    An earthquake happened in Wenchuan town, Sichuan Province, southwest china, till now more than 12,100 people had died, with more than 26,000 injured, 7,800 missing and more than 9,400 trapped beneath debris, only 3,000 of the town's 12,000 residents survived the quake.

    Yao has donated 500,000RMB (about 70,000 USD), now people there need your help, in any kind of way that your can do.

    Let's pray for them!

    The country has shut down their electrical grid and shut down some oil refineries and oil wells as a result of damage to their infrastructure. Look for the price of oil to go over $130/bbl next week.

    it's not because it's about china, not about related issues, even not about yao, it's about lives, which are more than anything else.

    True, I'm glad it made its way into this section though. Does anyone know a very credible organization to donate to to help these people in need? I don't want to see my money in the wrong hands.

    温总理说过:
    一个很小的问题,乘以13亿,都会变成一个大问题;
    一个很大的总量,除以13亿,都会变成一个小数目。
    现在我们要说:
    一点很小的善心,乘以13亿,都会变成爱的海洋;
    一个很大的困难,除以13亿,都会变得微不足道。
    让这句话变成我们抗震救灾的口号吧!在伸出您的手帮助灾区人民的同时,请将这句话转发到您所在的每一个群里,谢谢!
