事件英语作文：地震无情人有情(热门20篇)

People grow up, the memory of things more up. This summer, experienced a

lot of things, in retrospect, vividly. But the most memorable of my number to

play Wu source hole.

That day, we made an appointment my friend Hu Yulu, early in the morning.

Dad riding a car while talking to us about this discussion, and soon, to the

destination.

Have not wait for my father to buy tickets, I and Hu Yulu flew into the. At

first we both played the swing and seesaw, and later, my father proposed to go

inside. This is the next two of us guys like a ruined Mustang, bolted up.

Playing around everywhere, confused everywhere is gray. I gave Tathagata,

Guanyin, turtles to the money, like a decent way to make a wish, do not know if

they will bring me happiness and good luck.

Did not expect my father actually bought a drifting ticket, I and Hu Yu Lu

not mention more happy. On the boat, we wanted to start planning, but to wait

for everyone to board the boat to start planning. When all the people came up,

the boat set out. Surrounded by a silence, I and Hu Yulu think downhill, but the

ship has not yet to the source, it turned away. Under the boat, I and she said

angrily: "Do not stimulate the thing, the money is white." Dad listened,

laughed. However, we simply spent a long time in the inside, feel the hole

inside the "natural air conditioning."

We also fed a monkey, although it was released a few, but we are still very

happy. "This is a pity that did not bring the camera, did not take this

beautiful scenery to shoot down!" Dad said disappointed.

That day is my most happy day, although not so beautiful scenery and time

to shoot down, but I will not forget this day!

Olympic Games hold every four years and I like to watch the matches so

much. People always pay much attention to the champions, while for me, the

inspiring players are easier to catch my attention. Though some players do not

get the prize, they deserve applause as the champions have. I remembered that in

the Beijing Olympics, in women’s 100-meter-race, a girl looked different from

other athletes, because she worn scarf and was from Afghanistan. She lagged much

behind other athletes, but she still got the intense applause. She showed to the

world that Afghan women could join this big event. Her insistence helped her to

come to the world stage.

As the economy is developing so rapidly, people’s attitude towards life is changing at the same time. Credit cards are becoming more and more popular. but what advantages and disadvantages do they have?

Firstly, it is quite convenient ant safe for us to use a credit card. Cash-stolen does not exist in this way. People now take a card instead of a heavy purse wherever they go. Secondly, credit cards represent great honour. People using credit cards shows his special identity and draw others attention.

On the other hand, credit cards are not always that good. Credit cards can lead to overspending somehow. People pay more than they have and then get busy paying off. Furthermore the credit card cheating happens more often.

In my opinion, credit cards do good in our life. But we should use them carefully. Only when used credit cards properly can make contribution to a more convenient and safer life.

春节，一个我期待很久的日子，原本应该处处是一派快乐、热闹，到处充满欢声笑语的景象。但今年的春节，由于新型冠状病毒的肆虐，所以我只能待在家中，不可以出门，有事出门也要戴着口罩，而且爸爸妈妈每天都会提醒我要注意保暖，注意个人卫生。而在前线奋战的医生们，不知奋斗了多少个日夜，可是，新型冠状病毒好像丝毫没有退却的念头。在这几天中，不知有多少人被病毒夺去生命，不知有多少医生为了战“疫”不可以回家，还在与病毒抗争。

Spring Festival, a day Im looking forward to for a long time, should be

full of happiness, bustle and laughter. But this years novel coronavirus is so

rampant that I can only stay at home and wear masks when I go out, and my

parents remind me to keep warm and pay attention to personal hygiene every day.

The novel coronavirus seemed to have no intention of retreat, but doctors

struggled for many days and nights. In these days, I dont know how many people

have been killed by the virus, and how many doctors are still fighting against

the virus in order to fight the epidemic.

我不禁要问：“新型冠状病毒，你为什么选择了人类?为什么选择这样的日子降临人间?为什么要来伤害人类?”

What novel coronavirus, what do you choose to do with humans? What makes

such a date come to earth? Why do we want to harm human beings?

一天晚上，新型冠状病毒大胆地出现在我面前，扬起下巴轻蔑地一笑说：“你只看结果，不看经过，你知道我是怎么来的吗?我本来生活在动物身上，可是你们这些人类杀死了它们，还把它们吃了，还有人直播吃蝙蝠的过程。所以引发疾病的不是我，而是你们人类。而且我想告诉你，在这个世界上最可怕的不是狮子、老虎，而是你们人类，你们人类的嘴是一个无底洞，是永远也填不满的，你们人类贪婪、残忍，不停地伤害动物，难道你们就不害臊吗?”说完它转过身就走。我冲着病毒叫喊：“可人类也有善良的一面，在这个世界上好人一定比坏人多。”新型冠状病毒转过身来说：“人类的残忍是不可想象的，你们已经打破了生态平衡，直到现在还有人不知悔改!”我大声喊道：“你快走吧!人类已经知道错了，如果你再不走，人类总有一天会把你消灭的。”新型冠状病毒说：“我可以走，不过，如果人类再不知悔改，我的兄弟们还会再来的。”

One night, novel coronavirus boldly appeared before me. Chin lifted up and

smiled scornfully. "You only look at the results, but do not see the passage. Do

you know how I came? I was living on animal, but you humans killed them, ate

them, and someone else was eating live bats." So its not me that causes the

disease, its you humans. And I want to tell you that the most terrible thing in

the world is not the lion or the tiger, but you human beings. Your human mouth

is a bottomless hole, which is filled with discontent forever. You human beings

are greedy, cruel, and constantly hurting animals. Arent you ashamed? "After

saying it, turn around and walk away. I shouted at the virus, "but human beings

have a good side. There must be more good people than bad people in this world."

The novel coronavirus turned around and said, "the cruelty of human beings is

unthinkable. You have broken the ecological balance. Until now, there are still

no repentance!" I shouted, "go away!" the human race has already known that it

is wrong. If you do not go again, mankind will one day destroy you. The novel

coronavirus said, "I can go, but if the human beings do not know repentance, my

brothers will come again."

突然一阵铃声传来，我醒了，可新型冠状病毒说的话却还在我耳边回荡。我希望人类可以吸取此次的教训，善待地球，拒绝吃野生动物，也希望那些染上新型冠状病毒的人们快点好起来

Suddenly, novel coronavirus came back, but I still woke up in my ear.

Animal and novel coronavirus, I hope that people can learn from this lesson,

treat the earth well, refuse to eat wild animals, and hope that those who are

infected with new coronavirus will get better soon._ueditor_page_break_tag_

With the coming ofnational day, I have a one week holiday.

I really expect to it, because I wantto have a short trip during these days. I will travel toJiuzhaiValleywith my parents for three days.

I have heard that the scenery ofJiuzhaiValleyis very beautiful in autumn and it’s the best time to travel there.

Autumn is my most favorite season so I wantto enjoy the beauty of such a wonderful place.

I do some preparations for thistrip.

For example, I search the Internet to see the travel raiders and I haveknown where the most attracting place is and where to live in.

I am sure itwill be a wonderful journey. There are only several days for the coming trip,but I have been too excited to wait.

Today was the first day of my new life. I looked at my new books and

checked everything for the new school year. I was excited as well as

worried.

Entering new school, I was curious about everything, new classrooms, new

teachers, new classmates etc. It would be a new start for each student. And what

I was worried about is that I had no friends here. I wondered if no liked to

play with me. Were the teachers strict with students?

I fell relaxed when the teacher asked me, What else could I help you,

freshman?". I found that the teachers were kind and polite, and the classmates

around me were friendly. While I was thinking about how to get on well with my

classmates, my desk mate showed me his favorite Ipad4s. He wanted to play with

me, but I didnt know how to play, so he taught me patiently, and we played

happily.

Worries have gone, and happiness is coming.

Dear David，

I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having

answered your letter dated 7, December sooner, but when I have told you the

reason, I trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. When your

letter arrived, I was just in Hong Kong. As my family could not forward it to me

during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment

when I took it up. Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you

these few lines to express my deep regret.

I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to give

you an account to of them when I see you next.

Sincerely yours,

Tom

Halloween

Halloween always falls on 31 October. It’s a holiday for children. On that day, children always wear fancy clothes and masks. And then, they go from house to house to say “Trick or Treat”, so that people will treat them with candies. If they don’t receive any candies, they’ll play a trick on people. But sometimes if the people are going out, when the children come, they’ll put the candies in a carved pumpkin lanterns. Children will take the candies themselves. All of the children enjoy this holiday very much.

万圣节总是在10月31日。这是一个属于孩子们的节日。在那天，孩子们总是穿奇装异服而且带上面具。然后，他们会挨家挨户地说“不招待就使坏”，所以人们都会用糖果招待他们。如果他们不接受糖果，他们就会对人们恶作剧。但有时，如果人们外出了，而孩子们来了，他们会把糖果放在雕刻好的南瓜灯笼里。孩子们会自己拿糖果。所有的孩子都很享受这个节日。

The Mid-Autumn Festival has all interesting history. Long ago in one of the

dynasties of China there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not

manage the country well. The people were so angry that some brave ones suggested

killing the king. So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time

and put them into cakes.

On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the

cakes. When they ate them they discovered the notes. So they gathered together

to make a sudden attack on the king. From then on the Chinese people celebrate

on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat moon cakes in memory of that

important event.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival is near, shop windows are beautifully

decorated. Many moon cakes are displayed for people to buy. People send presents

such aswine, fruits and moon cakes to their friends and relatives. In the

evening of the day, they have a feast. After the feast, they go out to the

garden to look at the moon. The children run and laugh on the streets.

It is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. Many poems

have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing

such poems. In Chinese literature, the moon of the Mid Autumn Festival has been

compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. It seems that Chinese

literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun.

In the summer vacation is very meaningful for me, because I met a special

"friend" -- the tortoise.

The appearance of the tortoise is very silly, bravery, small, easily

indented his head into the shell, but because of this, I like talking to it,

what secret all tell it, the tortoise seems to understand. A few days to get

along with down, our relationship has been very deep.

Someone says: love is not necessarily have, also can be let go. Everyone

has his own family, tortoise, too, so I decided to let the turtle go home. I

took the decision to tell dad, dad said I was a sensible child, also promised to

take the turtle home with me.

Along the way, I firmly hold the tortoise and the turtle seemed to

understand that we are about to separate, very good to lay in my arms. Dad and I

found a very clean in the reservoir, where we are and the tortoise took a group

photo, then put the turtle in the water. Looking at the turtle swam slowly to

the water, my tears constantly supposed although there are countless heart

loathe to give up, but love it should not let it go? I waved and said,

"good-bye, tortoise, I wish you a speedy reunion with my family." Turtle swam

for a while, and turned to head looked at us, and then swam to the bottom. My

father and I you look at me, I see you, everyone laughed happily.

Look, what a meaningful summer vacation!

Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers

and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain

from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no

opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the

world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading

about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to

view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can

learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes

of others and can build on their achievements.

Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge.

It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true,

whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best

way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to

act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation.

Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books

to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more

meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge

remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that

knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired

from books.

还记得那日的四川本是风和日丽、阳光明媚、鸟语花香、生机勃勃，然而却在那一瞬间，8级强震猝然袭来，大地颤抖、山河错位、满目疮痍、生离死别，西南处，国有殇！这是新中国成立以来破坏性最强、波及范围最大的一次地震。地震重创约50万平方公里的中国大地！

截止2009年4月25日10时，遇难人，受伤人，失踪人，其中四川省名同胞遇难名同胞失踪，共有5355名学生遇难或失踪。直接经济损失约达8451亿元。这是中华人民共和国成立以来影响最大的一次地震。

于此可见地震带给我们的危害是巨大的，而地震是自然灾害，是无法避免的，是我们人类最大的敌人。虽然我们无法避免，但是随着社会的发展，我们应该懂得用科学的道理，使用的办法来保护自己，减少灾害，避免威胁到自己的生命。下面我们一起了解如何用科学的方法来防震减灾，保护自己，保护家园。

地震来临前，地下水，动物都会有一些异常。只要我们用心观察就会发现地下水冒泡、发浑、变味等。而动物则是乱蹦乱跳、惊恐不安等，这些都是地震来临前的征兆。在地震来临前，我们要掌握防震减灾知识，提高自我保护意识；明确地震时疏散路线和避震场所；清楚楼道和门前杂物；妥善处置屋内易燃易爆物品，关闭煤气，切断电源，熄灭炉子火等；衣袋里装上家庭成员名单、工作单位、通讯密码等；有确切的要写明血型。

地震发生时，从地震开始到房屋倒塌，一般有12秒钟，此时要保持冷静，要做到以下几点：

能撤离时，迅速有序地疏散到选定的安全地区，不要拥挤在楼梯和过道上。

来不及撤离，应就近避震，震后再迅速到安全地方。例如：在家里可躲在床或书桌下面或较小的房间，如卫生间。在教室可躲在书桌下或墙角边。在影剧院和饭店可躲在椅子下。

撤离到室外或正在室外的人员要选择空旷地带避难。

避震时要注意保护头部，如枕头、脸盆、书包等顶在头顶，或用双手护住头部。

地震发生后，大地震中被倒塌建筑物压埋的人，只要神志清醒，都应该坚定获救的信心，妥善保护好自己，积极实施自救。

我相信如果每个人都能做到，那我们在灾难面前便显得不再是那么渺小，在灾难面前绝不再低头。防震减灾，共创美好家园！

The imperial palace, also known as the Forbidden City, is the imperial

palace of the Ming and qing dynasties, which is the largest and most complete

ancient architectural complex in China. I especially want to know the

architecture of ancient palaces and the living environment of ancient

emperors.

One weekend in the golden autumn, the sun is shining and the autumn wind is

crisp. My mother and I went to visit the Palace Museum in the center of the

city. I was very happy.

Enter the gate of the Forbidden City, "wow! Its so big here!" I couldnt

help it. The mother said, "the most spectacular is still in the back!" We first

visited the architectural model of the imperial palace and its construction. I

know that the imperial palace covers an area of over 720,000 square meters, with

more than 9,000 rooms, all wooden structures, and all the wooden structures have

no nails. The palace is the blue and white stone base, the tall roof, the yellow

glazed tile, the pattern of the dragon everywhere, and decorated with the

brilliant color of the golden wall. I observed all the palaces, and found that

the palaces were lined up along the north-south axis, and spread out to the

sides, to the north and south, and to the right and left. I told mom, I found

mother listen to nod a smile, said: "the central axis not only in the Forbidden

City, and nanda YongDingMen, north to the drum tower, almost throughout the

whole city. Its magnificent, well-planned and spectacular.

We have been visiting the taihe temple from the imperial garden. What a

breathtaking view! In the Forbidden City, the most striking is the "three halls"

: the hall of supreme harmony, the hall of harmony, the hall of protection and

the temple. They are all built on the 8-meter-high base of the white jade, which

looks like the qiong yuyu in the myth. The first hall of supreme harmony was the

most magnificent building. People called it the "throne room". It was the place

where the emperor held the grand ceremony. It is 28 meters high, 63 meters, 35

meters north and south, and a large pillar with a diameter of 1 meter. Among

them, six large pillars, one meter in diameter around the throne, are flat

dragon pillars of leached gold. The throne is located at the base of the two

meters high in the temple, with the graceful crane and the top of the furnace,

followed by a carefully carved screen. The whole hall is decorated with golden

walls, which are both majestic and magnificent. The hall of neutralization was

the place where the emperor went to the hall of supreme harmony to take a rest

and exercise etiquette. Baohe and the temple are the place where the emperor

gives banquet to the king of the foreign land every New Year. This is just the

palace buildings, and house decoration is numerous, the rarities of the mother

said: "these treasures is only part of it, when Chiang kai-shek fled to Taiwan

carried away many treasure palace, there are some loss in a foreign country". I

feel sorry for the loss of these treasures. When will these lost treasures

return to the embrace of the motherland? I am looking forward to the reunion of

Taiwan and mainland as soon as possible.

The visit of the Forbidden City made me linger. The Palace Museum is an

unparalleled masterpiece. It is a miracle. Our five thousand years of Chinese

culture are profound and profound, and we should be proud and proud to have

built such a magnificent palace for the ancients. At the same time, we also have

the responsibility to protect these cultural relics from destruction, so that

the five thousand years of splendid civilization of the motherland will be

handed down.

Since I went to middle school, I grew up very fast. On the one hand, I live

in school from Monday to Friday, so I need to learn to get along with roommates.

We share the cleaning work to make sure a good environment. It is everybodys

duty to sweep the floor on turn. On the other hand, I need to solve the problems

from life by myself. Without parents by my side all the time, I learn to face

troubles and figure out all the ways to solve them. I become much independent

and stronger. Now I can deal with my stuff alone.

Today is womens day, and also the day I get the scholarship. Look! I made a chocolate bar for my mother with a scholarship. Although I have paid a lot for myself, I am very happy in my heart: I can also give my mother a gift, instead of wrapping around my mother for presents!

But mom is sick and cant eat sweet food. I had to put the chocolate in the fridge, but after a few days my mother was very ill, and she took a big bite, and I eagerly asked, "is it good?" She said it was a little sandy. I took a bite, too. I was a little depressed. But my mother encouraged me, "but its sweet, its great!" My heart is sweet and happy! I wrote a few words specifically for my mother, although it was not very good.

今天是“六一”儿童节，是我小学时期最后一次儿童节。可我一点也高兴不起来,读后感，为什么呢?

5月12日14：28：04，汶川发生里氏8。0特大地震。这次地震是无数人的生命让死神夺去了。楼房倒塌的一瞬间，一个个鲜活的生命从世界逝去，一个个美满的家庭变得支离破碎，一张张阳光般的笑脸失去了光泽一个个梦想化为泡影。

这件事在我心里埋下了深深的种子，连小学的最后一个“六一”也过不好，老是愁眉苦脸的。妈妈看见了，走过来，说：“你不要再愁眉苦脸的了。”我无精打采地回答：“你怎么让我精神的起来嘛!今天是‘六一’，可灾区的小朋友怎麽办呀?”妈妈笑了笑，说：“全国人民到很关心他们!你看电视上，有的地区把灾区的小朋友聚集在一起，为他们开联欢会;有的爱心人士到重灾区去为孩子们带去快乐，带去温暖。虽然他们的力量不大，但孩子们却显得很快乐。再看看你，不是重灾区的孩子，却还没有他们积极、乐观。”

是呀!他们灾区小朋友有十三亿人民的`坚强后盾，不用再悲观，我为什么还要这麽沮丧?他们还背负着重建家园的重任，却还显得那麽乐观，生活中又充满阳光，我为什么还要这麽担心?“妈!咱们出去玩吧!”我高兴地对妈妈说。“嗯!这样才对，要快乐些!”

我和妈妈走出家门，阳光温柔地洒在我身上，这生活多么美好!我好像对生活又有了新的认识。不管下面还有多少困难，我相信，我们十三亿人民会手拉着手、心连着心，一起迎接这困难……

Its so convenient and interesting to join a tourist group. When you travel

with a tourist group, you don’t need to book plane and train tickets, and you

dont have to care about where to live and what to eat either, because the

travel agency will arrange everything for you. All you need to do is to follow

the tour guides. They will take you to all the places of interest. They will

tell you stories about the interesting places and help you to learn local

culture. This is called a package tour.

A cruise trip is so comfortable and relaxing. You travel on a large sea

cruiser and enjoy the beautiful scenery. When you come up to a nice place, you

can get off the cruiser and visit there. When you are on board, you can lie on

the deck, watching the blue sky, the white cloud and the bright sun, and you

will be free from stress. Besides, there are so many nice activities on the

cruise. For example, you can watch movies; you can see concerts; you can go

swimming in the swimming pool; you can play cards; you can play golf; you can

watch wonderful performances; and you can also attend dancing parties. Nothing

could be more wonderful and relaxing.

Nowadays, backpacking tour has become so popular. Its not just a low-cost

travel for budget travelers, but also a nice entertainment. When you have a

backpacking tour, you can use public transportations like buses and subways and

stay in hostels instead of big hotels, which can save you a lot of money. Today,

this kind of travel is especially popular with young people, because they can

discover the interesting places and know more about the local cultures by

themselves. Its so exciting.

If you want to have a better understanding of a place, you can have a slow

travel. When you have a slow travel, you had better spend at least one week

living in one place, stay with a local family and visit interesting sites near

your living instead of rushing around for a long day to see the must-sees. In

this way, you can make more local friends, taste local food, and know the local

traditions and customs deeper. Only so can you become more knowledgeable and

widen your experience.

It depends on your need to choose the way you want to travel.

Recently, the news reported that one special kind of rhino from Africa just

passed away, which meant the disappearance of this lovely creature. What a great

pity. The tragedy is caused by the damaged environment, while human being must

be blamed for it, because we have done so many bad things to pollute the

environment and make the nature lose its balance. In order to make up our faults

and save our offspring, it is in need of protecting the environment. As the

ordinary people, we can do the small things, such as do not throw away the

rubbish and join some activities to bring the world green, like planting trees.

Every small act can make a difference. Some day, when we live with the

environment friendly, what we do is worth.

In the last several decades, our earth has been extremely polluted, such as

air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and so on. In recent years, the

extreme weather becomes more and more frequent. Winter gets colder and summer

becomes hotter and it rains more frequently. All of these warn us that

protecting the environment is a serious and emergent event. As our general

people, we should build proper lifestyle. We should pay attention to water and

light saving. When we go out, we should firstly choose the public

transportation. The most important is that we must realize that we can do a lot

of things to protect our environment. Its our duty to make our home better.

Let’s change from ourselves.

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坏，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。”
