I live in Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan. I was lucky because my city is a mere 92km from the quake center, and was miraculously spared from the
disaster.
I'd like to say that we really appreciate what the other countries, including America, have done to aide us in the rescue efforts.I thank you
for all the efforts and compassion you give to us.
As for the remarks of Sharon, I think it's normal that people having different opinions toward a single event, no matter how odd or offensive it
seems. We are only human, and we do differ.
Some facts must be clarified. In fact, nearly half of Sichuan's population is Tibetan, and the quake center Aba is a region composed mainly of
Tibetan and Qiang people. I just wish that Sharon could have learnt more facts before she blurred out those words, for they are really more cruel to
the Tibetans.
Whether you like or dislike China, I'd like to say that Chinese people are just like any people in the world. We are as weak as anyone in the
face of a natural disaster, and as strong as anyone in the belief of a better tomorrow.
