1.Thoughts on Wednesday, May 65438, 2008+Sichuan earthquake in April 2008
19: 56 In May 2008, 12, 14: 28: 04.0, an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 occurred in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province. According to the latest progress report on earthquake disaster situation and earthquake relief in Sichuan Province, by the afternoon of May 30th, at 16, the disaster situation in Sichuan Province was: more than 2,000 people were killed/kloc-0, 26,206 people were injured, 9,404 people were buried and 3.46 million houses were damaged.
From yesterday to today, time goes by little by little, and every minute, many people in the disaster area are in danger of death because of the lack of resources to rescue officers and soldiers and doctors. On the Internet, the latest news, pictures and videos keep coming, and one of them makes me unforgettable: the first picture in the video is a collapsed building, which used to be a beautiful campus. In the collapsed rubble, a young face appeared in front of us. That is a little girl in Grade 12. After a day of burial, the little girl's face has become black and yellow, black and yellow due to excessive hunger and lack of oxygen. On her face, you can vaguely see the tears you shed and the faint despair. The little girl's mouth is still opening and closing, but her voice can't be heard in the video. I think the little girl cried for help when she was buried in the ruins, and her voice has become hoarse. I was filled with emotion when I saw this little girl. The Sichuan earthquake caused tens of thousands of people to be trapped in the ruins. Like this little girl, they couldn't help themselves in the ruins. If the officers and men do not rescue them in time, the lives of these people will be in jeopardy and oppressed by death. At this time, I only heard a loud shout: "There is someone here!" A group of officers and men ran over and excitedly carried out rescue work. The little girl's face suddenly filled with joy and shouted, "Come and save me!" " An officer lowered his head and said to the little girl, "Little sister, we are coming to save you." Don't talk, stay well and wait for us patiently! "The little girl obediently stopped talking and looked at the officers and men eagerly. Because the little girl is in the inner layer of the ruins, if some rescue machines are used, the ruins may collapse again, endangering the little girl's life. Instead of using machines, the officers and men formed a circle and squatted down to dig the ruins by hand. At this point, it is already one o'clock in the morning. These officers and men have rescued many landslide sites and are exhausted. However, as long as you relax for one second, people trapped under the rubble may face the danger of death! For the sake of the affected people, no matter how hard or tired it is. The officers and men are holding the belief that "one second earlier may save one more person" and constantly rescue the affected people. At this time, the rubble around the little girl was finally cleaned up by the officers and men, and the little girl was successfully rescued.
The Sichuan 7.8 earthquake shocked the world, and the fate of the people in the disaster area also touched the hearts of the 654.38+03 billion people in China. After the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, the Seismological Bureau of China has started the first-level plan. The National Earthquake Disaster Emergency Rescue Team, consisting of China Seismological Bureau 12, an engineer from a certain department of Beijing Military Region 150 and 22 people from the Armed Police General Hospital, went to Wenchuan disaster area one after another to undertake search and rescue and medical rescue tasks. Today, China Air Force dispatched 22 military transport planes, airlifted more than 6,000 airborne troops and four command vehicles to Sichuan earthquake-stricken areas to carry out earthquake relief tasks in Mianzhu, Anxian and Beichuan. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has also urgently allocated 25,000 disaster relief tents to support the disaster-stricken areas in Sichuan, and other relief materials are being mobilized and transported. People from all walks of life, many enterprises and companies in China, and the China Red Cross are also helping Sichuan.
In the face of disaster, unity is strength. When the 65.438+0.3 billion people of China are shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand and heart to heart, any difficulty is temporary and any disaster can be overcome.
2. Composition about Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan: Let's observe a moment of silence for all the victims.
On the morning of May 13, the author suggested that all students stand up and observe a minute's silence for the victims of the Sichuan earthquake, and pray that God will bless China. After class, a classmate told the author that he was just shocked when he heard the news of the earthquake, but this time he stood up silently, which made him feel sad and even burst into tears. This is the first time in his life that he stood up silently.
"Book of Rites" said: "The reason why people are human is courtesy." In the face of the victims, inner sympathy and sympathy are of course important, but they also need to be expressed in the form of some rituals in order to give spiritual comfort and encouragement to those in disaster. In addition, mourning etiquette can not only enhance the sad atmosphere, but also infect the people and purify the soul. In addition, it also tells the living people that we are only survivors of disasters, and we may not be spared from unpredictable natural and man-made disasters!
Undoubtedly, the first and most important thing after a disaster is rescue and disaster relief. However, only a few people are directly involved in the rescue and disaster relief. For the vast majority of people, silence and commemoration and donation activities may be the best way to participate. In the face of the Sichuan earthquake disaster, up to now, in sharp contrast to the vigorous commemorative activities on the Internet and the donation activities in full swing in the society, it seems that no decent mourning activities and commemorative ceremonies have been seen or heard. This is somewhat inconsistent with China's reputation as a civilized country and a state of etiquette. Here, the practices of other countries in the face of disasters may give us some enlightenment.
Major disasters far exceed the psychological endurance and disaster relief ability of local governments and their people, so the country will inevitably become the backbone and savior of the people. At this time, the national flag often becomes an emotional bond between the people and the country. "9• After the "1 1" incident, almost every family in the United States hung the national flag, and everyone clung to it. At the same time, the national flag will not only fly at half-mast for several days in succession to mourn the victims, but also fly at half-mast every September 1 1 day. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 caused heavy casualties, and the flag was flown at half mast in the United States. Although the form is simple, the spiritual implication of "I am with beauty, and beauty is with me" cannot be underestimated.
In fact, it has become an international practice to mourn the victims of major disasters at half mast throughout the country. For example, former Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered all Russian flags to be flown at half-mast for the victims of the hostage-taking incident in Beslan and the air crash in Chechnya. In the 2004 tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia, almost all countries in Southeast Asia lowered flags at half mast for the victims. It is worth noting that flying flags at half-mast for victims of major disasters in other countries may also evolve into an international etiquette. For example, during the tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia, the United States and many European countries lowered flags at half-mast for the victims.
Of course, more memorial ceremonies and commemorative activities are spontaneously organized by the people. On September 1 1, 2002, thousands of people in Pennsylvania spontaneously gathered in a field in Janks to commemorate the "9&# 8226; 1 1 the first anniversary of the incident. Murrial Polza, who was only 1 1 years old, presided over the memorial service. She said: "People can do good deeds and help mankind in small ways. Even a hug, a kiss, a smile or a wave, a prayer or a moment of silence for the people we love will make people feel gratified and commemorate our unforgettable lover. "
Yes, a small mourning activity or memorial ceremony is not only something that ordinary people can do, but also a good way to express their feelings and condolences. I hope that after the situation in Wenchuan is confirmed, go-verment can let the national flag fly at half mast to mourn for the victims. Most importantly, let each of us observe a moment of silence for the victims through our own words, and tell those who are still suffering from the disaster: no matter how great the suffering and danger, we are all with you!
