Earthquake relief and we must study hard

“Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs.” This is a catastrophe, and sincerity is a national tragedy: As of 14:40 on May 16, the death toll from the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan has exceeded 22,000, and nearly 17 have been injured. Thousands of people, while several people are still missing or buried. A land of blood and tears, the sorrow of the living people, the pain of the family and the country. When tens of thousands of lives are lost and lost, it also brings us all to sadness and pain.

"5·12" is like a sudden black veil, tied to each of our left arms. If disasters are the greatest politics, then we express our political conscience with our "immediate" response. The General Secretary issued instructions immediately, Prime Minister Xi Jinping rushed to the disaster area immediately, the People's Liberation Army and multiple central ministries and commissions initiated response and linkage immediately, and foreign dignitaries immediately expressed condolences and condolences.

At the same time, authoritative information penetrates the barrier of disaster at the first time and reaches the public by running ahead of rumors. And just the day after the disaster occurred, the head of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee stated that the Olympic torch relay should be combined with earthquake relief. The Olympic torch will be based on the principle of safety first, reduce the scale, simplify procedures, focus on simplicity and practical results. Before the torch relay begins, all participants will observe a minute's silence to express condolences to the compatriots who died in the earthquake disaster. Donation boxes were set up at the starting point, end point and along the way of the torch relay, and earthquake relief slogans were hung to closely combine the enthusiasm of the people to participate in the Olympic torch relay with the actual actions of earthquake relief.

Abandon the worries about political achievements, image and reputation, make a quiet memorial hall for all the souls of the dead, leave a pure place for the suffering of reality, and be more fair and political for all Find its most human original intention and most essential position. All things happen, but "disaster" is the biggest. Those lives forever silent under the ruins are enough to make us bow our heads in mourning; those compatriots who are still waiting for rescue are enough to make our hearts burn. How dare we ignore major disasters, and how can we neglect personnel matters? Only by remaining decisive in crises and conveying firmness in the face of disasters can we radiate the ability and courage of the whole country to unite.

Disasters are the greatest political issue, and actively participating in disaster relief is the best expression of patriotism. In those buried and isolated places, there are still hidden prayers and blessings for all of us. We mourn the dead and hope that as many living names as possible can be added to the list of survivors. Governments and military forces at all levels are taking urgent action, and civil organizations and the international community are responding quickly. "A person could be saved just one second earlier", "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will try a hundred times harder", "We will not hesitate to use any means and at any cost", what the Prime Minister said is the national expression under the disaster, and the people The appeal is a mobilization order for all patriots.

In the year of the Olympic Games, patriotic enthusiasm is ignited wherever the torch passes. But when disaster strikes, it inspires our patriotic enthusiasm in another way. Those citizens who queue up to donate, those college students who roll up their sleeves to donate their blood, those volunteers who rush to the disaster areas, including all those who are always paying attention to the disaster and praying for the disaster areas, are writing the most powerful patriotic characters in the best way they can. This is the great rescue after the great disaster, so it will also be the great unity after the great sorrow.

God bless China and God bless the disaster-stricken areas. A nation has always thrived in times of great adversity, and the love of brotherhood and compatriots binds us together. The "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake was like a yellow ribbon fluttering in the wind, hanging high in China. This yellow ribbon with SOS written on it is a sign of help after relatives are separated. Everyone in the earthquake area is a relative who was separated by the disaster and whose blood is thicker than water, and we are trying our best to find them.

When the sorrow is exhausted, we are united as one; when the tears are exhausted, we are there to help each other. If this is the case, then the changes in nature are still not enough to be feared, and the words of people are still not enough to be compassionate, and we will still gain civilization and the power to move forward.
