BEIJING -- The earthquake that jolted southwest China's Sichuan Province on Monday is undoubtedly one of the nation's worst disasters in recent decades.
Nearly 15,000 lives were lost and about twice as many people are feared to have still been buried in the rubble on Wednesday.
The disaster pulls everyone's heartstrings,and the Chinese nation has been united to cope with its common plight,extend help and pray for more people to survive.
Tears swelled in my eyes when I saw towns and cities were flattened and children of my son's age were buried in the rubble.
Yet we gasped at the courage,wisdom and perseverance of some survivors:a 6-year-old who nibbled at an apple for more than 40 hours in the ruins until she was pulled out by rescuers; a senior high school boy who calmly told the other boys to "be brave" and the girls "not to cry" and wrenched open a crumbling wall through which 33 classmates escaped.
While we lament over the lost lives,we feel clearly the human nature of love,even amid disaster.
Love helped a 3-year-old girl survive the quake,underneath the dead bodies of her parents.
Love saved a child in the arms of his kindergarten teacher,who sandwiched himself between the boy and a falling floor slab and died.
Driven by love,a businesswoman risked her life to enter her ruined store to find cloth for shrouds to preserve the dignity of the dead.
Love makes the world go 'round.
Chinese compatriots across the globe have opened their wallets to donate cash.
Many also rummaged through their wardrobes for clothing,quilts and sheets,and rolled up their sleeves to donate blood for the quake victims.
By Wednesday,Beijingers had filled the city's blood bank and authorities had to tell the waiting crowds to leave their phone numbers and wait until more blood is needed.
As of 4 pm on Wednesday,donations of cash and goods to the quake-hit areas were valued at 877 million yuan (125 million US dollars),according to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
A group of 18 mountaineers from Beijing,including doctors,business owners and office workers,flew to Pengzhou,a quake-hit area in Sichuan on Wednesday,hoping to help rescue the victims with their field survival skills.
Where there's life,there's hope.
"We have to save people at all costs!"
At Premier Wen Jiabao's plea,90 more helicopters were sent to quake-hit areas on Thursday.
More People's Liberation Army soldiers have parachuted into the most remote regions.
Rescuers are searching the ruins for life.
Supplies are being airdropped and communication is being restored.
We watch closely the rescue work and the fate of those buried in the rubble.
All the while,we cross our fingers,hoping our nation will make it through the trial.

北京-周一发生在中国西南的四川省的地震,在近数十年来,无疑是一个民族的最严重的灾害.
截止到周三,近1.5万人丧生,估计有3万人恐怕仍埋在瓦砾中.
灾难拉动每个人的心,中国人民联合起来,以共同应对困境,给他们帮助和祈祷,让更多的人生存.
当我看到城镇和城市被夷为平地,与我儿子年龄相仿的儿童被埋在瓦砾中,我已经热泪盈眶了.
然而,我们被一些幸存者的勇气、智慧和毅力感到：一个被埋的六岁小女孩靠吃一个苹果,坚持了40个小时,直到被救出；一个高中男孩冷静的告诉其他的男孩要“勇敢”,安慰女孩“不要哭”,他独自一个人掰开一个摇摇欲坠的墙,帮助33个同学脱离险境.
同时,我们痛惜失去了过去的生活,我们能够感受到人性的爱,即使是在灾难面前.
是爱,让3岁女童从地震中幸存,她身子底下是她父母的尸体.
是爱挽救了一个孩子,他的幼稚园教师把他抱在怀里,而他却被夹死在孩子与坍塌的楼板之间.
在爱情的驱动下,一个商人冒着生命进入到他女友的快倒塌的商店,以有尊严的死去.
爱遍布全球.
中国同胞在全球各地掏出他们的钱包,捐出现金.
也有不少同胞从他们的衣橱拿出衣服,棉被和床单,并踊跃的拉起他们的袖子为地震灾民献血.
截止到周三,北京的血库满了,而且政府不得不告诉等候的人群记下他们的电话号码,并随时等待更多的需要补充的血液.
截至周三下午4时,根据民政部的统计,捐赠的现金和货物,总价值达到8.77亿元（ 125万美元） .
由18个登山者组成的小分队从北京出发,其中包括医生,私营老板和机关工作人员,飞到了四川彭州,这里周三发生了地震,希望帮助抢救受害者并教会他们的野外生存技能.
哪里有生命,哪里就有希望.
“我们救人要不惜一切代价” !
在温家宝总理的请求,周四,90多架直升机,分别被送往地震受灾最严重的地区.
很多解放军士兵跳伞到最偏远的地区.
救援人员正在寻找废墟中幸存者.
生活物质被空投下去,通信正在修复.
我们密切关注救援工作和那些被埋在瓦砾中生命.
总之,我们期盼着,希望我们的国家渡过难关.
