章节摘录

Fudan University was resounded with 69 tolls of the Century Bronze Bell，apartfrom the wail of horns．Twenty three Sichuan students who had organized theceremony via the Internet knolled the bell，meaning it to bless their hometown．Thequake affected the families of the university's 77 undergraduates and 42 postgraduatestudents，some of them losing their beloved family members or friends forever．Rain continued for quite a while in Shenzhen．Hundreds of people——-includingelders and childrenmgathered spontaneously before the portrait Deng Xiaoping，thebest-known sight of Shennan Avenue．They all stood in silence，in spite of the rain，while their umbrellas were just placed aside．A native of Meishan of Sichuan Province，a mid-aged man surnamed Xu camefrom Longgang to the portrait by bus．The house of his family was severely damagedand his old parems still lived in a tent．Tears and rain water trickling down his cheek，he shook his fist towards the sky,“I believe that Sichuan call stand it，becauseChinese are conscientious．”Mr．Cui stood in silence before the portrait for quite a while．The dayimmediately after he left Sichuan on May 11，a part ofthat beautiful land was tornapart by the earthquake．“I was lucky，but I feel sad for those dead kids andcompatriots．For the first time I felt how close I was to death．rve come to thisparticularly meaningful place to express my respects for the dead and blessing for thesurvivors．”It was also drizzling in Hong Kong．In the HKEx’s stock exchange hall，thetraders received a notice several minutes ago that the opening bell due at 14：30would not ring on May 19．Different from three-minute mandatory suspension in the mainland stockexchanges，HKEx announced that during the mourning，its exchange system wouldoperate normally and the members might decide at discretion whether to trade or not．“We feel very sad for the severe casualties caused by the Wenchuan quake．Weexpress our deep，sincere condolences for the affected people who have lost theirrelatives and for the survivors who will have to rebuild their life．Although ourregards will not necessarily relieve their pains，we want to tell them that we sharetheir feelings．We hope this could help see them through hard times，”said HKExChief Executive Paul Chow．All the traders on the spot stood in silent tribute，bowing their heads．Meanwhilenone performed transactions．When the tribulations hit，Chengdu was far stronger than people ever imagined．At 21：00 May 18，a dozen of volunteers launched an all-city acknowledgementsignature campaign at the pedestrian plaza，Hongxing Road．Private cars and taxiesbearing a red sign“THANKS”printed in six languages including Chinese，English，Japanese and Russian were shuttling across the city．After the whistles faded away，utterances of“Go，Sichuan”still rose one afteranother at the Tianfu Square．In Tangshan，a city which suffered from similar trauma 32 years ago，more thanthree thousand people assembled spontaneously at the Square of EarthquakeMonument，and numerous taxies parked silently in queues behind the crowds．Onone side of the square was Tangshan’S“wailing wall”，engraved with“July 28，1976”．On that day，the city lost 240，000 people with another 1 60，000 severelyinjured，3,817 permanently handicapped，and 4,204 children made orphans．At 14：28，May 19，over 80 wheelchair-bound people in the TangshanParaplegics Sanatorium who lost their legs in the Tangshan Earthquake 32 years agobowed their heads in the courtyard ofthe institution．After that earthquake 32 years ago，Tangshanese had learned not to cry,becausecry might influence other people'S courage to live and let down those who helpedthem out ofthe disaster，Mr．Chen told the reporter，who lost his two sisters in thequake．At the same time，in London，more than 300 people from all walks of lifegathered in the hall ofChina's embassy in the UK and stood in silent tribute for thevictims of the Wenchuan Ea~~hquake．The embassy set up a condolence book and adonation stand,open to the public at 9：00 a．m．through 1 8：00 from May 19 to Mrdy21．Immediately after the three-minute mourning，Mr．Khalid Malik，UN ResidentCoordinator in China，went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and signed his name onthe condolence book．Embassies and consulates of many countries in Chinavoluntarily flew their flag at half-mast that day and organized mourning activities．According to Mr．Malik，the United Nations stands ready to provide long-termsuppoto help reconstruct the quake-hit areas．A three-day national mourning，announced for the first time for the ordinarypeople，reflects how the country respects and cares for lives and how the Chinesegovernment and the people cherish and protect human rights，said Professor GeJianxiong at Fudan University．A common citizen and a state leader enjoy equalaccess to human rights and their lives are equally cherished；the loss of tens ofthousands ofpeople should be mourned by the whole nation．Prof．Ge noted that，setting the national mourning is not only commemoration ofthe dead，but also a gesture of love and care in the eyes of their surviving familymembers which helps build their courage and confidence to live．It also reveals to thewhole world that，the Chinese people and the Chinese government both show greatconcern for the existence，well-being and future ofhuman beings．
