2008 is supposed to be a good year in Chinese eyes. “8″ should bring luck and fortune, but not quite means what it is supposed to be this year. Again, natural disaster…..Coincidently, it all happened in 2008, started from the snow storm during Chinese New Year in up north China, cyclone of Myanmar, and now developed to earthquake in Sichuan. It was horrible wild fire in Southern California last year. Such natural disaster happens from place to place and from time to time.

It’s definitely not a smooth good year to China. The news of Tibet issue is just over, then the news is totally covered by the shocking scene of earthquake. It’s so sad to see people crying badly on TV. Mothers cried for their lost children. Children cried for their lost parents. Elderly parents cried for their entire families being buried under debris. People are looking for their lost family members around the collapsed buildings. Over 10,000 of people have gone missing, but over 100,000 of people are estimated to be killed in the earthquake. 60% of population had been killed in some villages. It’s so horrible when you heard those figures. However, good news has been announced just now on the news.

Rescuers announced a piece of good news Wednesday, hailing the rescue of an eight-months pregnant woman as a “miracle,” AP reported.

Hopes are still around…..It does happen. Same miracle happened in 921 earthquake of Taipei. No matter how bad it is, there must be sunlight shine through the dark cloud I always think. So…..believe in miracle, it does happen. Miracle does happen when you don’t give up your hopes.

Chinese government is in good communication with international media about this tragedy. They are more opened up to the public about the actual figure of death. It’s a good improvement.
