Come, see the spirit of modern China
Together with a general surge of patriotism among the Chinese people, the massive rescue operation in the aftermaths of the Sichuan earthquake earned the country grudging respect worldwide.
In a recent UN briefing in Geneva, a Western journalist who wanted to pick bones on China's handling of the international media during the calamity was bluntly told to shut up by the UN official, who, by the way, was not a Chinese. As the world can see, international journalists are free to roam the disaster areas and file their reports and images. We have nothing to hide. To the Chinese leadership, saving lives and minimizing hardship have a much higher priority.
The emergency program is activated within minutes after the 8 degree earthquake on the Richter Scale breaks out at 14:28 of May 12, and Premier Wen Jiabao is airborne to ground zero one and a half hours later. He stays on the frontline for three days, holding meetings, giving directions and rushing from one disaster area to another amidst aftershocks and landslides, listening and talking directly to the people.
He is later relieved by President Hu Jintao, who has stayed in the capital to organize the airlift within hours after the strike. Several hundred thousand people are directly involved in this massive rescue operation, of which over 100,000 are our People's Liberation Army soldiers, who had successfully accomplished another relief and rescue mission during a severe snowstorm in southern part of the country just two months ago.
People are quickly mobilized, following intensely the round-the- clock coverage of the disaster on TV. A construction company immediately rushes its equipment to the affected area, arriving at the same time with the military. Food and supplies flood the entire region from people all over the country to supplement those coming from the government and foreign countries. Behind the half a million people on the frontline, there are 1.3 billion Chinese people, together with 30 million overseas Chinese, as well as millions of kind-hearted people around the world solidly behind them in this battle against time.
One variety show on CCTV alone has managed to raise 1.5 billion yuan. A similar amount has also been raised within days in Hong Kong, which sends also its rescue team once the disaster area is accessible. Rescue teams from Japan and Russia are among the first international teams on the site. Thousands of people are dug out of the debris alive. All injured patients receive immediate medical attention and are then systematically transferred to hospitals in neighboring cities, which have made rooms to accommodate them. During this rescue operation, the civic society in China is clearly maturing and showing its prowess.
The first priority is to save as many people in the critical 72 hours. Reaching the scattered destroyed villages and towns in successive aftershocks are treacherous missions by themselves. Even the perilous mountain trails are now devastated by the earthquake, and with heavy turbulence, highly dangerous terrains make helicopters difficult to land and parachuting suicidal. Yet, our well-trained and daring soldiers have managed to conquer all the odds, some jump into the unknown after scribbling a will to their loved ones. Within this golden period, practically all spots in the large and scattered disaster area have been covered. Sometimes with bare hands and light tools, soldiers work day and night to save as many lives as possible. This is their strict order.
Soon more rescue teams have arrived and are immediately deployed to save more lives. You can share the joy watching on TV a body, not yet sure whether dead or alive, being rushed out of the pile of concrete. Some survivors are recovered after 160 hours of burial and are miraculously still alive. In most cases, the rescuing soldiers have to carry the injured and the aged on foot and hack their way out in mountainous terrain, braving falling rocks. Many of them are not in the rank and file of soldiers, officers of different ranks are all on the firing line.
Providing food, temporary shelters and medical services to the million survivors is a massive job, especially on an ad hoc basis and without notice. Yet we have managed almost without a hitch to launch it soon. Like Tangshan 32 years ago, our government will see to it that the new towns and villages will be much better and safer than before.
Heroes and their most touching heroic acts spring up many times a day, and many are relayed by reporters with tears and watched with more tears by people all over the world. Calamity of such a large scale is unique in human history, and the subsequent and rehabilitation operation can only be ranked first class.
Such a great tragedy and such courage facing it reflect the spirit of modern China. It is built on prolonged period of hardship and sufferings, and our people have determined not to yield to anything, not even to severe snow-storms and violent earthquakes. They can hurt us, take away our loved ones and destroy our homes. They can hurt us badly, but we are not defeated, never. We will hold our tears, bury our dead, look after the injured and the sick, rehabilitate the masses and give them a better future. Yes we will, and nobody can stand in our way.
And yes, the Beijing Olympic Games in August are definitely on. We have committed to the hosting of these important international events, and we are resolute to make it the most successful Olympic Games ever. Writing on the day of national mourning, as a Chinese, I can speak from the bottom of my heart of a sentiment which I am sure can represent that of most of my countrymen: we are so proud of our country and our peoples, as we have never been for the past 170 years. Please come and take a look and find out for yourself the reasons why.

Courageous spirit
The Sichuan earthquake has galvanised the people of China and revealed their resolve, resilience and unity as a nation.
AT 2.28pm on May 12, China suffered its worst earthquake since the founding of the People’s Republic 59 years ago. The massive tremor measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale devastated a swathe of central Sichuan province with the epicentre perilously close to the provincial capital Chengdu. Whole towns were reduced to rubble, schools collapsed, five million people were made homeless and now in the aftermath, what remains of population centres in the region are under threat of submersion by the rising waters of lakes formed by rivers truncated by landslides. On June 1, three weeks after the quake, some 69,000 people were reported dead, 368,000 injured and 18,000 still missing.
The way a nation or government responds to disaster, especially one of such unimaginable magnitude is a good indication of character and capability; the legendary resilience of the Chinese temperament has been proven true.
For those who have closely followed the event, the strength, spirit and solidarity of the Chinese people in the face of massive devastation as well as the discipline and dedication of the armed forces are nothing short of impressive. In the quake zone itself, tales emerged of incredible altruism – teachers who sacrificed their lives to save students; a farmer who had just lost his only son, yet worked tirelessly to rescue the children of others; a policewoman who nursed an orphaned baby.
In Fujian last week, as I am sure is the case in every part of China, the “Wenchuan Earthquake” cropped up frequently in conversation.
One of my regular taxi drivers is an ex-People’s Liberation Army soldier from a township near my grandfather’s village. After picking me up at Xiamen airport, he could hardly wait to tell me about the selfless courage of the army rescuers.
When I expressed concern over the 200 rescuers who had been buried in a landslide, he assured me their families would be looked after by the government as they would be designated heroes who had died in the course of duty. He said all taxis pulled off the road to participate in the nationwide three minutes of silence on May 19, exactly a week after the quake. He had already donated 2,000 yuan (RM930) to the relief effort and would give more as soon as he had the funds.
Meanwhile, a coach full of determined-looking men from a Fujian construction company passed us on the expressway. Large red banners on the vehicle’s front and sides announced they were on their way to help in the quake zone.
Another taxi operator, a Mr. Chen of Fuqing city, who one day drove me to Fuzhou said: “When our country is faced with difficulties it is naturally our duty as Chinese citizens to do what we can”. He too had donated over 2,000 yuan and intended to give more. I asked if others in Fuqing were as supportive to which he replied: “Almost every family would have given something.”
Certainly this is also true of the schools, including the one in my grandfather’s village. The headmaster told me that after the three-minute silence, students and teachers pooled together about 10,000 yuan (RM4,650) for the relief fund, with many of the children dropping their pocket money into the box. Such aid would be channelled through the Fuqing charity association or alternatively, through designated banks, which issue receipts for contributions.
In Fuqing city, a streamer at the post office declared that no fees would be charged for remittances for quake assistance, while a local hospital offered the chance to win a free gynaecological examination with every 10 yuan (RM4.65) donation. A sign at a local store advertised a special for customers whereby a minimum stored value of 50 yuan (RM23) in their handphones would be converted to 70 yuan (RM32.50) worth of talk time if they gave 1 yuan (50 sen) to the relief fund. The poster urged customers with the reminder, “We have a responsibility to support the disaster zone!”
In the wake of the earthquake, after the initial shock and grief, some angry parents are now demanding an answer for the schools that collapsed. Besides the daunting task of reconstructing whole towns and innumerable new housing units, there will also surely be many questions to be answered. And as some have pointed out in hindsight, earthquake and other disaster measures and procedures will need to be established to minimise the impact of future catastrophes.
However, any other nation in a similar situation can learn from the orderly behaviour of the hundreds of thousands of tent-dwelling victims and their spirit of mutual self-help in the face of loss, as well as from the confident, active leadership of top levels of government and most of all, from the care and generosity shown by all segments of society.
No wonder a favourite saying in China these days is “Difficulties arise in one place, but help comes from all directions”.
