OH MY BUDDHA!! Earthquake, Aftershocks!!! Huge one in Chengdu in 58years. How?? We never get that kind of thing, because Chengdu’s awesome!
Just found my Dad at home after talked to him yesterday before the aftershocks. During the earthquake, my dad’s wine bottles all fall down, and the refrigerator been moved for 10 inches. During the aftershock, their building was shaking. My mom’s cell phone doesn’t work now, because of the damage, wireless, network don’t work, only house phone works so far. My parents visited my grandmamma the next day after the earthquake, and my mom will spend few more days with her.
So I called my dad just now, he was laughing and laughing, he told me everyone was gathering together outside to hang out, even they never met before, things were moving in their home and stores, they felt they were on waves, like boating in sea. My dad believes Chengdu will always be fine no matter what. Then he laughed just like buddha.
Thank Buddha, my family and friends and their family are fine. But the little city DU JIANG YAN, I almost visit there every year is shaking now, not the earthquake, their people. more than 10,000 people dead. There is a family we know, their house is surrounding by mountains, what happened to them? Are they ok? They have 2 kids, were they in the school, or I hope they’re fine…..I have to visit them when I go back to China sometime, just to make sure the place we loved is fine. My friends and I had so much fun there. The day before my Chinese wedding party, friends all went there, stayed with the family and those 2 cute kids, which was a great time for my friends.
I just hope Buddha will bring so much love from everywhere to DU JIANG YAN, a beautiful city with so many awesome sceneries and their lovely people.
