Qi, which means "keep in mind", is for our own people. The victims of the Sichuan earthquake are our own people in China. National mourning means that our country takes this matter as its own business. So use ambition.

"Give, give" means. It's for someone else. Foreigners can use this word to describe our victims.

Simply put, for the victims in Wenchuan, volunteers can be used in the name of the country; In the name of an individual (not a relative of the victim), it is necessary to use it.
