According to the data of the previous life, nearly 70,000 people died in the Wenchuan earthquake, more than 17,000 people went missing, and more than 370,000 people were injured. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now, the death toll is only 12, of course, the earthquake has just happened, and there will definitely be an increase in the death toll after that, but it shouldn't increase too much, right?
Zheng Xiao asked: "Have all the earthquake areas been contacted?" ”
"No, the roads leading to the towns of Wenchuan and Beichuan have all been destroyed, and communications there have not yet been restored, and disaster relief workers are organizing a lot of manpower and material resources to repair the roads." Zhang Zhichao said in a heavy tone.
"yes, I don't know what the situation is in the epicenter of the earthquake right now, and now everyone is worried, worried about the situation there." Vice Governor Wang also frowned.
"May Heaven bless the people there in safety." Zheng Xiao said.
"It's going to be fine! As long as the people there are mobilized to see your concert, there won't be too many casualties. Zhang Zhichao said.
"I hope so." Zheng Xiao said.
"I have to thank Mr. Zheng for his generosity! We have been informed by the Red Cross that your donation has been received and that they will transfer it to our account tomorrow. Vice Governor Wang expressed his gratitude to Zheng Xiao.
After the earthquake, Zheng Xiao was the first to donate, and one donation was 100 million.
What a great affection!
Vice Governor Wang felt that Zheng Xiao's help and gifts to the Sichuan people this time were really too much, and his concert unintentionally saved countless people, and when a strong earthquake occurred, people once again generously donated 100 million yuan.
"It's good to receive it, I hope this money will make a difference." Zheng Xiao waved his hand and said.
That night, Zheng Xiao sang several anti-earthquake songs "Life and Death", "We Chinese", "Great Love Without Words" and "Promise" were broadcast by many TV stations and radio.
At the same time, Sichuan Provincial Satellite TV and CCTV News Network also broadcast the news of Zheng Xiao's generosity and donation of 100 million yuan to the disaster area for the first time.
For a while, Zheng Xiao's news was everywhere on the Internet.
He saved thousands of people in a concert, he kept calm in times of crisis, composed several anti-earthquake public welfare songs on the spot to inspire the people in the disaster area, and he generously donated 100 million yuan to help the people in the disaster area.
This one by one, touching everyone.
People talked loudly in the forum, praising Zheng Xiao, and everyone said that he was simply a god-like man.
If it weren't for God, why could one man save so many people?
Zheng Xiao is also anxiously waiting for news from Wenchuan and Beichuan.
There are still staff from Dinghong Company there.
He found that he had forgotten one thing: he should have asked people from the company to go to places like Wenchuan and Beichuan to bring satellite phones, so that there would be no things that he had not been able to contact so far.
However, the next morning, news finally came out from Wenchuan and Beichuan.
The good news came out: although the city buildings there had almost collapsed, the casualties were very small, with seven dead in Wenchuan and 11 in Beichuan, and the total number of wounded was less than 200.
It's nothing short of a miracle.
When the news broke, the whole country was boiling.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
After the Wenchuan earthquake, the whole world was shocked, and the country's leaders immediately began to deploy earthquake relief work, and caring people across the country took action.
Everyone's eyes are on Sichuan Province and Wenchuan, and everyone is paying attention to the news there, and every move there affects the hearts of the people of the whole country.
Now, the news of the core area of the strong earthquake has come out, and it is inconceivable that there are so few casualties under such a strong earthquake.
As long as the number of casualties is small, then the Chinese people will be psychologically more comfortable and will not be so uncomfortable.
"It's all because of Zheng Xiao, if it weren't for Zheng Xiao's strong organization of people to watch his concert in the square, how many people would have died."
"After watching the situation in Wenchuan County on the TV screen, almost the entire county town houses have collapsed, and if people were indoors during the earthquake, there was a chance that they would be smashed into the rubble. In that case, I don't know how many times the number of casualties will increase. ”
"A concert has saved at least 100,000 lives, right? With such a great kindness, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the benefactor of the entire Sichuan Province, right? ”
On the Internet, people are talking about it.
Because the number of casualties is small, the atmosphere of grief among the people is much smaller. In addition, the relief from all sides was timely, and the affected people did not suffer much, and the trauma caused by the earthquake is still within the scope of the country's bearing.
It is precisely because of this that Zheng Xiao's contribution is infinitely magnified.
For a period of time, he was almost the world's attention, and major media around the world were discussing Zheng Xiao and talking about his magical concert.
The media are like crazy and want to contact Zheng Xiao in an attempt to get an interview with him.
On May 13, Zheng Xiao left Rongcheng.
Zheng Xiao launched his third Chinese album album while the iron was hot in the next month or so, achieving a good result of selling more than 5 million copies in a single week.
Immediately, he released his third English album, with the songs "all-of-me" and "thinking-out-loud" as the main tracks, which were also enthusiastically sought after in Europe and the United States. His third English-language album debuted in more than a dozen major economies around the world, and sold more than 10 million in a single week.
He went to the United States again to promote his new album, and at the same time went to see Zhao Chunfang and his son Zheng Zheng.
At the beginning of July 2008, Tian Xilin, the leader of the national men's basketball team, called him.
"Mr. Zheng, the fourth Stankovic Cup basketball tournament will be held later this month, and this is the last warm-up game before the Olympics, you see, can you participate?" Tian Xilin asked pitifully.
Tian Xilin is the leader of the basketball management center, and is responsible for contacting Zheng Xiao on weekdays.
He called Zheng Xiao almost every three or five times, and he didn't say that he wanted him to report to the men's basketball team, but just talked to him about his feelings.
During the New Year's holidays, Tian Xilin will also send gifts to Zheng Xiao and make congratulatory calls or something.
In short, he was respectful.
This made Zheng Xiao very embarrassed.
He had promised to participate in the warm-up game of the national men's basketball team at least once before the Olympics. This is about to open the Olympics, and he has not yet reported to the national men's basketball team.
It's a bit too much to say.
Fortunately, now that my business has come to an end, I can start preparing for the Olympics with peace of mind.
He has been invited to perform at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. He also has to represent the men's basketball team in the Olympics, speaking of which, this Olympics is not easy for him.
"Team Leader Tian, I'm done with my business, I can participate." Zheng Xiao said.
"Ahh Are you sure? That's great. Tian Xilin shouted happily.
"Is the Stankovic Cup played in Hangzhou?" Zheng Xiao asked.
"Yes, you can report directly to Hangzhou, oh no! Mr. Zheng, if you are in the capital now, I will pick you up and escort you to the Hangzhou men's basketball training base. Tian Xilin said.
He is not at ease, let Zheng Xiao report alone, if Zheng Xiao is lazy and doesn't go over, wouldn't it be considered a dereliction of duty?
Therefore, he wanted to escort Zheng Xiao over.
"Okay." Zheng Xiao agreed.
