7.8-magnitude quake rocks China

Oh my god! How a terrible news! When I look this news, I am almost heartbreaking.

The following is news summary:
A massive earthquake in central China yesterday killed at least 7,000 people in Sichuan
Province, with the overall death toll expected to increase sharply. Xinhua news agency said 80
percent of the buildings had collapsed in Beichuan County and that another 10,000 people were
believed hurt there.
The epicenter was in Sichuan, striking 92km northwest of the provincial capital of Chengdu.
The 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit in the middle of the afternoon — when classes and offices
were full.

It’s hard to believe that such terrible thing will happen. Making me feel that

human’s life is very fragile. We are hardly to fight against the power of nature,

and it usually can’t be predicted. We can’t know what will happen next

second. It’s all depends on the will of god. What we could do is to reduce the

harm that we cause.

I always feel that the technology now day will solve many things, like predict the

occurrence of earthquake. This event makes me feel that technology is limited

to the nature.

The whole city destroyed by the earthquake. It’s really hard to image! I hardly

believe that it is true. And it’s so close to us. This event makes me bring 921

earthquake’s image to mind. So many people dead and so many people hurt.

The situation in China is worsening than us several times. I am scared to seen

these scenes, and I hope it’s better not happen again.
