it is estimated to have killed at least 22,000 people, and these figures will be rising dramatically once the rescue teams reach the most affected areas. Beyond the cities where near the earthquake’s epicenter, thousands of people are buried under the rubble of collapsed buildings……

The survivors of the disaster stated that all just happened in a sudden, they could not even know what was happening that time. They felt helpless in the chaos situation. Now, some of the victims feel hopeless in the future as all their valuable things and loved ones are gone… Some victims even getting worse and losing control, they just cannot bear the serious mentally injured as they do not want to see all this! Things are changing very fast they said, there are approximately 50,000 deaths now.

When I saw this news, I totally got shocked! I really do have very strong sympathy to them. No one would like to see all this happens… Now, I hope all this would pass as soon as possible. Hopefully those rescue teams can save all the victims lives. God Bless them!

After I have come across this news, I feel very lucky that I am staying in Malaysia. Overall, it is indeed a peaceful country compared to so many other countries.
