I don't know if it's the right place to post this, sorry if it's not.

I guess everyone know the China quake. I live in Hong Kong and I'm a Chinese, I'm heartbroken and scared. And I think I could cry whenever I hear the news of the quake.
It makes me think about my life and reminds me that life is fragile.

I asked myself a cliche question:
What if I was one of them, buried in the rubble, and death was all around me? Who would I think of and who would I want to thank?

I'm not sure if everyone was sad like me or ever sadder than me, but I think it would be meaningful if you could think the above questions too. You could read this article to feel about it and perhaps listen to the music which was sang by various Hong Kong artists to encourage them. It's in Mandarin but I guess you could feel the sadness.

After that, close you eyes and spend some minutes to think about who you would want to thank. You could help the answer in your mind or share with us. But after that, please don't forget what you had answered and be thankful to those people who appeared in your head.

I'll share my answer later, I just can't type anymore. Honestly my tears covered up my eyes.

I don't really have the time this question deserves right now, but I just wanted you to know that I'm praying for you and everyone else affected by this. I'm in the process of fundraising right now for the victims of the recent natural disasters around the world, and everyone affected by any of this in definitely in my thoughts.

I second that.


If I was in the rubble I would probably just remember all of the good times I had, but what I wouldn't do is give up. The Chinese Government are doing their hardest to try and get as many survivors out of the rubble.

We had a letter given to us at my school today about "Aquabox Aid" which is a letter which is sent around whenever a serious natural disaster occurs. I will be contributing to it most definitely, as I sympathise with those affected by this terrible disaster.

Life is short and fragile, but there's nothing we can do about that.


I pray for all those effected by this earthquake, and I hope you also recover soon - I think your reaction is natural, and if I were in your position I would be the same.
