recent news
Here, we are all busy reading the newspapers these days.
The 7-year-old boy case (see my previous blog on "innocent boy") is the one always on the A-1 of major local Chinese papers. Everybody is discussing the motive of his step-mother, etc etc.
Rice giveaway is another big topic.
The Kissel case attracts more spotlight from SCMP than from local papers.
Disney is a bit out but still on the papers everyday.
I barely have a chance to have a closer look at "Katrina"… all these pictures remind me of the tsunami last Christmas…
Really can’t imagine this could have happened to the world leader… When we were happily celebrating the Christmas last year, the news of the tsunami rang a bell to everyone of us. Everybody (from all over the world) rushed to help those people. I still remember the scene of all banks crowded with people who wanted to donate. We were worrying how those poor countries could be re-built after the disaster.
Eight months later, the similar pictures sent from the news wires. Houses were destroyed. Thousands have been killed. People crying for help. People lost contacts with friends and families. Short of food and water. … …
Always the first one to stand out to support other nations when they need help. Always the first one to comment and judge when there is dispute in other nations. Now, in the Southern part of this country, people were yelling helplessly and hopelessly, saying that their country is ignoring them. Insufficient rescue.
No one wants to see this, but at least one thing is clear - the nature is the fairest thing in the world. Natural disaster could happen to everyone, no matter how rich or how poor you are.

I met a new friend 2 days ago, and her name is Katrina!!
Well, it is a bit sad to see what happened in New Orlend…you can see the riches have left and those who could not afford to leave remained, living in a very poor condition. It, again, proves to us, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot compete with the mother nature.
