Rebecca's space

2008/5/12, 14:28, our country mother suffered her biggest loss ever since I started my memory. So far, 34073 of her children died (still counting); 9500 are still buried in the ruins; 245108 are injured; millions of them become homeless... It is more than a tragedy. For every Chinese, it is a nightmare.

2008/5/19, 14:28, we stood up and 3-minute silence started for mourning to our lost brothers and sisters. Everything stopped; people stood on the streets, beside their desks, got together on the square. I cannot hear anything but the long air raid siren and car horns. Actually it is my first time to hear real air raid siren. It sounds so sad to me. Tears welled up in my eyes. In the silence I am murmuring "Farewell" to them, at the entrance to the heaven, "Don't be afraid! We will always be with you." The deceased left but the lived will remember them for ever.

That 3 minutes was such a short and long time for me today. When it passed, I still felt silence around me; no one was saying. When I sit down in front of my laptop, my eyes were still blurred with tears. But the miserable time will pass; I believe tomorrow will be better!
