China earthquake on twitter May 13

Here are some more tweets tracking on China earthquake.

download the pdf file here.

over 10,000 injuries and deaths have been reported.

after over 40 hours, finally the rescue team managed to reach the epicenter of this earthquake...
feel so sorry and sad for the people.

I saw a beggar walking by after my lunch and he looked like a real homeless person. After the Tsinghua South gate (the road leads to the gate actually) there is a gabbage can next to the steps of the cross-over bridge. He stopped and started digging (some food, I guess). I have a bag of packed (left-over) food. Well, they are still fresh as we just finished eating at Quanjude.
He seemed disappointed as he could not find anything eatable. Then, I passed one package of the food to him. Then he went to the roadside and started eating, bending his body and standing. Looks so pathetic.

Helping the people suffering from the earthquake damages is far and mos of the time we feel so powerless in such situation. As a person, there is so little we can do. At this moment, it is the team work, leaving no-one behind spirit will motivate more and more people to stay strong and get ready to rebuild their life. I know it's tough. The world is trying to help. It will take a couple of years to get recovered from such large-scaled disaster. Hope for the best!
