Qiemng 11:36:38

Thank you for your report. You take care of yourself.
I have been through two large quakes in LA California 6.6 and 6.8 both I thought the house was going to come down. Very scary.
Married to a lady that was born and grew up in Taiwan, she has been through a sizable quake as well.
This is not the time for people on this site to talk politics. I feel bad that you had to read those hurtful statements.
Prayers for all those affected by this earthquake. God Bless you.
The drama being played out in China this very moment is one of bravery and sorrow. In the days to come we will hear great stories of heroism and tales of unbearable misery.
China is a great land filled with a great people with a long history. Any assistance our country can give to alleviate the suffering, no matter how small, should be given forthwith. Politics aside, this is a disaster affecting the common man, (and woman), and of course us conservatives here on this forum can easily see the difference between a disagreeable government and the people it governs.
Our heart goes out to those people, the everyman who just toils to put food on the table and a roof over their head.
This translation is much better.
I was told that volunteers (men between 20~50 years old) in Mianyang, a city located near the center of earthquake, are organized and set off to Beichuan on feet for rescue purpose.
p.s.
reports indicate that there are over 7,000 people die in Beichuan now.
