First,I want to thank for the concern of Towelie and Geno.
I have seen many report about the earthquake.I find that different medias have different interest in the same ting.
The media in my country which is strictly ruled by the government pay more attention on the rescue work while the media abroad spend a lot of time on showing the world the horrible scenes in the quake.
Now I want to tell you some news that hard to get in USA.
Because the road leads to the country wenchuan(a country in the epicentre) is destroyed in the quake,the rescue people can not go into the place.Time is life.The army is going to parachute into the epicenter.This mission is extremely dangerous,and all the soldiers had writen farewell letters.
Our premier went to the epicentre right after the quake,he has kept working for more than 2 days.and by the way,he is 66 years old now.
Maybe this information can help you guys know the things here more objectively.
