China is not Tracing the Korean Path of Development

Journalist Liu Jian revealed on his mirco-blog, the top regulatory agency of product, including food, safety the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine had an exclusive farm in suburban Beijing. The 800 acres farm produce organic produce only, and is fully funded by the agency's operating budget. Agency employees and their families are allowed to pick produce from this farm. As a matter of fact, all government agencies had their own agricultural bases. No wonder why the government had been turning a blind eye to the food safety issue.

Earlier this year, the website of the cafeteria of the Agricultural Ministry bragged they use organic food only and no transgene produce at all, which contradict to the campaign launched by the Ministry to promote transgene food.

Scholars had predicted China would follow the path of South Korea. Both countries started with totalitarian regime, bitter students movement and cruel crack downs, and both on the way to prosperity. Seoul held the Olympic Game in 1988, when the country of South Korea's economy was about to take off. Beijing held it in 2004, while China's GDP almost doubled in a couple of years.

Also evident to the observation were the mass building quality issues South Koreans saw in the 1990s, including the collapse of a major bridge on the Han River, and a busy department store in Seoul. Experts attributed the problem to the poor quality control in the fast expansion of the economy take off. In China, the poor construction quality was blamed for the severe death toll of students in the Sichuan Earthquake in 2008.

However, looking closely, the two paths are not really parallel.

Both countries made breakthrough on the international market by a few major companies sponsored by the nation, such as the Samsung and Daewoo of Korea. However, China's successful companies are mostly resource producer with not much technical component.

Both country advocate against luxury life style. In Korea, the government suspended building high standard-ed building in the 1990s. In China, the government banned newspaper and advertising mentioning words such as 'luxury'.

Pedestrian Detained in Wenchuan, Sichuan

Prominent lawyer Zhou Ze revealed via twitter that he was shortly detained in Wenchuan, the site of Sichuan Earthquake.

Zhou was at the site of Yingxiu High School, where hundreds of students died in the quake, when some undercover police handcuffed him and dragged him away from because a Party leader would be visiting the same site. Zhou was released by the same group of police after the Party leader left about 10 minutes later. What's interesting from Zhou's description:

1) The 'leader' was a rather low level local official that according to posted policies does not warrant traffic control.

2) The undercover police's standard equipment includes a hand towel which is used to silence people from calling on the leader's attention.

80% of Earthquake Donations Ended Up in Government Accounts

A study by Qinghua University revealed that 80% of earthquake donations after last year's Sichuan Earthquake ended up in government accounts. A historic 76.7 Billion RMB Yuan was raised after the 5/12/2008 earthquake. Many of the donors are themselves in need, but still gave whatever they had in hand to the victims of the disaster that took away thousands of lives.

A team led by Guosheng Deng of the Public Management College of Qinghua University conducted a study on the donation. They found 80% of the donation made by individuals and companies ended up in government accounts in the form of extra tax revenues. Although only 58% of the donations were directly made to government accounts, those made to various charities were in the end taken away by the government.

The study was publicized on the 'Exhibition of Charity Projects and Community Organization 5.12 Activity Forum' held on August 12, 2009 in Beijing.

Guosheng Deng is an associate professor and director of the NGO Institute of the Qinghua University. He received a J.D. from the People's (Renmin) University.

Endorsed by Qinghua University

The Construction Department of the Sichuan Province decided they would not prosecute people responsible for school buildings collapsed in the Sichuan Earthquake last year. The decision was advised by the Architecture School of Qinghua University as well as the China Architecture Academy.

Ninety thousands people were killed in the earthquake. However, an alarming disproportional of them are school age children. In many villages and towns far away from the center of the quake, school buildings are the only buildings to collapse. Volunteers and international rescue teams entered the disaster area reported unacceptable design and construction materials in schools. Many parents are angry and demand an investigation into the quality of school buildings.

Professors from Qinghua University advised the Sichuan government that the investigation was not necessary. Professors of Qinghua University who are involved in making this decision are: Chief Engineer Liu Fengge (刘凤阁), Deputy Chief Engineer Ma Baomin (马宝民), He Xiaogang (贺小岗) among others.

The Seagull prays to God: May Qinghua University be buried and rotten in Hell. May Qinghua University Professors live in ever collapsing buildings in Hell. May family and kids of Qinghua University professors live in buildings erected by the same villains.

Japanese Volunteers Helped Earthquake Rebuild

Japanese volunteers helped Sichuan Earthquake rebuild. September 11, 2008, another temporary elementary school welcomed new semester. Unlike hundreds of mass production temporary schools set up in the quake area, this one will be remembered as a master piece in architecture history.


The Chengdu Hualin Elementary School is designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban with 'paper tube' technology. The main structure is made of mass products of recyclable materials paper tube, wooden joint and steel cables. The design features excellent ventilation and temperature control in the area known for hot and high humidity. Construction materials are easy to build and will be easy to recycle or reuse.

The project is a collaborative effort among Chinese and Japanese volunteers. Thank you Japan.

Who Owns Information

Civil rights activist Mr. Huang Qi was arrested by police on June 10, 2008. Mr. Huang together wish another volunteer was helping the earthquake disaster relief when both were arrested. According to the volunteer who was released a few days later, police questioned him specifically on their investigation of the poor building quality of public schools.

Huang's wife went to the Bureau of Public Safety of Wuhou, Chengdu to inquire the condition of Huang. She was showed a warrant for "Illegal Procession of National Secret". This is about Huang's visiting of victim families connected to collapsed school buildings.

There had been many cases of people arrested for 'Leaking National Secret'. With a broach definition of 'national secret', one could be thrown into jail for mailing a newspaper, or an openly published book. Still, those are about something written or compiled by someone else, even after they were put into public domain. It's often ridiculous to say a newspaper is national secret, but still often, the prosecution will claim that they see it as a national secret. In this case, however, none of such 'published' or 'compiled' materials exists. The said 'national secret' is the numbers and cases Mr. Huang collected from victims' families. There is no leakage either, since Mr. Huang had not had a chance to put this onto his personal website. Therefore, the alleged crime "Illegal Procession" of national secret makes you chill.

Who owns information?

An ancient Chinese saying is "a person lost innocence if he carries a treasure (庶人无罪怀璧其罪)", regardless where does he find the treasure". It's an reflection of a doctrine that everything under the sun belongs to the King. Now, everything in the world, tangible or not, belongs to the CCP.

An Artistic Rendition of A Historic Moment

On the right is an artistic rendition of a historic moment when the Chinese President Hu Jintao met Premier Wen Jiabao at a Sichuan airport. Wen had been working non-stop for a week in the devastated disaster area on rescue and relief operations.

In the picture captured by a Xinhua News Agency reporter Ju Peng, the encounter looks like an emperor greets his general on a victory triumph. In the officially released oil painting, however, Wen looks like an old servant facing his master. One question is which edition is closer to the truth, but it is overshadowed by the fact that self-censorship is working any where, any time.

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.

　　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!

　　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!!!

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.
