Refugees Assulted After Questioning Relief Supplies


An 70 years old lady was beaten when she questioned a group of people on apparent misuse of relief supplies. On May 20, 2008, a group of people were witnessed partying in a relief tent on the May First Square of Mianyang. When an old lady approached and questioned the source of the tent, several guys beat the old lady, and assaulted by-passers who denounced the brutality. Soon hundreds of refugees who had been camping on the square surrounded the mobs and blocked their way out. The mobs were able to leave only with local police escort.

The Chinese government had vowed to keep track of the relief donations and supplies. However, every time a misuse of relief supply case surfaced, the government would claim it couldn't found those thefts involved. This time the government would have no excuse because the alerted Chinese Netizens had dug out the name and address of one of the crooks. The world will watch want would happen, which is the real metric of whether the Chinese government back up its big mouth with real action.

There is no excuse if the police can't locate the crook. The name on the registration of the car left behind by one of the mobs was Fan Xiaohua, his address is 4-5-8, 208 Huayuanzhong Rd, Zhongba Township, Jiangyou. The license plate of the car was Chuan-BD3732.

Another donated tent stolen, and another innocent people beaten by party officials for questioning their behavior. Ten days had passed, and now, the world is watching.

Media Censured for Revealing Corruption in Quake Relief

The manager of the Chengdu Business Daily (Chengdu Shang Bao)'s Search-All (Quan Sou) web was fired, and the Chengdu Media Group was censured after the website revealed corruptions in the relief operation, notably donated tents on black markets. The CCP's propaganda department issued three memos today to news media to prohibit any negative coverage of the relief operation. Any offense will be punished with zero tolerance.

3 Minutes of Silence


The above graph representing usage of Google's Chinese search engine was revealed by Fang Kun, an engineer of the Google Product Engineering Institute in China, on his blog.

Chinese all the world observed a three minutes of silence on 14:28 May 19, 2008, a week from the struck of the deadliest earthquake in 30 years which claimed more than 50,000 victims in the south western Sichuan province.

Protesting Chengdu Residents Tear Gased by Police


A Chengdu resident climbed on the top of car to take a picture of the police woman, No. 006677.

It had been raining like no end in the disaster area after the Sichuan Earthquake, and refugees had to stay overnight on the street in cold rain. Where had those tents donated by people around the world gone? No detective is needed, they were stolen.

Police used tear gas on people protesting officials stealing donated tents. The incident started when self-appointed Netizens mobilized to find out the truth behind numerous relief supply tents appeared in stores on Chengdu streets. Chengdu is not a disaster area of this earthquake, but these tents are all relief supplies that were not for sale. Some of the tents found on black markets were donated from foreign countries.

Police forces were dispatched to suppress the protesting people who discovered a location of illegal retail place on Beisen Road. When more than 870,0000 affected by the quake do not have a tent for the night and the government placed the up most priority on getting in more tents, it's understandable the situation was explosive already. The bomb was ignited when a police woman, No. 006677 (police woman in the picture taken by protectors) told the protectors that they did not have a say on corruptions, and beat some of the protectors.

Soon many angry Chengdu residents came to confront the

police woman, No. 006677

, and demanded an apology. Instead of issuing an apology, the police chose to use tear gas to disperse the protectors. Around 30-40 policemen were seen beating Chengdu residents with batons. Many women, children and elderly people were beaten by the police, just because they happened to be witnesses of corruptions in the earthquake relief.

It would be the first time Chengdu residents were tear gased by police after the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.

In one sense, foreign government and organizations should stopped donating tents to China. If they stop sending tents, then corrupted communism officials will have nothing to steal, then innocent people will not be beaten by police. In the least, anyone who still wants to donate needs to get an answer from the Chinese government first: Who is the police women No. 006677? Who are the police women No. 006677 trying to cover? Who ordered the use of tear gas on people who dare to point out officials corruption? How were the 40 Chengdu policemen rewarded for beating protectors?

Common Heros: Lei Chusheng

Lei Chusheng, 15 years old. Lei is a senior of the Cifeng (Magnetic Peak) Middle School in Pengzhou. When the earthquake struck, he was in the classroom on the second floor, second room from the stairs. It took him fraction of a second to rush over 10 meters to the stairs, when he saw his faculty mentor rushing up from outside. Lei realized the teacher must be coming for other students. With little hesitation, he turned back.

He checked the first room, empty. Then he was back to his classroom, where he found 7 classmates were crouching along a wall, in fear and not knowing what to do. He shouted 'follow me, run', then led the school to safety outside. He counted, only 6 were with him. Not willing to left anyone behind, he rushed back to the falling building. He found the 7th classmate, a girl Ou Jing who was too frightened that she refused to move. The building was falling and Lei had no time to argue with Ou. So he carried Ou on his shoulders out of the classroom. Lei was exhausted. Fortunately, Ou collected herself and started walking down carefully. Lei followed Ou, but was blocked by a sudden fallen stair. He was able to come out from a tree outside a window, an escape route he identified while he was searching for other students. The building collapsed a couple of seconds after Lei and Ou reached outside, before they reached the playground.

Thanks to Lei, only one classmate in his class died of the earthquake.

Common Heros: Lin Hao

http://vsearch.cctv.com/play_plgs.php?sref=tvprogramme_20080520_6278376&ref=tvprogramme_20080520_6278376

9 years old Lin Hao was an elementary school student in Yinshui County. He didn't just run for safety when the earthquake struck, but carried a classmate who was hit to unconscious from the rubble, then went back to carry out another classmate who was unconscious out to safety. He was hit on his shoulder the second time.

Having lost both parents, he fled the quake with his 14 years old big sister and another little sister, hiked 7 hours to Dujiangyan.

Common Heros: He Cuiqing


Thirteen year old He Cuiqing is a freshman in Muyu (Wooden Fish) Middle School of Qingchuan County, Sichuan Province. She was outside in an open ground when the earthquake struck. However, she rushed back to her dormitory to wake up her classmates who were having a nap. More than 10 students were able to run out, before she was hit when the building collapsed. Cuiqing was the last person to be rescued alive in the school after 50 hours buried in rubbles.

He Cuiqing lost her legs, but she said the only regret she had was not being able to save more classmates, when she was interviewed at bedside in Guangyuan Central Hospital. Then she started crying for lost friends.

Where Did Quake Relief Resource Go



The spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Chen Gang asked the international society keep up help in supplying relief resources, with tents the highest priority and emergency. However, people have to ask where there are already too many tents sent in that they started appearing in unrelated areas and black markets for cheap, while the Chinese authorities are doing nothing about it.

Where did quake relief resource go? Wherever they go, they did not go to those who are in need. While people are suffering in the disaster area, and while people in the rest of the world are reaching deep in their pockets, many relief resources were found in placed they shouldn't belong.

A self-appointed task force formed by Chengdu Netizens was promptly mobilized to find out who is behind the numerous relief tents appeared in some luxury housing properties. Not only did they find many blue tents distributed by the Chinese Interior Ministry (the blue tent on the red, found in the Chinese Communism Party Sichuan Provincial Institute), but even those donated by the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (the white tent on the left found in Chengdu Garden). They appeared not only in some upscale housing communities (Yinxing Forest, Wanke City Garden, Shangdong Second Phase, to name a few), but also the Sichuan Province Communism Party Institute.

They also witnessed some people who are selling quake relief resources at Wanfuqiao. They were physically threatened when confronting with the crooks. They called the police a few times, but the police didn't arrive until all the bad guys were gone.

It was raining heavily again in the disaster areas. Refugees, those injured, rescue workers and soldiers alike do not have enough tents, but tents donated by the people around the world were selling on the black market. These has been going on for almost a week, with boiling angers filled on Internet forums, but where are the authorities? Busy counting money? Some heads got start rolling!

[灾区消息]一个什邡中学同学写的(转载)

http://cache.tianya.cn/publicforum/content/help/1/156838.shtml

作者:MOSTCARD 提交日期:2008-5-20 0:35:00

  1.在17号何明俊在给方小方汇报工作时说什邡的救灾安置工作已基本结束.这条消息在什邡报上能看到.不算造谣吧.那请问还有成千上万的人被埋在废墟里.你何明俊就是这样安置的吗?   
  
  2.在总理来的那天到龙居视察灾情.正在问这学校情况怎么样.死了多少人.别人校长正准备回答.何明俊一口抢着说:情况不严重.我们有能力自救.总理问你是哪位.他说:我是这个镇上的一个工作人员.   
  
  3.16号有一卡车物资送过来.到了政府那些人说送到民政局.到了民政局那些人说我们不需要这些东西.然后别人就开车到60米大街看到那有很多帐篷.于是下车问需不需要这些物资.当时正是人事局的自愿者在那.他们说我们很需要.那车主说我们送到政府和民政局都说不需要呢.在卸过之后.本来人事局工作人员要给对发写个凭条.结果别人说我们不要.我们是自发组织来的.(要证实本消息随便问人事局的一个人就知道了)   
  
  4.就是之前说的民政局听到有人捐1千万就用五粮液招待还叫工作人员去备餐.那些人说我们不用吃了.我们还要去彭州送物资.一听说是物资民政局说我们不需要物资.于是两千万的物资全部送到了彭州.到了彭州民政局别人说我们正需要这些物资.卸了之后给别人拿来盒饭说这几天只能吃这个不好意思啊.吃了之后民政局工作人还说这里很危险请你们快点离开这里吧.(吧里有些朋友都知道.我也是什邡人.我是在外读大学的.当时在外面看到这个消息我还是不信.还帮那些不信的人说话.结果昨天回来证实(证实过程不方便明说)是真的我真是心酸啊   
  
  5.昨天去一家店扯油布.有个从红白下来的灾民也在.他说今天哪个官员要来啊.把我们下来的路都给我们堵了.到处都有人守着叫我们绕道走.(听后感:灾民不该第一时间疏散吗?那为什么不让别人走.到底想隐瞒什么?到底怕别人看到什么?)   
  
  在大难来临的时候我真的不想散乱民心.不然我肯定昨天就发了.但是如果再不将这些事说出来.我心里真的过意不去.我觉得对不起父老乡亲.有人会问我为什么不去举报.我打过电话了.12380省委组织部专用举报的.可惜没人接.如果有人知道其他举报电话或省及以上或大型媒体的电话.请告诉我.谢谢!

   同是灾民,都江堰,绵阳等地的人民的境遇为什么能那么周全安稳,人家都住上政府统一安置的活动房了,这边却连尸体都还被扔在冰冷的山石下。矿井里...好官员累得声嘶力竭,有些官员却能说出“这不该我们管...”关乎人命,不能善罢!记得总理的那句话“是人民在养着你们”......我为什邡的官员感到可耻!

   什邡~~!我该怎么救你
  
  
   什邡是本次地震的重灾区,但上报的信息极不属实,受灾人数不比其他灾区少,而且学校垮塌数所,伤亡学生人数远远超过电视播报。灾民生活极其艰难,灾民得不到和绵竹等灾区相同的救助。
  
希望全国各族同胞能关注什邡,将什邡受灾群众的真实灾情公布于大众,什邡人民感谢你们!!!

   注:什邡不是德阳!受灾严重的蓥华镇、红白镇,洛水,不是德阳蓥华和德阳红白,德阳洛水,而是什邡的乡镇

什邡这次该死的狗官太多了!!!!
  1.最改死的何明俊!!-----为何要隐瞒实情???为何要在灾后两天抗不住了被上头发现才开始报???又为何一直以1/1000比例报告死亡人数???
  所以什邡还没被列为重灾区!!!所以什邡山上灾民现在还缺吃缺喝!!!所以救济款只有很少在什邡!!!所以灾后两天才有部队上山救人!!!所以什邡灾情在各大新闻很少被关注!!!
  2.还该死的民政局!!!-----什么叫酒池肉林???!!!!什么叫助纣为虐???!!!什么叫"朱门酒肉臭,路有冻死骨"????!!!
  什邡民政局就是最真实的解释!!!
  3.害人命的交通局!!!-----修路没有错,却为什么上山的路全被挖得稀烂??两条并行上山的路同时被挖???整条整条路全挖???而不是一半一半挖???
  所以,上山救援很慢很难!!!!所以,重伤,偏重伤一路颠簸下来,还有几个存活????!!!
  什邡人民请团结起来吧,为了我们自己的乡亲们,处死这些狗官吧!!!!!

That Pen in His Little Hand





Because of many reasons, school kids sacrificed the most. Many promising lives were frozen in the moment when they were absorbing knowledge in their classrooms, before they got a chance to thrive. When a little body or a little girl were dug out of rubbles, we saw one thing in common, the pen in that little hand.



China, Hold On!
China, Be Strong!
China, Never Give Up!
China, China, We are so proud of you!

Common Heros: Kang Jie

Kang Jie is an 11 years old girl of Yingxiu Elementary. When the earthquake struck, she was in a classroom on the sixth floor. The teacher told all students to run. At first she hided under a desk, then she decided to jump out of the window, "I tried to make my butts hit the ground", she recalled. With luck, or whatever miracle, she was almost unhurt, with only scratches on her legs.

Next, when she found herself was able to move, she ran into the falling building to search for survivors. Because teachers stayed behind, most injured left in the building are teachers. She pulled many teachers out of the rubble.

Kang Jie's mother is Yang Xiuxiang, a 41 years old insurance agent. Kang Jie was rescued by helicopter to a hospital in Chengdu. Because only patients can be air-lifted, Yang Xiuxiang was not allowed to go with her daughter. Kang Jie's father died of the earthquake.

You can Count On Me

11 years old Zhang Jiwan carried his 3 years old sister Zhang Han, hiked 10 hours to get out of the mountains after the earthquake.

Indestructible Schools


There are no indestructible buildings, but five schools stood solid after the Sichuan earthquake, while more than 700 other schools collapsed into rubbles. In many cases, the only building collapsed in a town would be the school. While people are seeking an explanation, this article gives us a clue.


北川邓家“汉龙小学”无一死亡奇迹背后的真相 2008-05-19 07:01:21

我已经很难复原5月12日14时28分北川邓家小学的完全细节,但从邓丽君的叙述中仍然知道:由于从小患上小儿麻痹症,左腿行动不便的邓丽君一直是被允许在课前十分钟整理活动中下楼上厕所的,那天她独自地缓缓下楼,从三层楼高的教室里刚刚走到空地,刚看到太阳影子,地就开始吼,开始动。

她拼命开始跑,虽然效率不高,仍然连滚带爬到达旁边的竹林,又听到体育老师在叫“快到操场”,就和另几个女生跑到操场,三分钟后,这里就聚齐了全校483名学生。

后来我们设想,小儿麻痹的邓丽君真幸运,要是那天她课前没因身体原因去上厕所,也许会被挤倒,也许情急之下会跳楼,也许会有什么不测,如果这样,一个奇迹就不会出现了,奇迹是——在单位地域死伤最严重的北川大地震中,虽然北川一中教学楼迅速淹没二千多名学生,但邓家小学483名都学生一个都没有少。

而且,以肖晓川带队的9名老师携无家长认领的71名学生历经两天一夜,在无水无粮无工具的情况下,先是困守一处山坡,后来翻越水洞子、景家山、杨柳坪三座(之前媒体报道成两座)海拨最高达2000多米的大山,其中还有一名4岁多的学前班孩子,最后到达绵阳。

关于那个71名学生翻山逃生的奇迹一直被流传,这两天,我一直在绵阳至北川转悠,我只想告诉更多的细节,少一些形式化的英雄色彩,多一点真实的人性色彩。

那天同一时间,肖晓川正在办公室看书,发现书动得厉害,另一侧的吴少先正在教学楼巡视,学校负责人的他俩很害怕,但拼命开始吼“快到操场”……我不知道他们怎么能那么科学的组织学生逃生,后来向逃生专家询问过,包括蹲下、靠两侧下楼,进入操场以及后来制作简易帐篷,都符合逃生标准手册,但他们从来没学过,现在也不知道这就是标准逃生手册。

我觉得这个长途迁徒的故事很像《黄石的孩子》,韩寒说很像他曾经看到过的一个抗战时把动物园动物们转移到大后方的电影,在交谈中我发现中间并不像记者们写的那么大无畏,是种革命的浪漫主义情节,他们有怀疑、恐惧、绝望、麻木,但最后他们坚持下来了,没有伟大胜利,但修成无量功德。

借住在绵阳中学英才学校一处过道里,这样更安全,也利用心理有创伤的孩子们从灾难环境中恢复。据说昨天又有余震,孩子们逃跑的速度和秩序比上一次好多了,他们已很有避难经验了,想想都心痛

肖晓川在四川卫视和中央台里已说了很多,但他私下向我承认一句从未对记者说过的话,“那时我很害怕,很害怕,我说是世界末日来了,我想活不过今天了”,旁边的吴少先说他也很害怕,“那架势,完全让人莫得法镇定,真的就是快死了,我以为自己活不过今天了”,这是一个真实的人性,而不是这两天记者们简单讴歌的英雄形象,但是前者更有说服力。因为他们最后带着孩子们逃出来了。

蹲在操场里仍很危险,看山下县城已夷为平地,山上还有泥石流,地面还有余震,“要活命就必须向高处转移”,这是一个简单的逻辑,经过观察发现远处有一个缓缓的山坡暂时不会被淹没,他们动员学生一起上去了。虽然肖晓川从没有砍过竹子,但那天他去砍了很多竹子,吴少先跑到废墟里捡了几块农民常用的编织口袋布,靠着山丫子以三角原理做了一个帐篷,他们从未做过帐篷,帐篷面积太小,483名学生只能背靠背坐了一夜,一动都不能动。

如果另外有人看见黑暗中的那个光景,一定会震憾——483名孩子躲在一个狭小的简易帐篷下一动不动,沉默不语,四周山石滚动发出巨大的响声,雨哗哗地下着,大地在颤动,孩子们很像躲避风暴的的羊羔,而老师就是牧羊人。

“山上一点光亮都没有,完全黑了,很恐怖”,再后来,居然有一些孩子却开始叽叽喳喳“摆条”(摆龙门阵),邓丽君对我叙述时一直在微笑,她说她们当晚在回忆谁怎么跑下楼的,谁还摔一跤,打趣谁还哭了喊妈妈……她还告诉我她很喜欢自己的名字。

见证过无数灾难的优秀记者唐建光说,其实“灾难”永远不会是想像中那种情景,这次我明白了,特别是人类的情绪,人总会在极度灾难下缓和自己的情绪。

李主任为我们提供的英才中学为受灾学生准备的课程表,他说,里面有很多开导心理的课程

我曾经很不理解9名老师要带着71名学生翻山越岭,而不是就地等待,后来知道,“我们理解县领导啊,他们还得救埋在下面的人,一时顾不到我们了,我们只能自己救自己”。关于徒步翻山逃生的决定没有任何争论,虽然很危险,但留下来更危险,只有赌了。

他们的逃生路线是:水洞子——景家山——杨柳坪,是依次上升的三座大山,,除了余震和山体裂缝、泥石流、暴雨外,因海拨高会出现高山反应,而且有一大片原始森林。

中途有一个女老师因挂念婆婆退出了,人们理解她,有一个叫吴明艳的老师有严重气喘,在山上脸发青快死的样子,人们问她“行不行”,她说“一定要走下去,不能死在这里”。他们继续走着。

震后的异象出现了,“第二天白天时,天突然完全暗下来了,就像黑夜一样,一点光都看不到,就是伸手不见五指”,他们突然发现黑森林里一大片怪异的挥之不去的浓雾扑来,两米之外根本看不见同伴,昨天他们请我理解他们的迷信,因为那阵势太可怕了,完全就像一个巨大的鬼魂扑来,“阴冷,冷到骨头里去了,农村里有这样的传说,所以我们很怕这个巨大的东西把人的魂勾走了,勾走了魂就没命了,所以我们就让学生们互相大声喊叫着名字,然后大声地答应着,这不仅是壮胆,是让互相知道还活着,还有人气,让那东西拿我们莫得办法,不把魂把我们勾走了”。

我没有忍心去问孩子们关于父母和那场灾难的细节,怕引起心理刺激,拍照时,我告诉女孩们:你们那两天真勇敢,你们是英雄,现在太阳出来了,一起说茄子,让我看看你们雪白的牙齿好吗,她们很可爱,纷纷露出洁白的牙齿,连一直很自闭的邓青也第一次露齿大笑起来

他们就这样大声的在林子里叫着,他们的魂果然没被勾走,很久之后,他们走出那片巨黑色的浓雾。

剩下的山路更难,当地有句话是“养女莫嫁景家山”,是说这段路太难走把女儿嫁过去连路都走不得,还有一句话是“男人要穿脚马子”,就是说男人走这段路都得穿着一种用篾条编的东西才不会掉下悬崖。

山体已经出现裂缝,旁边有泥石流在下流,更要命的是,原来依稀还记得的山和路,这时却和以往不一样了,他们很奇怪,“山形变了,本来记得是往上走的路,发现却变成往下走了,本来是左转的,却变成了往上走,要是按原来的方向走就会掉到悬崖下”,当天晚上,我们才知道这是因为印度洋板块对喜马拉雅山的山体冲击,造成了类似造山运动的变化。

昨天听说一个有真实意味的笑话,地震那天,有两个北川老太太正站在靠得很近的山丫子上摆龙门阵,正讲着东家长西家短时,就觉得必须说得很大声说对方才听得见,一看,原本十几米的山丫子距离变成了近一百米远,这就是山体变化;有营救者在震后在灾区看见一座山,问农民为什么对面这座山一棵树都不长,那么新,农民想了想,说:“新吗?很新,我也是第一天看见它”。

中间睡着的红衣女孩叫邓青,她父母在地震中双亡,这几天她很自闭,睡觉时也总是双手紧紧环抱,心理医生说这证明她没有安全感

因为泥泞,这段路上鞋越走越少,每过一会都有人喊鞋丢了,但人却一个都没有减少,最小的只有不到5岁,大的就拉着小的跑,老师们还帮着找鞋,偷农家的鞋。

两天一夜他们71名学生加8名老师的食物是两袋夹心饼干,和几瓶水,“怎么吃?我们老师用手指给每个人掐一小块,让学生只能喝一小口,这叫吊命,留着元气就可以活命,前头的人在吃时,排在队列后面的学生吞口水的声音都能听得见,那时候,我们老师眼泪一下就流下来了”,肖晓川说。

我问他们一路上怎么鼓励学生,“除了坚持就是胜利,就是哄他们骗他们,大部份学生都没去过山下的绵阳,我们一路上就喊,加油啊,绵阳有好多糖等着你们,还有冰激凌,还有面包,可乐,那些娃娃小,就流着口水跟着跑,我们还说下面有警察叔叔在等着你们,山里的孩子平时看电视都知道警察叔叔是专门救人的,崇拜他们,就拼命往山下跑”。

令人悲凉的是,中途碰到过两家有能力收留学生的地方,但主人拒绝了,由于种种原因,我没有得到这两家店的名字。

到了营救地点后,其实第一时间也根本没有传说中的糖,冰激凌……人们确实太忙了。

经过两天一夜,翻山越岭的孩子们在老师带领下终于看见任家坪收费站,看见正在那里搜救的指挥部,当时北川县金大中县长问“你们有多少人活着”,肖晓川说“一个都没有少”,金县长惊呆了,说“我们都以为你们全部都不在了”。

那天晚上孩子很困,坐在大巴上睡死过去,摇都摇不醒,但是车到绵阳时,体力已到极度虚脱的孩子们却兴奋异常,没有一个愿意去睡觉——对于这群山里长大的孩子们而言,这是他们出生之后看到的第一个大都市,虽然绵阳也被地震遭到破坏,但孩子们仍惊讶这个城市的漂亮,就像天堂。从地狱来的孩子,看到什么地方都像天堂。

左为吴少先,右为肖晓川,感谢他们。对了,他们及学生们穿得很新,这因为汉龙集团在绵阳为所有人买了整套新衣,肖晓川说,他从来没穿过这么高档的衣服

昨天我在绵阳中学看到这些孩子,他们大多很快乐,我问过学校老师为什么这样,宣传部李主任介绍了这几天他们制订的心理课,包括“注意力转移”“渲泄”“武术”“看猫和老鼠”……但一个老师说,这也是因为孩子们到现在为止没有看到过死人,换成北川中学的幸存者,肯定不会这么快乐,这么容易恢复情绪。为邓家小学的孩子们没看到过死人感到幸福。

故事到这里还没有进入真正的核心,因为,如果那天邓家小学像北川一中那样在几秒钟内就被震垮,后来的成为传说的长途翻越也就不存在,那天一个学生都没有死,甚至没有什么重伤,我了解到,那座十年来正式名字叫“汉龙希望小学”的教学楼不仅楼没有垮,奇迹是,连教学楼正面那块长十几米、高三层楼的玻璃幕墙一小块都没有碎,与在这场大地震学校教学楼动辄压死几百名学生相比,这是一个奇迹,我很好奇,这是谁修的房子?

于是我知道一个叫“汉龙集团”的公司,它是在十年前出资捐赠邓家小学的企业,老板叫“刘汉”,总经理叫“孙晓东”,经办监理学校修建工程的人是当时的集团办公室主任,学校里很多人在谈及这场幸运的逃生时,都在感谢这位监工的“办工室主任”,昨晚我找到这位办公室主任,他讲了一些故事,但坚决不让我透露他的姓名,也不要表扬他,因为他不想引起不必要的麻烦。因此下面我只能用X先生来代指为什么“汉龙希望小学”在这次大地震中成为唯一没有压死学生的学校?或者说奇迹最开始的一步是什么,我得知以下内情:

一、十年前,刘汉和孙晓东对下属X先生说,“亏什么不能亏教育,这次你一定要把好质量关,要是楼修不好出事了,你就从公司里走人吧”。

二、十年前一天,监理工程的X发现施工公司的水泥有问题,含泥土太多,因为X曾经是生产水泥的一家公司的副老总,经他手灌注的水泥至少有五十万吨,是绝对的行家,所以他要求施工公司老总必须把沙子里的泥冲干净,也不能用扁平的石子,从建筑专业而言,扁平石子混在水泥灌注过程中是灾难,水泥结实度大打折扣,他对施工队大发雷霆,愣让他们把沙子里的泥冲干净,把扁平石头全部拣走。

三、一次会议中,他在追问工期拖延时,发现施工公司负责人眼神不对,才得知原来是有关方面的款项没有及时到位。按捐赠原则,企业捐款必须先到当地有关部门,再由有关部门把企业的钱下发到具体施工公司中去,但施工公司并没有从有关部门及时拿到钱(具体人们想必都能猜到,这可是中国式惯例),于是X先生又发火了,穷追不舍,终于让款项到位。

四、在奠基仪式上,由于某个原因工期又得拖延,X又发火了,他找到有关部门,据理力争,9月19日,学校终于平出一块崭新漂亮的操场,他说看到那块操场铺平后很开心,而那块操场,就是十年后483名学生逃生的地方。

那段时间人们总能听到X在吵架,在发火,在追款项,当我对他核对这个事实时,他要求我一定要在“吵架”上加上引号,否则引起不必要的麻烦。

我想我已没必要说得太多,一个深知捐赠中国希望小学潜规则的人士说,虽然学生们全部逃生是个奇迹,但汉龙集团的X先生能够通过“吵架”把钱“吵”到正规用途上更是个奇迹,在往常,吵架根本没用,钱还是不能够及时到位……(这里恕我暂时不能直言)

由于X先生反复叮嘱我不能写他的名字,所以我们在邓家“汉龙希望小学全部成功逃生”的故事后,就只能记住以下名字:刘汉、孙晓东、肖晓川、吴少先、陈世荣,罗中会,母贤莹,沈长树,赵义辉,母广兰,吴明艳。

刚才,X先生给我发来一则短信,未经他同意,我就刊发在我博上,目的是让有的人有的部门看看,也提醒以后有人想修希望小学的人看看:

打扰您了,可以负责的告诉你,绵阳五所希望小学建设均由我经办,而此次大地震未能撼动一幢,巍然屹立!师生未损毫发!请你来绵阳做客!

这次邓家汉龙小学无一人死亡成为一个奇迹,让我明白一个道理:所谓奇迹——就是你修房子时能在十年前,想到十年后的事情。

NetEase Terminated Partnership with China Red Cross

Netease (Nasdaq: NTES) issued an announcement to terminate partnership with China Red Cross in the earthquake relief operation after China Red Cross refused to make the amount of donations available to the public. Effective 22:00 of May 14, 2008, donations made through Netease will be passed to other charities that accept openness. China Red Cross is the original designated beneficiary.

It is not rare to see disaster relief money fail to reach the hands of victims. In a publicized incident after a disaster in 2003, in a RBM 59,060,000 relief grant from the National government, only RMB 500,000 reached hands of victims after two years.

Where did your donation go? In this picture posted by a Netizen of Shifang, a tent printed 'RELIEF' appeared in an area not suffered from the earthquake last week.

One Qinghua University student was banned from using the campus forum for 14 days, because he post a message asking how much of the donation will be used on actual relief.

They Are Even Lower Than Nazi


茅于轼:纳粹都不如
茅于轼 观察 2008年05月17日
看过这样一个故事。一个善于奔跑跳跃的野生羊群,被猎人们逼上了崖顶,前面是峭壁,回头是猎人的猎枪。从崖顶到对面的山峰,是任何一个最强壮的公羊也无法跳过去的。猎手们安逸地欣赏着这些即将到手的战利品,羊群经过短暂的骚动复归平静。惊人的一幕发生了,羊群里的羊自己组合,两两搭配,一只大公羊配一只小羊,或一只强壮的公羊与一只母羊结合,一对对先后向对面无法企及的山峰跳跃过去,当大公羊跃到最远的极限,正下坠落时,与它一起跳跃的小羊或母羊,以它脊背为踏板,猛力蹬踏,再度跃起,跳到山崖对面的山峰。而那只作为跳板的,自我牺牲,摔到崖下尸骨无存。一些小羊和母羊逃脱而生存,一个生命群落得以延续。

一个物种要延续他的生命,都知道保护他孩子的生命。类似的例子,在动物界数不胜数,当家牛群遇到狼群的围攻时,牛群会摆一个圆形的战阵,最外是年轻的公牛,用牛角与狼战斗,里一层是母牛,最里面是他们的孩子。蚁群过河时,用自己的身体勾连成一个中空的球体,中空里是它们刻意保护的幼蚁。种群、族群,都是通过这种牺牲、保护而延绵不绝。

有部美国人拍的二战影片,说的是一队纳粹敢死队化装成美国盟军,深入到盟军腹地执行特殊任务。他们在驻地与当地人和睦共处,有个驻地的小男孩不慎掉进了水槽,眼看就要被转动的水车给绞死。一个年轻的纳粹队员跳下水槽救起了那个小男孩,自己却死了,而且被水车绞烂了外面盟军的军服,露出里面的纳粹服装,暴露了身份,整个行动也前功尽弃。保护和拯救弱小生命,是人类的共性。即使是纳粹军人,也保持了基本的人性没有完全泯灭。作为敌对方的美国,也没有漠视和抹杀个别纳粹军人的人的本性。

在这次川北地震中,我们看到了闪光的人性。有老师用脊梁保护四个学生的生命,也有一对父母以身体为屏障保护自己三岁的孩子,还有更多的救援人员和解放军战士日夜不停地搜救废墟下有可能活着的孩子。那些埋在废墟下的孩子牵动着我们的心,那些搜救人员感动着我们,使我泪溢眼眶。我擦拭溢出的泪水,情愿以后再也不用为救援人员和解放军战士感动;情愿以后不再为学生们、孩子们的生命而揪心。

"再穷不能穷教育,再苦不能苦孩子"这句口号已经喊了几十年。我不知道这是一句陈述句、还是知耻后勇的表决心、或者是无法企及的理想。但我决不敢怀疑是执政者自我讽刺的单口相声。然而,阜阳市一个区政府建了一个媲美白宫的政府大楼,却把一所学校拆毁搬迁至危房上课,并乞求日本的国际组织捐助建校办教育。其实不穷,却自己豪奢置仍是孩子的学生于危险,既穷了教育更苦了孩子。一句喊了几十年的口号成了尖刻的讽刺,不将讽刺当羞辱,却用来遮羞,我认为这样的执政者是一个族群的瘟疫。

多年前,在克拉玛依,一句"让领导先走,"使300多个鲜活的孩子瞬间葬身火海,执政的领导们安然无恙,事后还是安然无恙。一个不懂得保护自己的同类、幼小生命的群体是没有希望的。他们不如某些纳粹、不如牛羊、甚至不如虫蚁。他们给这个族群带来的,将会是灾难性的后果。

川北地震,倒塌的学校有:四川都江堰市聚源中学、都江堰市向峨乡中学、重庆市梁平县文化镇一小学、重庆市梁平县礼让镇中心小学、文化镇小学教学楼、德阳市实古镇中心小学、莹华镇中心小学和中学、八角镇中心小学、洛水镇中心小学。而政府大楼依然耸立。我没有让政府人员陪死的恶意,只是不解,为什么在同一个城市,都经过设计、建筑、监理的程序;都使用同一片蓝天下的水泥、钢筋和砖块,学校的教学楼偏偏就塌成了废墟,而政府大楼却高傲地耸立。

不可否认,政府大楼的设计者、建设者和监理人员都不是政府人员,大楼决不是执政者一砖一瓦建起来的。教学楼同样也不是政府人员更不是老师和学生设计、建设和监理的。政府大楼和教学楼全由专业人员完成,这些专业人员完成了会塌的教学楼和坚挺的政府大楼。这--,才是最可怕的。一个民族、一个种群,从根本上漠视延续这个民族和种群后代的生命,这个民族和种群离他消亡不会太远。

依然耸立的政府大楼,无疑是他们最后的坟墓。可怕而又无奈,很可能将会是我们亲手建立起来的、埋葬我们民族的坟墓。

Employee Fired After Asking Company Match for Earthquake Relief Donation

An Aviva USA employee was fired after he sent the CEO Tom Godlasky an EMail inquiring company policy on donation matching after the Sichuan Earthquake.

Aviva is a multinational insurance company with field branches in China, including five branch offices and three sales offices in the disaster area Sichuan. Several Aviva's Chinese agents in Sichuan had gone missing since the earthquake.

The employee 'Sheng' sent two inquiries to Godlasky asking about the matching policy but didn't get any response for several days. The employee was upset and wonder whether Godlasky was actually reading EMails in the past several days. He then sent a third letter in which he indicated it would be his 'last day' working for the company if he still didn't hear from the CEO. Godlasky immediately fired Sheng and kicked him out in the middle of a workday.

Conducting business in Sichuan is a privilege. The Seagull Reference recommend the Sichuan government revoke any business operation licenses that were issued to Aviva in Sichuan. Better yet, they should be banned from operating in China, and boycotted by Chinese all over the world.

Tom,

This is my third mail and the last mail to you, since I heard nothing from you for several days. I anticipate you never read any mail from low class employees in this company. You might want to eat your own words in the speech for United Ways last year.

Have you ever seen the following? Is it none of Aviva's business? Maybe it is none of "'Tech-Savvy' CEO" 's business.

Some Aviva agents missing after China earthquake China's State Council today said that the death toll from Monday's massive earthquake could reach as high as 50,000 lives. The official death toll reached at least 19,500 in Sichuan province alone where the quake was centered. Rescue teams continue to comb through the destruction in search of survivors.

Aviva has a branch office in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan, four sub-branches and three sales offices in the province. All 172 Aviva-Cofco employees are confirmed safe. The majority of Aviva's 1,422 agents and 290 other partners in the province are confirmed okay. However, most of the 74 agents of the Dujiangyan sales office, located very close to the epicenter, have yet to be accounted for.

I am not begging money from you, while I was just wondering if our company could match my $1000 donation this time or not. I guess the company reimburse your blackberry expense for some reason.

Today is my last day in this company. If you want to change your poor image in my mind, do something fast. Do not waste your talent and the title in Aviva plc.

Sheng

How American Media See Sichuan Earthquake


The Plain Dealer, the largest newspaper in Ohio, just released a second editorial cartoon on the Sichuan Earthquake.

Do NOT donate to Chinese Government Sponspored Foundations!


While all Chinese people mobilized by themselves to do something for people in the disaster area, the government sponsored foundations and charities are busy in making money. It is inspirational to read the Chinese Red Cross received 60 Billion YMB ($10 Billion USD) in a few days, but what ordinary Chinese people do not know is how the money will be used, which is always a top secret. From what has been revealed, Wuxi Red Cross will keep 60% of the donated money with earthquake designation. Yantai Red Cross plan to give "a fraction (literately translated from their official release in Chinese)" of the earthquake donation to the disaster area.

Do, Not, Donate, to Chinese government sponsored organizations!

Wuxi Red Cross Announcement at Xinhua Net (published by Wuxi Daily):

得知汶川地震的消息后,无锡市民纷纷自发捐款,支援灾区。来自市慈善总会的信息显示,截至昨天下午5时,已有37150元捐款到账。市慈善总会相关负责人表示,由于灾区交通还没有恢复,所以目前接收救灾捐赠还是以资金为主。市慈善总会捐赠热线电话:0510-82820143。市慈善总会的开户银行为农业银行无锡市中山支行,账号:630801040000019。 (小徐)

又讯 无锡市红十字会昨天发出开展“援助四川地震灾区 无锡人道万人捐”的紧急捐款呼吁书,呼吁全市社会各界发扬人道主义精神,伸出援助之手,捐款赈灾。

据悉,市红十字会将本次救灾募捐与“人道万人捐”善款的60%通过上级红十字会直接援助地震灾区,其余的纳入市红十字备灾救助基金,用于本市红十字会的备灾救助。所有捐款的情况都将在无锡市红十字会网站公布。

『天涯互助-汶川地震』 [亲身经历]一个曾经在汉旺的志愿者很寒心……

    我是5月14日中午出发骑自行车从成都往汉旺走的
    沿途路过我的家“德阳旌阳区”
    我知道没有时间去看家人
    因为我背上还有一大包药品和食物
    这里要感谢在新都石油大学读书的一个高中同学
    她在校医院里面买了很多感冒、抗生素类的药
    我路过旌阳区又吧身上剩下几乎所有的现金都买了药放在车后架上
    去绵竹的路上搭了一位好心人的顺风车于14日晚7点左右到达汉旺
    一路上看见倒塌的民房和目的地汉旺城区的惨状
    才感受到绵竹市政府的不作为带来的完全就是践踏人民的生命
    绵竹政府不敢吧真实的死亡人数报上去
    导致救援人员大多先去的都是都江堰和北川等地
    汉旺东方汽轮机厂就是几万人
    估计汉旺是重灾区里面
    人口密度最大的一个镇
    还有可恨的是
    汉旺镇的派出所那几个守救援物资仓库的官僚主义警察
    把最好的吃的、穿的和用的东西都先纳入私囊
    而且货车卸货装车的时候
    汉旺公安分局的人几乎是不得出手帮忙的
    完全是部队的士兵和我们志愿者来做
    警察们只晓得在傍边抽烟吆喝
    甚至还抱怨说
    “这里什么都不缺,就是缺烟啊,那个给捐点烟来就好了”
    “再过两天断烟了,扎个活哟”
    这些就是汉旺镇的“人民警察”说的话,我操!
    废墟里面埋的人吃的喝得都没得
    他们想要的却是烟,在灾区生活档次够高的哦
    在库房里面除了一个民警的老妈还被埋起的
    其他人都没什么大碍
    我就只看到一个警察头上有纱布的警察
    军队里面的人民解放军战士是很可爱的
    首先冒死进山里面救人的也是人民解放军
    山边的公路塌方了就负重徒步进山
    背上粮食、医药和水,还有通讯设备,救灾器械跋山涉水
    但是那些所谓的“人民警察”在汉旺却是官僚主义的典型代表
    5月15号凌晨我在救灾物资集中仓库里睡觉休息的时候
    听见那伙无耻的警察在商量:
    “这盒脑白金你拿去吃了嘛”
    “要得,那你就拿这个‘乌鸡白凤丸’”
    “这个登山帐篷质量还不错,我先拿走了”
    “耶,这还有双耐克篮球鞋说,我的了”
    “小声点,不要被那些志愿者听到了”
    “就是,要不然曝光就遭了”
    “明天一早要把他们统统都弄出去……”
    于是仓库里面所有志愿者第二天都被哄下山了
    哄我下山的时候
    我说“我们愿意留在这里出一份力”
    “我们留在这里只要能够早一秒钟让给灾民运送物资的货车开走都行,我们就想出点力来加快物资装车的速度”
    “远方到来的解放军战士很辛苦了,我们志愿者愿意帮他们”
    但是“警察叔叔”说
    “这里不需要你们,有军队就够了,你们在这里会耽误一些事情的”
    “快点走了,这里是一级戒备战略物资集散地,不允许你们在这里逗留”
    “马上领导就要来视察了,你们在这里像什么话”
    “你想出力,就去山上倒塌的楼房里面搬预制板救人去”
    我如果是专业的救援人员
    我屁都不放一个就去了
    但是我想“警察”都怕死
    我还去代替他们上前线救人啊
    我没那么瓜,我的命就比“警察”的命贱吗?
    下山,回德阳……
    可怜的被压在废墟里面的汉旺人民
    对不起我走了
    
    当然也许并不是所有的汉旺分局的警察都是这样
    但是我看到了也听到了那些少数另我心寒的人和事情
    如果有人评论我说的这些都没有证据的话,你就当我在放屁……

Americans Make Fun of Chinese Earthquake Lost


http://www.cleveland.com/darcy/index.ssf?/darcy/more/051408.html
http://editorialcartoonists.com/cartoons/DarcyJ/2008/DarcyJ20080514_low.jpg

The largest Ohio newspaper Cleavland Plain Dealer published an 'Editorial Cartoon' on March 14, 2008, makes fun of the lost of lives after the castertrophic earthquake which struck China two days earlier. Twenty thousands bodies had been found dead, and 30 thousands more are afraid to be dead in the earthquake.

You got to wonder what kind of animals are Americans evolved from?

Who is Jiang Guohua, and Why He Must Be Shot NOW

Jiang Guohua is the CCP Party Boss of Mianzhu, a Sichuan City 100 kilometers from the center of the earthquake. Tens of thousands of people in Mianzhu did not die of the the earthquake, but die of victim of Jiang's personal political aspiration. One minute Jiang hold the Party boss position, hundreds more people are dying under rubbles in Mianzhu.

Unlike Wenchuan which sits deeply in mountains, with all roads towards outside blocked by collapsed mountains and landslides, Mianzhu is within easy access to the outside. Had the reality been told to the upper level decision makers, most if not all of the sixty thousands people burried in Mianzhu could have been saved.

Right after the earthquake happened, when the central government was collecting information on the damage, Jiang Guohua told the central government that there was little damage in his city Mianzhu. Now we know as a fact Mianzhu had the most people buried by the earthquake but too late. For more than 2 days, no rescue team or resource had been directed to Mianzhu. Two days later, many towns and villages in Mianzhu still hadn't been reached.

Many devastated Mianzhu people use Internet to unveil the desperate situation of Mianzhu and called for emergent help. When finally Mianzhu's situation was known, Jiang Guohua rushed to announce victory of the rescue mission and instructed immediate suspension of rescue effort, and start of burying bodies. In name of preventing disease, he ordered all bodies would be buried without any delay to be ID-ed. Jiang made a wrong bet at the beginning, now Jiang wish the truth to be buried forever.

The problem is there are still thousands of people buried under rubbles. To be exact, there are still sixty thousands people buried. Merely 70 hours after the earthquake happened, and less than 12 hours after mass rescue effort had been launched in Mianzhu, Jiang's order to suspend rescue is nothing less than mass murdering.

For whatever reason, traditionally and historically the CCP tends to cover whatever they deem 'negative'. It may not even be their fault, or that they are doing a poor job. They just can't take any criticism and they automatically assume any criticism is harmful to their ruling. Sixty years after they took over the control of China, they still prefer ruling in a secret manner whenever possible. After the SARS incident, the national leadership began to see the benefit of transparency and at time make use of it. It's obvious that the central government has improved a lot in the rescue operation, but some local level Party bosses just can't learn. Sadly, even after the central government has the facts straight, the lower level officials are never punished. On one hand, this kind of 'shadow' is considered as damaging to the overall image of the CCP. On the other hand, there is always a need of dirty jobs. If not now, maybe tomorrow.

We can get along but not at this time, when tens or maybe hundreds are dying at every minute.

Jiang should be shot in public as a warning to all corrupted CCP officials who takes their political aspiration over people's lives. He must be shot NOW, to save sixty thousands Mianzhu people's lives. Tomorrow would have been too late!!!!!!!!!

Call for Help: Earthquake Relief

Dear Colleagues,

As you have heard from the news, south-western areas of China were struck by a deadliest earthquake two days ago. As I am reading and monitoring all news sources, the death toll has been mounting from a few thousands to the current 14 thousands confirmed, with more still buries under rubbles and many remain missing. While most attention has been drawn to the central of the disaster, Wenchuan, it is likely that peripheral regions such as Mianzhu suffered worse. Also, as the earthquake happened in school time, many of the victims are children attending classes. In some areas, a whole generation were lost when a major school building in the town collapsed. The most devastated areas are located in deep of mountains of Sichuan Basin. The most significant bottleneck of the relief operation has been to get more rescue people and resources into the area due to bad weather, mountain collapses and consecutive landslides.

My family in northern China was not affected by the earthquake. Thank you for your caring and comforting messages. While rescue teams are risking their lives racing with time trying to help people who lost, suffered, and many still waiting to be found, I would kindly ask that you make a donation, large or small to the relief effort of this disaster. In a disaster of this scale, any help could be used, and any help would make a difference.

I am not sure on the College EMail list policy, so I am sending this to you, my colleague in the same department, or had been in a same department. Please feel free to forward it to other colleagues and friends you know. I find following charities who are accepting donation for the earthquake online:



Thank you for taking time reading this message. I will try to answer any questions you may have regarding the disaster and the relief effort. You may tell me the amount of your generous gift. For each dollar you give, I pledge to run one mile in local race events, the registration fees of which should benefit local charities and schools. Thank you very much.

Heros


  • Chengdu Residents. They care, they help and they are positive as they always are.
  • Military Forces including local defense forces and militarized police forces. From top brasses down to ordinary soldiers risked their lives racing time to save people.
  • Premier Wen Jiabao, the best Premier in 30 years.

What did Chinese Government do Wrong

1) although there's no reliable way in earthquake forecast, officials roughly know which areas are more susceptible to major earthquake attacks. This information should have been shared with the public. For example, Seattle had a major earthquake overdue. Southern California is expected to have a major earthquake in 20-30 years. If this information is known by the public, then people can make plans and arrangements accordingly in their daily life. Many lives could have been saved if an escape route planned at their schools and work places.

2) It's understandable to weigh in the factor of social stability when making earthquake warning decisions. However, it is 'plainly wrong' to have the summer Olympic Game as a factor in making such decision. Olympic is a timely event, which should never be a factor in decision making process.

3) As reporters asked this morning in the news press, why so many school buildings collapsed? This must be investigated after the completion of the disaster relief.

Chengdu Residents Stand in Line for Blood Donation


In the wake of the strong earthquake that killed at least 8000 people, Chengdu residents stood in line overnight to donate blood to save their country folks. Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan province, also suffered damage and life losses from the earthquake although being 92 kilometers away from the center of disaster. Chengdu government advised residents to live in outdoor tents in the next month.

It was circulated on the Net that the historic city of Beichuan was buried by collapsed mountain entirely. Communication to Beichuan had been completely broken so casualties there had not been counted. If true, then I don't know what to say.

Military forces were promptly mobilized to rush to the area that suffered the most damage. Sichuan is notorious for its challenging roads, which had isolated it from the rest of the China in many incidents in history. Attempts to reach the area by helicopters had not been successful due to heavy rain. Elite troops were parachuted to disaster areas to set up communications. Frustrated by broken roads, one troop (First Division of Sichuan Armed Police) was reported having marched more than 30 kilometers in 4 hours on foot to save critical time. 24,000 troops were air lifted from bases across the country along with many specialized rescue teams.

School buildings were among the most in reported building damages. One of the worst scene was a collapsed school building with hundreds of children confirmed killed, and many more still buried under rubbles. The scene raised the concern of the quality of the newly erected school building. Even though it happened in the obvious earthquake, the actual cause of the failure of the building should be investigated after completing the search and rescue tasks. Too many young life perished. They deserve a truth.

Hundreds of thousands of toads were seen migrating two days before the earthquake struke Aba, a rural county close to the center of this earthquake. Many local people thought earthquake was going to happen based on ancient wisdom. Regrettably, the theory was disputed as rumor by the regional earthquake bureau. However, there is no known scientific way that can reliably predict or forecast an earthquake. An exception is the Haicheng Earthquake in 1975 which was successfully predicted mostly by observing abnormal animal behavior similar to the toads migration.
