The earthquake of Jiuzhaigou

Hot 3640 views. 2017-8-9 21:32

Last night about at 9:10, I read a news about the earthquake happened in Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province. The magnitude 7.0 earthquake has so far caused the death of 19 people and about two hundred more injured. And of those injured people, about more than forty are seriously hurt. Many of those people who trapped in this earthquake are tourists. It is a sure thing that the death toll and injured ones will be found more than what it has reported at present. 

It was a disastrous catastrophe and also reminds me of the earthquake happened in May 12, 2008. Right, that was the Wenchuan earthquake which caused more than one hundred thousand people dead in that quake. That time, I was till in the college. The news had all people nationwide and home and abroad surprisingly sank into the heartrending misfortune. Every year, on the day of May 12, I can hear of the air defense warning. This still tells people that we should forget what happened and never let the history easily go.

Let's pray for the innocent. And let's thank god that we are still alive.
