A Strong earthquake hit YuShu and destroyed it seriously.Which event in YuShu do you think is the most moving?There is a survey about this recently.The results can be listed as follows.

43 percent of the people choose the event that HuangFurong who came from HongKong sacrificed his own life to save the students and teachers in ruins.24% support the electricity worker who died of overwork to restore the electricity supply owing to public service.20% are in favor of an old man who made a living by performing in the street in ShenZhen but donated his money to the disaster area twice.13% choose the event that the school at which nobody was injured in the earthquake resumed classes quickly and was called the proudest one.

Different people have different ideas.I will choose the event concerned with HuangFurong.It is my honor to introduce some backgrounds about him.He once participated in the rescue of WenChuan earthquake in 2008.He himself was not healthy enough.But he insisted on public service diligently without any payment for many years .Though not rich, he tried his best to help the people who need help,especially the poor.He was awarded the honorary citizen of HongKong after his death by Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.To spread his spirit,the young in Hong Kong form an organization named after him now.He is called Afu, according to Chinese custom and he will be remembered by all the Chinese people.In my view,Afu is a hero who can move me to tears .Only by learning from him and doing something to help others,can we make contributions to a better society.

AnEarthquakeis the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earths crust that creates seismic waves . Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer , also known as a seismograph . The moment magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported, or the related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude , with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale.

At the Earths surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by a shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When a large earthquake epicenter is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami . The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity.

In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults , but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.

An earthquakes point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The term epicenter means the point at ground level directly above this.

地震的能量突然释放的结果创造了地震波在地壳中。地震检波器记录,也称为地震仪。地震的矩震级是常规报道,或相关的,大多是过时的里克特震级,3级或低主要是无法察觉的,7级地震导致大面积严重损害。震动强度是衡量麦式震级范围修改。

显现在地球的表面,地震的震动,有时位移。当大地震震中位于海外,海底有时会出现足够的位移导致海啸。地震的震动也能引发山体滑坡和偶尔的火山活动。

在其最一般的意义上说,“地震”这个词是用来描述任何地震event-whether自然现象或一个事件引起的人类产生地震波。地震是主要由地质断层破裂引起的,但也受到火山活动,山体滑坡,我的爆炸,核的实验。

地震的初始破裂称为它的焦点或震源。这个词意味着中心指向地面的正上方。

May 12th, 2008. That’s the most mournful day for our Chinese that will

never be forgotten, because a horrible earthquake happened in Wenchuan, which

caused tens of thousands of children’s death.

On hearing the news, I felt so sorrowful. “Why was the god so cruel to

them?” I asked. They were still at the entrance of the life. They seemed like

little eagles that were willing to open their wings and hover in the sky. Maybe

they would have their brilliant future. What a great loss to our nation! I had

my deepest sympathy on the people in the disastrous area. So I donated some

money and clothes to them. And I also prayed for the dead people sincerely. I

eagerly hope that there would be no earthquakes in the future, so that we could

live a more peaceful life.

everyone has some unforgettable experiences.

last monday, there was a serious earthquake in sichuan province. many people were killed. a large number of houses collapsed. i was shocked. when i see theses pictures on tv, my eyes were filled with tears. i wanted to do something for people in the disaster areas.

two days later, in front of the library of our school, almost all of the teachers and students came to donate money. i was moved. i thought although i couldn’t go to sichuan like the soldiers and the doctors, i still wanted to try my best to help them. i took out all my pocket money and threw it into the donation box.

i hope they can rebuild their homeland early. it will be an unforgettable experience in my life. it makes me experience that if everyone makes a contribution for our country, we can overcome any difficulties.

Deep Wounds of the Sichuan Quake

四川地震的深度创伤

Deep Wounds of the Sichuan Quake

One of the recurring themes from last years earthquake in Sichuan is official corruption and the extent it contributed to the collapse of substandard schools, killing a still unknown number of children. Another, less discussed issue, is the degree to which many local officials in the disaster zone were victims themselves.

自去年四川地震以来，一个反复出现的主题是关于政府官员的腐`败，以及因之产生的未达标学校的倒塌，导致仍不知确切数字的孩子们的死亡。而很少论及的另一个问题，是灾区地方官员自己成为受害者的程度。

In Beichuan, where as many as 15,000 residents were killed, a quarter of the local officials also perished in the quake. Many of the survivors lost family members. When my colleague Lin Yang and photographer Ian Teh went back to Sichuan last fall, we met with a Beichuan official whose wife and daughter were both killed on May 12. Zhang Kangqi keeps a drawing of them, sketched from old ID photos, by his bed. All other mementos of them were buried in Beichuan. (You can see Ians photos of the recovery efforts, including a portrait of Zhang, in this gallery.)

在北川，多达15，000名居民死亡，四分之一的地方官员也在地震中死去。许多幸存者失去了家人。去年秋天，我和同事杨林和摄像郑永仁回到四川时，遇到一位北川官员，他的妻子和女儿都在5.12地震中死亡。张康齐保存着从旧身份证的照片上临摹下来的一张她们的画像，放在床头。她们的其它所有遗物都被埋在北川下面了。（在这个画廊中，你可以看到郑永仁画的在关恢复工作的照片，其中包括一幅张的肖像。）

Zhang immersed himself in recovery efforts, but not all his co-workers had the same capacity to work through their suffering. A few weeks before we visited Dong Yufei, another local official who lost his son, killed himself. "He was a good man," Zhang said of Yu, "but not everyone can handle the pressure. His child had died."

张专注地做着恢复工作，但是，他的同事并不都具有同样的战胜痛苦的能力。在我们采访董玉飞之前几个星期，另一位失去儿子的地方官自杀了。“他是个好人，”张提到玉飞说，“不过，并不是每个人都能应付压力。他的孩子死了。”

Yesterday brought the grim news that another Beichuan official committed suicide. Feng Xiang, the vice director of the Beichuan publicity department, had lost his 7-year-old son in the quake. Shortly before his death Feng, 33, wrote a post on his blog titled "What If," urging his family not to grieve. "Son, when you left, your father did not have a future, did not have hope, did not have any expectations," Feng wrote. "To be with you is my biggest joy."

昨天，又传来一个无情的消息，另一位北川官员自杀了。北川宣传部副主任冯翔在地震中失去了七岁的儿子。33岁的冯翔死前不久在博客中以“假如”为题力劝家人不要悲伤。冯写道：“儿子，你离开了，爸爸没有了未来，没有了希望，没有了憧憬，与你相聚，是爸爸最大的快乐。”

At 14:28 on May 12, a magnitude 8 earthquake happened in wenchuan county, sichuan province in China. When I saw on television the news, my heart a tight, an acid strength pours into my nose. This is, so many tragic scene in my mind.

I dont want to hear after the earthquake struck, heartless, ruthless earthquake claimed many lives.

I daydream, if I were an angel, I will ask them to gain life. If I am not quick not slow time, I will turn back the hands of time, before the disaster, ask you to leave the land of the disaster. For example, I am a sudden earthquake again; The sunshine when I see the happiness, happy family, I will not have the heart to killing hands to them.

I like how the earth! But he was took so much of your precious life. Earthquake is a natural disaster, we should take action to defense.

We have to save lives, bring benefits to human beings.

Sichuan friends, lets go hand in hand with love.

5月12日14时28分，在我国四川省汶川县发生了8级大地震。当我看到电视上报道这个消息的时候，我心头一紧，一股酸劲涌进我的鼻子里。这是，无数悲惨的景象在我脑中浮现。

我不想听到遭到地震后的袭击，无情，冷酷的大地震夺走许多人的生命。

我遐想着：假如我是天使，我一定会让他们重新获得生命。如果我是不快不慢的时间，我一定会让时间倒流，在灾难来临之前，叫大家离开灾难之地。又比如我是突如其来的地震;当我看见幸福，快乐的阳光家庭，我决不忍心向他们伸出夺命的双手。

我多么喜欢大地呀!可他却夺走了那么多宝贵的生命。地震是一个自然灾害，我们应该采取行动防御。

我们一定要拯救生命，造福于人类。

四川的朋友,让爱与我们手牵手一起走.

After 5.12 earthquake struck sichuan province since 2008, we, I was so frightened by an earthquake, I felt the earthquake many houses will be apart, can let many people lost their lives, is one of the worlds most terrible disaster. Today I saw "China childrens encyclopedia, really know anything about earthquake.

It turns out that the earthquake happened all of a sudden the vibration phenomenon, like the wind, rain, is a kind of common natural phenomena. Vibrations in the earth, in fact, very frequently, probably every 30 seconds there will be time, but most of them are very ease, people did not feel. We can feel the earthquake is due to the relative movement between earths tectonic plates, rock is squeezed, produce a huge amount of energy to make rock failure in an instant, or make originally the already existing fracture activity, suddenly release a large amount of energy, and some of the energy to the earths surface, make the earth trembling violently, causing strong earthquake. Started happening earthquake site is called the source, the source above the ground is called the epicenter, the ground of the devastating earthquake is the most strong place is called the magistoseismic area, while the magistoseismic area often is the place where the epicenter. When the earthquake occurred, the source of shock wave in the earths crust to all directions called seismic waves. Seismic waves hit the ground, the result will be a disaster.

We Chinese people are very smart, as early as the eastern han dynasty, there is a man named zhang heng scientists invented to measure the earthquake Hou Feng seismograph, and our modern scientists are generally measured the spread of seismic wave speed with the help of a seismograph, the place and time of the earthquake.

Know the earthquake knowledge, learning even before the earthquake early warning and self protection method, I think, to know that knowledge is very useful for our own.

自从2008年我们四川发生5.12大地震之后，我就特别害怕地震，我觉得地震会震垮很多房屋，会让许多人失去生命，是世界上最可怕的灾难。今天我看了《中国少年儿童百科全书》后，才真正知道地震是怎么回事。

原来，地震是突然间发生的大地震动现象，就像刮风、下雨一样，是一种很普遍的自然现象。地球上的震动实际上非常频繁，大概每30秒种就会有一次，但大多数都非常缓和，人们都没有感觉。我们能感觉到的地震是由于地球板块之间产生相对运动，岩石层受到严重挤压，产生巨大的能量使岩石在瞬间发生断裂，或者使原来已经存在的断裂突然活动，释放出大量能量，而其中一部分能量传到地球表面，使大地剧烈地颤动，从而引起强烈地震。地震开始发生的地点称为震源，震源上方的地面称为震中，破坏性地震的地面最烈处称为极震区，而极震区往往就是震中所在的地方。地震发生时，震源发出的在地壳中传向四面八方的冲击波称为地震波。地震波冲击到地面，就会引发灾难。

我们中国人非常聪明，早在东汉时期，就有一位叫张衡的科学家发明了用来观测地震的侯风地动仪，而我们现代的科学家也一般都借助地震仪来测量地震波的传播速度，判断地震发生的地点和时间。

知道了地震知识以后，还要学习地震发生前的提前预警和自我保护方法，我想，了解到这些知识对我们自己是非常有用的。

everywhere on the day of mourning for victims of Wenchuan earthquake.

The mourning day is to remember the people who lost their lives in the

earthquake, on one hand, is to remind people do not forget that day, don’t

forget about the past and look into the future; on the other hand, is to

encourage the survivers to stay strong. Life is worth living for.

one. We can rebuild our hope. Just as Nixon said so, our destiny offers not the

cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity. So let us seize it, not in fear,

but in gladness. Just have a little faith. Just try to remember that everything

will be alright. We will find what we are looking for in the future.

Yesterday afternoon, when I was sitting in the classroom and listening to

the teacher. Suddenly, the screen seemed moving and it started to shake. My

teacher stopped his class and then he asked us to calm down. He let the students

who were close to the door left first, and then the rest of us ran out of the

classroom one by one. After a while, everything seemed to be normal, the teacher

asked us to go back to the classroom. Later I learned that there indeed came the

earthquake. I admired our teacher so much, in the important moment, he did not

run away, but considered us in the first place. He is a good teacher.

Injury is very serious, scarlett yi has accepted the right leg amputation, but still in a coma, can only rely on breathing machine help to breathe. The doctor said she suffered serious damage of liver and kidneys. Grace is huaxi hospital intensive care unit for emergency treatment. To see her mother tearfully when accepting a reporter to interview, sad, my in the mind very afflictive, sour nose, I pray for her, want her to wake up and get well soon. Yi, come on!

My heart trembling, and the terrible earthquake, damn, why didnt at the time of the earthquake precursor, why no one can predict? Before the typhoon weather here advised us that want us to do a good job of typhoon. Sincerely hope that we can anticipate this natural disaster.

早晨，我和妈妈揉了揉惺松的眼睛，一骨碌地坐起来，打开电视看新闻，电视上面正在直播四川地震情况，我和妈妈就全神贯注地看了起来，新闻上说死亡人数已经超过170多人，6986人受伤。解放军叔叔们昨晚上一晚上都没合眼，一直在搜救，希望在72小时的黄金时间内搜救出更多的人民。

其中芦山县有一位11岁女孩叫黄思怡，她父母在县城打工，黄思怡一直跟爷爷奶奶生活在一起，地震发生时，黄思怡从楼上往下跑，途中被围墙砸到。在邻居的帮助下，思怡被救出来。伤势很严重，思怡已经接受了右腿截肢手术，但依然昏迷不醒，只能靠呼吸机辅助呼吸。医生说她的肝、肾功能受到严重损害。思怡正在华西医院的重症监护室进行抢救。看到她妈妈接受记者采访的时候声泪俱下，伤心欲绝，我心里很难受，鼻子酸酸的，我为她祈祷，希望她快点醒过来，快点好起来。思怡，加油!

我心里直打哆嗦，这可怕的地震真可恶，地震发生时为什么都没有前兆呢，为什么没有人能预测呢?我们这里台风来临之前气象台都会通知，要我们做好防台工作。真心希望我们人类能够事先预测这种自然灾害。

Strong earthquake damage so large to show once again brought out. In the vicinity of the epicenter and in some cities and villages many houses collapsed and damaged roads telecommunications disruption many schools and hospitals have become ruins. Human vibrant homes Zhuanshun between appalling.

This is a natural disaster caused by difficult to avoid the tragedy it is sad. And this kind of tragedy and in fact the long history of human companions Ruyingsuixing. Far not said that the 1976 Tangshan earthquake despite the past 32 years but has remained a matter of fear. In 1998 the major flood disaster in 2003 the "atypical pneumonia" crisis the end of 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the recent tropical storm in Myanmar have caused a large number of casualties and property losses. Human nature is no stranger to disaster but when Wenchuan earthquake and the plain reality of the time the natural power of human beings before the fragile exposed completely.

Wenchuan earthquake the people to disaster areas has caused tremendous physical and mental suffering but also makes the map as a small region the people throughout the country the most about the place. As a so-called human life compatriots suffering in some of the time the countrys grief out of the full performance. The international community has also expressed concern about the rapid and condolences.

When a major earthquake has occurred and aftershocks continued the key word at this time only a matter of fact the word "save" and "assistance." In a sense the "assistance" is also "save" an integral part. There is no doubt that relief has become Chinas current government and the people most important task.
