One family's loss in Sichuan earthquake - 18 May 08

[dtmpowerboss]

when you see you realize but this is not the end there will be more just like it heaped to biggest tsunami and that is not the end

[metroboystation]

I visited my relatives in mianyang in Sichuan last week. The week was so fun until the day we visited the beichuan city museum. Untouched from the earthquake. I honestly cried. U could see bowls and toys.. Just like my town mianyang but the buildings just fucked me in. They just fell into a heap.. No one shouldve survived

[dragonwing4]

This really touched me...

[Johncarson9113]

This is heart wrenching, I couldnt even imagine the death of your own child, its worse then losing you mom or dad. A child is a part of you, he/she is an innocent soul, so much life is left in them. I feel so bad for the mother, no emotions or words can describe the magnitude of loosing your own child.

[larrainewong]

@Johncarson9113

i agree kids are innocent some parents are innocent especially something like this happen it should happen like that or to any 1 no 1 deserves even in any part of china the poor part or rich china don't deserve something so horrible like that any 1 knows how why do we have earthquake or y does some world like poor world has earthquake or flooded?

[Angsc09]

We are the only who donate a lot lot of money to China this disaster is really you all country government doesn't do anything after this strike I very disappointing all of you only just watch on TV and do nothing what a bunch of douche-bags.

[bbly096]

"Had they had heavy machinery...would have saved more life...but they lacked the resource..." Seriously, the town was cut off, does she even know what "cut off" mean? She should have said "had they had a time machine..would have prevented the whole thing...but they lacked the resource.." lol

[popshvt]

government and the constructors should be blame

they are becaming richer and richer

and the students are dead....

[vasilia1994]

OMG i cried it was so sad TT.TT

[amazingdany]

One of life's greatest tragedies is when children die before their own parents.

[BrokeTheInterweb]

The school buildings were especially weak, and the government ignored their concerns.

[frizzleflow]

The death toll of the quake doesnt include all the suicides that occured in the aftermath.

[fuzzypaws17]

I hope that poor couple is healing now. It will get better for them.

[chetansingh2006]

concrete  madness

[windrix1]

Yeah, mother nature is a whore.

[asianmelb]

We really shouldnt take life for granted.

[muzammil150]

i really wish i can do something about all the nateral desasters.

[larrainewong]

how could 1 family lost a child its not 1 its so many of them lost their children their homes their lives

[larrainewong]

if i was in their situation i will never heal cause its just so hard and its too hard for me to handle

[DNAce1]

A man shouldn't cry but who wouldn't when your children died infront of you. Every parents fear is the children that they raised died before they do. It is truly such a sad fate for those in this country since the 1 child policy. Such a terrible sorrowful fate. Why do the good people of this earth get punished for? What have they done? It is painful to watch this. Whether white, black, or asian this is truly sad.

[iBuckFush]

why should a man not cry? god gave it for him to do so

[DNAce1]

i agree dude i agree

[vlh4ever]

insane

[jeffreyxieh2008]

Big earthquake such as this Sichuan had also happened in Taiwan on Sep. 21 (year?) Lots of people dead and building and bridges crashed. Like what was done in Sichuan, government and People all over the place also worked very hard to rescue people and re-establish the shattered places. Better than US government for Katrina. For sure, it is a natural disaster which can not be predicted and prevented. Nothing should be hidden. No one in Taiwan or Luisanna filed lawsuit or protest.

[LADYGAGAFANS]

This is devestating ):

[enkwean]

Thanks every one whom supplied us helping during this disaster .Every chinese want to say '非常谢谢'(Thank you every much!)

[Descendone]

Man...Dear Mr.Hua your emotions are reality and truth, nothing can contain your loss. You and your wife may God be with you and I pray for your little boy.

[georgewu5]

I cried very hard during this short video clip!---dancewu(dot)net

[niajhabenson7]

why argue on here ? the chinese did this the chinese did that , im so sick of this crap. oh if this happened in america it would be on the news for months, yet chinese so we don't care ? psh please, it's horrible, i dont' care what race you are. I feel so bad that i can't help those poor people, their baby boy is gone :(

[bryantan8818]

dont spam me,..........not my comment

[WIN3S]

okay... do yu even know where china is? lol matter of fact, can yu point out where yu live on a world map? pathetic little bryantan. Most sources of hatred comes from ignorance, and I have no doubt your about one of the most ignorant people here. Take care little guy, goto a SCHOOL and learn something. An education can help someone like yourself, your parents proabbly didn't do such a good job of teaching you that.

[chinesemo]

fuck you! I wish you were buried under that debree instead of Jiao Yee.

[cuihao]

why so mean??why

[Snekshot]

Fuck you off mother fucker!

THEY ARE PEOPLE LIKE US!!!!

UDERSTAND!!!!

Poor kid (of the video)

[andagii]

It's so horrible how some people respond.

[Snekshot]

First, I wasn't talking to you, second, see all comments to see who am I talking to.

[andagii]

Look at that poor lady. Such a horrible tragedy.

[Miyumya]

a parent should never have to bury their children

[AznGoddess93]

Wow. It's terrible to think that some people would think the victims of Sichuan deserved to die. But here, an innocent child died. Did he deserve to die? Was he involved in any of the political affairs with Tibet?

[Trustworthy909]

God is Black. God is White. Good is Yellow. Good has no colour. And I do not think the all Powerful God would care about the difference is Skin Pigments.

[MVPballin123]

Is god purple too?

[xiaoZT14]

so sad=(

[Muggsy101]

We should be respectful, people are dieing in China, we are not to jugde them for anything that happens! So be respectful, you would want people to be respectful if someone close to you had died.

[scorpheuz]

fuck all those who says those victims deserve it. it has nth to do wit religion. there are christians among chinese for ur info.

picture urself as the father. how wud u feel? use ur head b4 u say anything.

[jcneutrinos]

God knows YOU are EVIL

[iwantdealhigh]

God knows you are evil; you will be sent directly to hell.......

[yuwu94]

yo suck ma balls man bck off from china fuck u

[kira478]

stop arguing

[subprime2006]

Muslim believe in the same GOD as CHRISTIAN/CATHOLIC but their differences is who is the "messenger". Mohammed/Muslim and Jesus for Chistian/Catholic.

[chrisleengng]

So-------, subprime2006.

Does it means that you are neither Muslim nor Christian? You are a buddhist aren't you?

[connie59do]

Why are we talking about God in Al Jazeera channel?

[ataysldi]

God hear our prayer.

[Yumengzym]

God's punishment? No way. No one would believe god would stand on someone who says this kind of comments to this kind of disaster.

It's not only a disaster of China. It's also a disaster for the world!

I want to ask those people who said this is the god's puinshment "What would you think if so many people died in your country and others say that it's good and it's the god's puinshment?"

Thx for god not everyone is so mean like them!

[Jaywasaki]

What God gives does NOT equal His approval or reward for you. What God takes away does NOT mean that His wrath is upon you. Before the earthquake, China remains divided. Nationalists grudges against Communists, Urban dwellers despises against countryside... But now this earthquake UNITES all people who speaks and writes the same language REGARDLESS of faith, belief and political views. This is the truth learned from this disaster! China will previal stronger! indiatruth, get a grip on reality!

[loversintheworld]

we shouldn't care of what Chinese people have done, we should only be bothered to help and pray for them atleast for humanity. plz dont be so inconsiderate. Look at this young, innocent children who have lost their lives. I m sure one day when u will have ur Children, you would never want them to go through this pain even if they have done something wrong. God Bless Them.

[cannuckistan]

indiatruth can shove his godtalk up his ass.

Can't you see that we all share a common humanity? I feel very sorry for those poor people who have lost their only child.

[wc200710]

And I felt sad too

[wc200710]

The movie should leave the original voice of the interview there and produce subtitles instead. Why dont allow me to hear what the interviewees said

[mykoolspam]

indiatruth you are so GOD DAMN retarded. just shut the hell up.

you and your so called god piss me off

and stop talking about china like you are god. i bet you dont even know where it is on the map. go ask your god where it is, perhaps he will pity your stupidity.. and while your at it, go google why china has a one-child policy you stupid retard.

long live china.

[siangal07]

Just ignore that piece of shit. He's just fking retarded.

[siangal07]

I meant indiatruth is the "piece of shit"

[Madsam02]

i will not subscribe to a god

that punishes so discriminately.

[Madsam02]

sorry, i meant indiscriminately.

[Madsam02]

your perception of justice is so strange.

[hlwanmoe1981]

agree with you.

[chenster420]

hey dumbfuck. not everything happens by god u dumbass. wtf has the chinese done to deserve this idiot. dont talk u dont know shit

[tonycl568]

you cant reason with bible thumpers, they are controlled by that fictional book, dare i say it, hoho!!

[amorefati]

Fuck your god. This isnt about religion, its human fucking life. i am soooooo sick of you stupid ignorant jerkoffs, its a natural disaster, its not god, its a fault line IN THE EARTHS CRUST PUSHING TOGETHER. "my god is right so he punishes all who oppose" is basically common christian b.s, so sick of that group, you get a big fuck you from me. go to hell, literally. what a judgement to make, grr, gotta vent on some stupid bible pusher. ass hole. = )

[rickding]

So maybe oneday God will tell u what is punishment.Just wait,u must be punished

[hlwanmoe1981]

Ummm. Sounds like...Lesson No.1 of God? :D

[xcrazymagez]

oh hey we are on lesson number 1, what number are you on with the hurricane and tornados every year

[hlwanmoe1981]

Chapter No.1! :)

[xcrazymagez]

lol thats a good save :)

but stop saying the quake is god punishing us

[connie59do]

Hi Sharon.

[b4nAnnA93]

these people have gone through enough pain. the least we can give them is our sympathy.

how can some of you commenters be so heartless?

[FarAndAwayAndImissU]

Nothing could make any one forget such a horrible incident..seeing you own child die and you can't help is just devastating...

[Inciminis]

this made me cry...

[xXYuNPoOXx]

i wish i could do something for these broken families.. donating money is not enough!

[uncageme]

people who do not understand the history of China, who are ignorant of its traditions, culture and stereotypes (positive or negative) have absolutely no right to voice their opinion on these political issues. Enough said.

[devilish1321]

So anyone disagree with Dali Lama or you is a thought police for China?

So I'm give away my hard earn money while you just sitting on your fat ass crying and pray in your temple?

You certainly have all the advantage of me. Your deal is much better ewh?

[humaner]

I am crying...The politics of China leaves this people with no grief counsellors or proper psychological help.Can these poor people sue the government for improper buildings and weak building codes.What about the children in the schools who died because of quick money con artists who made cheap buildings .If the communists didn't destroy Buddhism .Buddhist monks could help ease the peoples pain.Buddha go to China.Please.Crying,Crying for compassion and porper justice.

[devilish1321]

Oh yah? do you think Dalia Lama's politic can help? I believe some people think so. Do you think crying and tears can cause miracle happen and even stop the 8.0 earthquake? Why didn't Budda warn these people before all that had happened?

[humaner]

Hey devlish1321 I didn't mention Dalai Lama are you thought police for China ?trolling Youtube and bugging people with different views?, climb back into your hole.Better yet send money to help victims.Maybe Buddha can help your poor attitude.

[aeromech]

Such sadness and painful moments.Luckily both the parents are still strong enough to bear this grief and heartbreaking moments. For me, I don think i could go through that. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolence to Mr and Mrs Zhou. Be strong and be brave. Life has to go on. May your son's soul rest in peace.Amithaba.

[highyear]

i am from China too  ...

very sad....

[peterjones5664]

sad

[bamalick13]

I am so sorry for them

[wasulenai]

My heartfelt condolences. The whole thing is just too sad to bear.

[neela9]

吊唁 ..... :-(

[zcarii]

this is so ... sad..

[aprantiler]

çok üzgünüz çok üzüldük içimiz acıdı kalbimiz sizinle

[hsziove]

I am from China.I feel grateful for your understanding and support.This big earthquake is the biggest disaster for many people of China.I feel pity for the died people.And I wanna say "Thank you" to the people of other countrys.Thamks for your help!

[musicfamily]

This is so sad. Please help in whatever way you can.

[mistystarzlite]

the worst part is that he was able to get to his son but not being able to save him. Even so, the last words his son could speak was that he was hungry. That is devastating, especially for the father. And even now, while they're still trying to dig people out, there are mothers waiting for that last bit of hope that their child is still alive, even though it has been so long.

[200191316]

I believe there will be special policy out soon that once these victims are settle down: For those who can have children are OK to breed again.

I know it's not a right time to say this but say it anyway: Had not for the Chinese Government's family plan one child policy, there would be THREE times as much homeless now and THREE times more people die. Go figure.

[SeattleDragon]

The special policy is aready there for a long time, and much loser. There are many cases you can have 2nd child or more.

[DHchinaQueenFan]

If this happen in India, a country 1/3 of China's size but almost the same number of population, imagine what happen and how many more people die..... And China has far less beggars everywhere you go and China has less people who's occupation is going through garbages...

[DHchinaQueenFan]

Tragedy of this magnitude is beyond devastating. It's faith human being have no control what so ever and It could happen in any places in the world. Count your blessing while you still can......

[DHchinaQueenFan]

Correction: I mean" It's FATE that human being have no control .....

[DHchinaQueenFan]

If we have two, the second child won't have certain benefit from the government. Otherwise everything is the same.

[xiongm2003]

Fuck you. If we have two, then you fucking cold-blooded morons will then complain that China will be the threat to the world by consuming too much gas, food, and meat. I usually wouldn've contained myself, but looking at your stupid comment, I just couldn't help.

[starzhang0755]

Welcome to CN!

U will be regret for what U've said so far!

U will know about the real CHINA but not the one U R brain-washed to know

[1Basilisk1]

God, I feel so bad for these people.

[markat123]

This is one of the saddest things I've ever seen :'(

[lastnymleft]

So sad. The pain is palpable.

At least they were able to say their goodbyes, albeit under horrible circumstances.

[bdzlq]

There is only one China in this world, there is no need to put PRC in the bracket. ur words are shits
