About the aftermath of the 512 earthquake

——More than 500 aftershocks forced more than 4 million Chengdu citizens onto the streets, but the night of Chengdu on May 12 was a special night full of warmth and care. The street was very quiet, no one was making loud noises, and no one was making any noise. Late that night, people who came to donate blood at the Linyin Street Blood Donation House in Wuhou District lined up all along the street.

——"We cannot wait or rely on it. We must first save ourselves. Only when the road is open can all kinds of disaster relief materials from the party and government arrive." Yuancitou Village is a damaged village in Wenxian County, the hardest-hit area in Gansu Province. One of the worst villages. After the earthquake, villagers helped each other build various temporary shelters; people ranging from people in their 60s to children in their 10s went to the entrance of the village carrying shovels and hoe to repair mountain roads.

——"As long as people are alive, there is hope. I will still help myself and carry out production with the help of the government." At noon on the 13th, facing the houses that were smashed by huge rocks and the roofs collapsed, Shui Fu So said Lao Yang, a villager in Fuxing Village, County. Shuifu County is the county most severely affected by earthquakes in Yunnan Province. Rural road subgrades have collapsed, walls have broken, culverts have been damaged, and mudslides have occurred frequently.

During the strong earthquake, this kind of footage allowed us to clearly see the mental state of the people in the disaster area who were calm, orderly, calm and optimistic in the face of danger. We also saw that they actively took the initiative to save themselves and resist the disaster, and shared the country's worries and solved the government's problems. Enthusiasm for fighting. The disaster is not terrible. What is afraid is that you are immersed in the pain of bereavement and cannot extricate yourself. What is afraid is that you are unable to cheer up after suffering. What is afraid is that you are confused and panicked in panic. Faced with the severe disaster, the people in the disaster area have not been frightened and have not lost their good faith. They are wiping away their tears and creating tomorrow with their own hands.

The Chinese nation's spirit of self-improvement and tenacious struggle has once again been sublimated here. Why don't we pay tribute to these simple, hard-working and brave people in the disaster area?
