Today, let's help the victims of the earthquake area!

At 14:28 on May 12, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake occurred in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, which made Beijing, Shanghai, Shaanxi and other provinces and cities across the country feel the tremor obviously, and even Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, which is thousands of miles away, is said to be no exception.

At the same time, the Internet has fully demonstrated its power: netizens from all over the world have posted the shock in their area online, some netizens have recorded the scene of the earthquake, some netizens have communicated with each other about the situation of their relatives and friends, and some netizens have also taken images and pictures of the scene. This has allowed more people to learn about the earthquake. In the face of disasters, the more we restore the scene and the more we understand the truth, the more we can rescue the victims.

China has experienced several major earthquakes, and although more than 30 years have passed since the Tangshan earthquake, which was also a magnitude 7.8 earthquake, it is a dark memory that cannot be erased for many Chinese people. The Tangshan earthquake killed 240,000 people, seriously injured 160,000 people, injured more than 1 million people, disintegrated 15,886 families, 3,817 people became paraplegics, 25,061 people were crippled, 3,675 elderly people were left alone, 4,204 orphans, and hundreds of thousands of residents became refugees who lost their homes in the blink of an eye. The tragedy was not completely unavoidable, and the prediction of a possible earthquake in Tangshan had long been placed on the desks of the heads of relevant departments, but unfortunately it was only a historical archive for research. Paradoxically, history will always have the same, a few days before the Wenchuan earthquake, the relevant departments just issued a rumor-refuting draft, entitled "Aba Prefecture Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction Bureau Successfully Quelled the Earthquake Misinformation Incident", but the earthquake really came, and the so-called misinformation became an unfortunate fact.

Perhaps, in the minds of some people, in the face of catastrophes, we should concentrate on disaster relief efforts, and it is meaningless to reflect on certain things at this time. But if we can't learn to reflect, if we can't learn to sum up experience, and let the blood-stained lessons wake up again and again, then no amount of vigilance will be useless. Because if the vigilance is only to deal with the surging public opinion, and does not look for the root cause, the natural disaster and man-made disaster will be entangled together, and the misfortune caused by the disaster will be heavy again and again. It is not possible to exhaust the extent of the disaster caused by the Wenchuan earthquake, but it may be very serious, or it may be reduced to a minimum with positive warning in advance. However, no matter whether it is serious or not, only by making information public can it be possible to dispel people's hidden worries and avoid "rumors spreading". Information disclosure should first of all be the diversification of information release and dissemination channels. If any information is released through a single channel, even if it is as accurate as the facts, it will attract suspicion because the outside world cannot know the authenticity of the information without third-party oversight.

Only by making it public can we have a more comprehensive understanding of whether the emergency management plans formulated by local governments are qualified, whether the disaster handling mechanism is effective, and whether the disaster victims can be better resettled. Earthquakes are almost unstoppable disasters, and since they have already occurred, it is best to deal with them in a pragmatic manner. The tragedy of the typhoon disaster in Myanmar and the various problems that have arisen in the post-disaster relief have further enlightened us: first, only by showing the problem in an all-round way can we solve the problem in an all-round way; Second, the lives and well-being of the people are more important than the face of officials and even the government.

The Wenchuan earthquake shook the whole country and the hearts of thousands of Chinese people. They spontaneously paid attention to the earthquake in various ways, and paid attention to their relatives, friends and others in the disaster area. Neighboring Japan has twice filmed a disaster film "Japan Sinking", which predicts the sinking of the Japanese archipelago due to the great earthquake in Japan, in order to inspire the Japanese people's sense of crisis and solidarity. Today, when we are faced with an earthquake, we should not panic, not escape, not "eliminate the problem internally", but rely on every citizen who cares about the disaster area, so that they and the people in the disaster area can be heart-to-heart, encourage each other, reduce the disaster as much as possible, rescue the victims as much as possible, rebuild their homes, and rebuild their spirits!

Today, let's help the victims of the earthquake area!
