5.12.2008. A day to remember...

I surfed on the net on May, 12th in Wuhan, when the earth quake took place in Wenchuan, a small town of Sichuan province, which is quite close to Chengdu where my university situated.

Later when I watched the news on TV, I got that lots of citizens around Chengdu suffered a lot. Thousands of people lost family, houses collapsed, many lost their lives...Earthquake frightened everyone, both at home and abroad...

I feeled that I was very lucky because I planned to go back to Chengdu for travel, and after that I return to the university to attend the graduation ceremony...

But plan changed, and luck arrived.

I went to a beautiful and safe city for travel, which suffers not a little from the earthquake...I sent messages to my teachers and friends there, knowing that all of them are safe...But they still feeled scared, and lived outside when it was raining...

Chengdu, is named a city that you once come and never want to leave by a famous director. It is such a city. Hope everyone pray for this beautiful city!

Best wishes!
