As Xu Zhiyuan wrote in Financial Times," our national personalities are endurance, tough-willing, negativity, very-short-memory and tending to a mysterious outlook on life. "

ActualIy we have already forgetten a lot of things just in 2008, the Snow disaster in Chinese NewYear, and14th Marth's Tibetan riot, Train wreck in Shandong and Deadly children virus in Anhui. Let alone the things have already passed away in passed years. Every time you rethought about it, you will feel weak and suffocated.
I pray for us don't be forgetful this time. Don't forget about the cause of " jerry-built project " and the inefficient Shifang-local administrations. Don't let all victims die for nothing.
" Many times, we fell in love with our own loftiness and compassion, not the victims. " Xu Zhiyuan said,
" Our country never changed by earthquake in 12th May, all problems was, and is problems, the government is still the arrogant one, we still surrounded by materialism and a selfish, indifferent society, we still have to face the environmental pollution and serious corruption, everyone hold strong feelings of insecurity, tent to cynical philosophy......Those issues might be forgotten temporarily by the huge sudden-coming sorrow, but they didn't just disapear automatically.
Whereas, if we can handle all the compassion and energy brought by the disaster in right ways, maybe it will be directed to a regular road, become the yeast of our expected social change. Wenchaun earthquake caused death, blood, tears and desperation, at the same time it waked up people's sympathy and conscience.-- Does the warmest light always burst out from inner of our hearts in hard time, many times, doesn't it?
......Forgetting is all the time our tradition. I can't look forward a prompt change, but at least, I hope we can give more thoughts this time. "
