In 2008, Sichuan was devastated by an earthquake. Now, a 6.6-7
earthquake has hit Sichuan in Ya'an. I don't know too many details, but
at least 190 people have been killed, and the number keeps rising. Landslides have cut off
transportation and communication.
Many Chinese decided to volunteer and go to Ya'an to help out, but this just caused for traffic jams. It's pretty much impossible for the ambulance and other rescuers to get through. Sichuan Transportation even wrote on weibo telling people to stop coming. I find that ironic, that people wanting help are actually making things worse. -_-
What's nice about this earthquake is that all of China is caring about it. People, it seems, are not just greedy and selfish.
Godfrey Gao posted a picture of his Nikes shoes on weibo, and I saw a comment blasting him for posting that pic instead of Ya'an. I find it amazing and kind of crazy.
A lot of celebrities have also made statements saying "Jia You Ya'an, we're all with you" but I'm not sure if they actually mean it, or are just doing so for the image. Ehh...
Anyways...
PRAY FOR SICHUAN. PRAY FOR YA'AN
