The reason that I choose this article is because it happened near my home town Chengdu the capital city of Sichuan Province, and it's caused lots of people died and lots of people homeless. This major earthquake was happened in 12th of May, it measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale struck Wenchuan county. This is the biggest earthquake in the past 30 years.
It is a disaster for the local people, there are thousands of people died and serious injured in this earthquake. Lots of people lost there hope. But the Chinese government has very fast to responded of this emergency situation. Thousands of soldiers have been sent to the region around Sichuan to support all the effected by the disaster. The victims also got help from the international red cross.
After the earthquake there are lots of things need Chinese people to do, the victims from the earthquake also need help for a very long time. However, through this disaster people in China become more unit and brave. They just need time to built their home and hope again.
