a strong earthquake struck wenchuan, sichuan province on may 12, 2008. people in disaster-stricken area have suffered a lot. misery of losing home as well as family members have thrown them into deep sorrow. seeing the photos on the internet and newspapers, i kept asking myself, “what can i do to help them lessen their burden?”
like many other classmates, i’ve donated all the money i save and i’ve also given away many books and stationary in order to help those children who now aren’t able to go to school. besides, i’ve written some letters to the kids at my age, trying to encourage them and cheer them up.
blood is thicker than water. though the earthquake is merciless, people in every corner of our country are all eager to give a helping hand. i strongly believe that where there is love, there is a way. hand in hand, heart with heart, we chinese people shall overcome all the difficulties and brand new homes shall be rebuilt soon.
