Chapter 245: A Bumpy Road
At 15:28 p.m. Korea time on May 12, 2008 and 14:28 p.m. China time on May 12, 2008, the largest earthquake since the founding of the People's Republic of China occurred in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to the data of the China Earthquake Administration, the scope of the earthquake exceeded 100,000 square kilometers, with 10 counties and cities in the most severely affected areas, 41 counties and cities in the more severe disaster areas, and 186 counties and cities in the general disaster area.
When the earthquake struck a few days later, Kim Tae-yeon finally saw the Wencheon area on the Internet, where communications had just been restored.
But when she saw the news broadcast, she was stunned.
After the earthquake, there were ruins and wreckage everywhere, countless people were killed in the earthquake, countless families were destroyed because of it, and there was mourning everywhere, and everywhere it went was like hell on earth.
People who have lost their loved ones are desperately digging through the rubble, they want to save their families, and they are not willing to give up even the slightest hope. But the final outcome made countless people cry, no matter how hard they worked hard, only the bodies that had been dug up were already lifeless......
The aftershocks continued, and the disaster situation in Wenchuan has not stabilized at all, and in such a harsh environment, many people who were lucky enough to escape were frightened and evacuated to safe areas.
When Kim Tae-yeon saw those images, her tears fell.
Life...... Perhaps it is so fragile that an accident or a natural disaster can deprive people of their lives.
According to incomplete statistics, in less than three days after the Wenchuan earthquake, more than 69,000 people died, more than 370,000 were injured, and more than 17,000 were missing.
The bright red numbers, each one of which stinged Kim Taeyeon's heart.
Although she is not Chinese, she is inextricably linked to China because some of her memories come from China.
For a few days in a row, Kim Taeyeon lost interest in work, and she never refused any work, so she asked Kim Yeon-gu to push down the notice related to her and Girls' Generation for the first time, just to pay attention to the disaster in Wenchuan.
"So many people...... It's all gone......" Kim Tae-yeon cried when the disaster statistics came out, and she sat in front of the computer and cried as she watched the news scenes.
Zheng Xiuyan is not like this, although the Wenchuan earthquake occurred in China, but so many lives were dissipated in this earthquake, how could she not be moved? Seeing Kim Taeyeon sitting in front of the computer in a daze, her heart also tugged.
"Suyeon......" Kim Taeyeon turned around slowly, tears covering her cheeks.
Inadvertently, she hugged Zheng Xiuyan, buried her head in her arms and cried bitterly: "Xiuyan...... So many people...... That's it...... gone."
"Taeyeon......" Jung so-yeon wants to comfort her, but she doesn't know how to comfort her. I'm afraid that no matter who it is at this time, it will not be easy to say a word not too sad.
I don't know where to open to comfort, Jung so-yeon can only let Kim Tae-yeon hold her and pat her like comforting a mentally wounded child.
Under Zheng Xiuyan's comfort, she was tired of crying, and slowly fell asleep on Zheng Xiuyan.
The next morning, Kim Taeyeon got up early.
However, when she got up, she sat on the bed in a daze, looking at the computer that had not been turned off all night and fell into deep thought.
"Ernie, it's my birthday this year, and I plan to donate all the money I've saved up to the disaster area." This is what Lim Yoona said to Kim Taeyeon after she got up.
There was such a severe earthquake in Wenchuan, even though it happened in China, but Lin Yuna could not sit idly by. Today is her 18th birthday, and she has already made up her mind after returning yesterday, taking advantage of the fact that her sisters are worried about Wenchuan, she took out all her savings and transferred them to a new bank card, and after getting up, she handed it to Kim Taeyeon, hoping that Kim Taeyeon can donate her heart instead of her.
Because since the Wenchuan earthquake, Kim Taeyeon is like a different person, she doesn't eat or drink, and searches for the latest situation about the Wenchuan earthquake in front of the computer all day long.
But every time after reading it, Kim Taeyeon feels like she has lost her soul, she sits there and cries from time to time, and in the eyes of Lin Yuna, she is really worried about whether Kim Taeyeon will drag her body down because of this.
So when the South Korean government officially launched a fundraiser for Wenchuan, China, Lin Yuner immediately withdrew all her savings, and at the same time decided to give up her 18th birthday, and decided that as long as the disaster situation in Wenchuan was not completely stable, as long as Wenchuan still needed donations, no matter how much money she had, she decided to donate.
And the members of Girls' Generation have always had an agreement since before their debut, nine people have nine hearts, and they must be united forever to become one heart, so their slogan was also born with this agreement.
It's girlhood now, it's girlhood later, and it's always girlhood.
The nine people are one and the same, so Lin Yun'er's actions also represent everyone's actions. After Lim Yoona, Lee Soon-gyu, Hwang Mi-young, Choi so-young, Kim Hyo-yeon, Kwon Yoo-ri, and Seo Hyun took out all their savings and handed them to Kim Tae-yeon, all asking Kim Tae-yeon to donate the money to Wencheon instead of them.
Because after the Wenchuan earthquake, Kim Taeyeon was the most worried and concerned about the disaster, and it was also the saddest one among them, they wanted Kim Taeyeon to cheer up again, so they collectively decided to let Kim Taeyeon become their representative to donate a little of their heart to Wenchuan.
At the same time, they also made the same decision as Lin Yun'er, and they all planned to donate the money to Wenchuan in the next period of time, as long as they saved it, they didn't care if the money was helpful to the disaster area, whether it was a drop in the bucket or not, because ...... They want to help Wenchuan.
And Kim Taeyeon, who had spent a few days in a daze, slowly cheered up under the actions of her sisters, and at the same time made a move that made the sisters all approve of it.
She donated all the 30 million won by the lottery on New Year's Day, and now the remaining prize of less than 25 million in the bank, without any memory or reluctance, together with her own savings.
…………
It has been almost a week since the Wenchuan earthquake, and although the situation has gradually stabilized, in the face of the damage caused by the largest natural disaster in history, the huge economic loss figure is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for any country.
Although donations from all over the world are concentrating in Wenchuan, they are still a drop in the bucket.
Seven days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, Kim Taeyeon, who has come out of the heavy shadow under the actions of her sisters after the earthquake, is still doing her part for Wenchuan.
In her book, which she used to keep accounts, recorded the income and expenses of Girls' Generation in the last week, although they did not donate a lot of money in the next few days, but there were two records that seemed extremely precious.
May 15: Expenditure of 36.1 million won, 24.7 million for collective deposits, 11.4 million for collective fundraising, role: Donation for Wencheon.
May 16: Revenue $150,000, $150,000 expenditure, fundraising, role: donate to Wenchuan.
On Lin Yun'er's birthday, under her leadership, everyone in Girls' Generation donated their savings, and even Kim Hyo-yeon, who likes to hide a small treasury privately, donated the small treasury that she had hidden for a long time.
On that day, the nine people pooled a total of 11.4 million won, equivalent to more than 66,000 yuan.
And a day later, Hwang Mi-young borrowed $150,000 from her father in the United States without telling everyone, and handed over the card to Kim Taeyeon as soon as she transferred it to the card, asking Kim Tae-yeon to donate to the disaster area instead of her.
However, on the last page of the ledger where these records were written, there is also a record.
May 18: Revenue of 3 billion won, expenditure of 3 billion won, Kim Taeyeon raised, Girls' Generation joint donation, role: donate for Wenchuan.
No one knows this record, because it was borrowed privately by Kim Taeyeon, although the signature at the time of the donation was written as a girl's generation, but she was the only one who actually made the donor, not only that, but the 3 billion won, equivalent to 18 million yuan, was a huge debt, and Kim Taeyeon planned to pay it off by himself.
…………
It has been a while since the Wenchuan earthquake, and Kim Taeyeon, or girlhood, is still filled with various announcements, and her busy life still occupies each of their time.
But in such a busy situation, something happened that Girls' Generation did not expect at all.
There is a clip in "Young Boys and Girls" hosted by Hwang Mi-young and Kim Hye-sung that was intercepted.
In the picture, when Kim Hye-sung was broadcasting the Wenchuan earthquake disaster and Korean artists donating money to Wenchuan, Hwang Mi-young laughed out loud in such a serious situation.
Although Huang Meiying explained at the time that she was not laughing because of the Sichuan earthquake, but because Kim Hye-sung said the Korean pronunciation of the word "" and thought of "Unstoppable", it caused an uproar after this episode was broadcast.
Many anti took this opportunity to accuse and smear Huang Meiying, deliberately saying that Huang Meiying was an emotionless person, and she was able to laugh out loud on such a serious matter as the Wenchuan earthquake.
And in China, after this image was reprinted many times, countless people were outraged.
Wenchuan earthquake, you don't donate to Wenchuan or contribute to Wenchuan, you dare to laugh at us?
After this scene appeared, many people have scolded Huang Meiying, and even took Girlhood to hate.
And the protagonist of this matter, Huang Meiying, still doesn't know anything, and is still busy making money in a hurry, because after today's announcement is over, she will be able to combine the money she has worked hard to save in the past few days into 10,000 yuan, so that she can donate to Wenchuan again.
(I don't really want to write about it at this point, because the more I write, the more I get angry.) I don't know if Pani or Girls' Generation donated money to the Wenchuan earthquake, but I can be sure that Pani didn't laugh on the show because he laughed at the Wenchuan earthquake. And then there are countless black fans who use this to blackpani, and I really see that I want to smash the monitor. I don't know how many people are black fans now, I only know that the people who believed Pani and laughed at the Wenchuan earthquake at the beginning, you all owe Pani a word of sorry. )
