首先 为灾民祈祷
另外,外电正面报道了中国政府的反应速度,和对缅甸飓风援救成巨大的反差。

More than 18,000 people were still trapped in the rubble of Sichuan's second city today as Chinese troops battled through the disaster zone to devastated towns and villages cut off by yesterday's earthquake
As the official death toll climbed past 12,000, the official Xinhua agency reported that 3,639 people had been killed in Mianyang, a city near the epicentre of the 7.9-magnitude quake. A further 18,645 were still buried in the debris of collapsed buildings, beyond the reach of rescue teams, it said.
Separately, a British travel company announced that 19 of its customers had gone missing on a panda-watching tour, although Abta said that 100 other British tourists were accounted for and had survived the massive quake.

Kuoni Travel said that the 19 tourists, with a local guide and driver, were travelling from coach from Chengdu, the provincial capital, to the Wolong nature reserve when the quake hit yesterday afternoon.
"All lines of communication to the region are down and as such no further information is known at this time," the firm said in a statement.
The Chinese authorities have sent 50,000 troops to the region, but they are struggling to reach the three counties at the mountainous heart of the worst tremor to hit China in 32 years.
Heavy rain and low cloud were preventing efforts to reach cut off towns by helicopter, and landslides have blocked roads to the remote town of Wenchuan, which bore the brunt of the earthquake.
Plans to parachute in troops and relief supplies had to be called off because of storms.
The vanguard of the relief effort, 1,300 troops and medics, arrived on foot in Wenchuan at lunchtime today, 24 hours after the quake struck the area some 60 miles Chengdu.
One local journalist said: "We understand that at every step they take, they are having to climb over landslides, piles of rock and hundreds of houses that have been smashed across the road."
In the city of Dujiangyan, about halfway between Chengdu and the epicentre, rescuers had worked frantically through the night, pulling bodies from homes, schools, factories and hospitals and lining them up on the tarmac under blue tarpaulin.

Sympathy for the victims of the earthquake, especially the poor children. But do we need to see so many graphic photos of the people who are trapped underneath rubble?

Joey Pan, Chongqing, China
An awful thing to happen. My hopes and wishes go out to the Chinese people. One thing that struck me on the news was how well prepared the authorities appeared to be.

We Chinese are strong people.
No matter what confronts us I'm sure we shall overcome!

[State-run] China View: "YICHANG, Hubei, May 13 (Xinhua) -- The Three Gorges Dam…was in normal operation despite Monday's [7.9 Richter Scale] quake…." "The dam was designed to withstand quakes up to 7 on the Richter scale...."

Good Luck. China!

I'm in Chongqing, 300 miles away from the epicenter. we have felt the earthquake wave, but everything is ok. I'm really moved by the volunteering people. Many young people in our company asked to donate blood. And we called the local Blood Bank to ask a group donating.
Christina, Chongqing, China
The receiver told us with excited and moved voice, he said many many people and units called to ask a group donating. I never expected people can do this. And many people donated money to the redcross.

My wife and I met and travelled with a Chinese lad in Italy [Tuscany] recently - we hope and pray he is well. He was going back to China at the end of last week.
Sad news !!!!
Ian Payne, WALSALL,
My heart goes out to all those who have suffered or lost loved ones as a result of this event, and those in Myanmar too.
I always try to hope that at least some good will come out of even the greatest disasters, it is hard to see what it may be at the time, but it is still my hope.
James, London, UK
At last some good decisions by the chinese,by taking a fast response to such a crisis to help those affected but I can't help thinking that the spin doctors and ministers of propaganda are using this tragedy to promote an image of caring for its citizens which is a useful distraction to human rights
Fintan McConville, Rathfriland, N.I
Chaos often breeds life,when order breeds habit.
Every little wholehearted help is the most importance for saving more lifes.

God bless my country and all the innocent people!I pray for them sincerely !
Austin, Guangzhou, china
I see the Chinese have lots of materials to help themselves. Why weren't these materials offered to Burma? So much for the great China that the Chinese seem to believe in. Sadly the Chinese people all over the world look at all things "China" through rose-tinted glasses, it's time they took them off
John Sinclair, Dundee, UK
I am shocked and profoundly saddened to watch the devastation of the earthquake in south western China. We were in Chendu only 5 month ago visiting the Giant pandas at Woolong nature reserve and the stunningly beautiful mountain sceneries. Great to see China responding quickly . So sad.
Anil jowaheer, London , England UK
i am very saddened to see this tragedy, one after another...
i am hoping that the hurt,devastated can cope thru all this.
i am heartbroken that so many have died.... but the chinese government did answer very quickly to the calls of its people
that is very commendable.....our hearts are wid you al
nathaniel fernandez, seattle, u.s.a
I fell sorry for every single life that lost in this earthquake. For some time I've tried not to worry about my people in the distant land by building a mental wall that assure me I am no longer part of the problem. I wll do whatever I can to help these people

Bless to you all!

Readers would obviously like to be kept informed about foreign aid arriving in China. According to the article, "The foreign ministry said that it welcomed offers of international aid".

It is an enormous quake, causing such a big loss. Earthquake precaution system still needs impoving. With the help all around, these earthquake-striken areas will come through the disaster soon, which I strongly believe.
caoliyan, Jinhua, china
I would just like to express my sympathy to all those affected by the earthquake and congratulate the Chinese government on its quick and effective response, I hope the Burmese Junta are feeling shamed as China shows them how a government should respond to a such a disaster.
Michael, Nottm, UK
If you wish to donate but cannot access the Red Cross Society of China website, the British Red Cross has also set a webpage for a China Quake Donation.
Someone mentioned that it's possible to donate blood: could you please pass on more info? Where about here in Beijing?
Luca, Beijing, China
I was so shocked to know about the quake in my homeland. it is poignent to see so many people devastated...I feel awlful that I am not able to go there and help out by my own hands. Wish the victims and rescuers all the best and I shall do all I can. W e can get through it. Yes, we can.

This was really a shock for all the chinese people!
This year China has already been confronted with a lot of chanlleges, but fortunately she has done well. This time i believe with the 1.3 billion people standing together and helping each other, she can also make it.
Best wish for sichuan,!
YuAina , jinhua, China
I am overwhelmed with sadness for the poor people of the Schezuan province who have been badly hit by this earthquake. I was in Chengdu a little over a week ago, and now I am praying for success for the rescue teams, and for the relatives and friends who have lost their loved ones.
Jonny, Orlando, US
I am British and in Guangzhou, China at the moment. I am glad that China is accepting all the help that is offered and I am shocked at some of the rather hurtful things said about the Chinese people. This Nation has had more than its share of natural disasters this year but the people are resilient
Derek Beardsall, Guangzhou, China
We have such a devoted premier, we have 1.3 billion countryman, we have full confidence to conquer this diaster.

It is very sad to hear this disaster and people who suffered in this natural disaster mainly are minority ethnic groups like Tibetan. Hope the China's government rescue all people that suffered ASAP. Bless China

Believe Chinese People!
Beelieve Chinese Government!
Calmness and Braveness will help us conquer every difficulty!
Carter, beijing,
May the almighty Lord be with the Chinese. What's really touching is the response of China's primier Wen Jia Bao, who devoted himself to the frontline as soon as he noticed the outbreak of the disaster.
Andrew, Beijing,
Ms Jane Macartney , thank you for your excellent coverage and hard work.
I'm not in my country, but i feel the pain, I pray there is less death.
For people who want to help, please log on Red Cross Socity of China, they have started a Quake Donation, but the site are very slow at the moment.

Believe our government.
Ben, Nanning, China

Pat - who typed your sick thoughts in for you ?
Matthew - Cork is in the Eire not Northern Ireland - they've had peace for quite a while and obviously some genetic problems !
Andy, New Plymouth, New Zealand
See, that's why it is shame for westerners to lecture others about "human" rights. So you should get the jobs but chinese shouldn't? You get to waste oil but it's wrong for chinese to buy oil? Now i don't feel bad for whoever died in ireland potatos famine, you know, just millions less wasting oil.
alan, beijing,
Nice matt. Turn a tragic story into an excuse to knock ireland. You should learn to ignore the pat's of the world.
aine, dublin,
My thoughts and prayers are with those affected in China.
Pat of Ireland, I hope your Guinness factory falls on your head.
Miguel, Hobart, Australia
Bless for my country! All the colleage students like us will donate our blood for the disaster areas. I have done it this morning , i hope i will do some help to the people needed.
Weiguang, hefei, China
Yesterday at roughly 2 pm I felt dizzy, then realized it was the earthquake when my co-workers told me about it. Here in Beijing it was rather mild; I had no idea it was so bad. I hope the death toll ceases to mount at 8700. I also hope the Chinese have all the help they need.
Anthony, Beijing,
