This is a great tragedy.

All we can do is join our prayers with those of the Chinese people to save as much life as possible.

Does anyone know the old anglicized name of Chengdu?

It's always been Chengdu or maybe Cheng-tu. The province Sichuan was originally spelled Szechwan (like the food). And Chongqing was spelled Chungking.
