Dreadful disaster, great motherhood!

Special report: Strong Earthquake Jolts SW China BEIJING, May 19 (Xinhuanet) -- The Sichuan earthquake of 8.0 magnitude has killed more than 32,000 people and rescue work in the quake-hit areas is going on for the eighth day Monday. Stories of great motherhood, the brightest spot in human nature, are carried throughout the nation. In the afternoon of May 12, shocked by the great trembling of the quake, Jiang Xiaojuan, a policewoman from Jiangyou county, said nothing. But she handed her 6-month-old baby to her parents with no hestation and directly hurried out to find the disaster victims and give them help.
As a mother, Xiaojuan knew best what to do. She went to the orphaned babies who were crying of hunger. She breastfed them and gave them her loving care. Xiaojuan realized at the moment that life must go on and she is the mother of them all. On May 13, the second day of the quake, rescuers in Wenchuan county found a mother -- dead from crush for over 20 hours -- still had her 3-month-old son under her. The little thing was, alas, sleeping peacefully! Evidently, the dead mother was protecting her baby by prostrating her own body. When rescuers unwrapped the blanket from around the baby, they read a text message on the phone screen: "My dear baby, if you live, you must remember that I love you." Song Xinyi, a three-year-old girl in Beichuan county, was saved after more than forty hours fighting for life. Now she is in a hospital recovering from her wounds.
Civil affairs officials in Sichuan Province estimate there will be a big number of kids who have lost their parents in the quake as rescue work goes on. However, they said they are considering registrations for people who are willing to adopt earthquake orphans and will start the adoption process after normality is resotred in the areas. from: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-05/19/content_8207031.htm Feeling: When I saw this news I feel that it's not easy to be a mother. I also think that all the mothers in the world is great! And when I look at this news, it is so moving that I was about to cry.After this earthquake has happened, all the news on TV is reporting it. However, I just don't want to see it anymore. The more video I watched, the sadder I felt. So I just don't want to see all these things. Being a mother is not easy, so we all should be thankful to our parents. And I think since the baby can't be raised by his/her mother. He/She definitely will understand the love that his/her mother gave him/her is unbreakable. |

3 boys killed in Iraq airstrike, companion says
BAGHDAD (CNN) -- Three Iraq boys were killed in an airstrike in eastern Baghdad on Saturday as they were sifting through trash, looking for stuff to sell, said a 10-year-old boy wounded in the attack.
Ambulances sit damaged after a U.S. attack Saturday near Baghdad's Al-Sadr Hospital.

"I was hit by an American helicopter," Ahmed Yahya said. "I was with a group of about 10 children who were collecting empty soft drink cans in Jamila. We haven't done anything."
U.S. military officials confirmed firing two Hellfire missiles at a rooftop in the vicinity about the same time that the boy said the attack took place. However, they say the only damage U.S. forces saw was to the rooftop.
Another boy said his brother died in the attack.
Dr. Jawad al-Mousawi, chief doctor at Imam Ali hospital in Sadr City, said the hospital received the bodies of three boys and a wounded boy about 2 p.m. He said the hospital saw three other fatalities and treated 23 wounded people from airstrikes and fighting across the city.
An ambulance driver at the hospital said it took three hours to transport the boys because of fighting in the area.
Elsewhere in Baghdad, U.S. soldiers killed five suspected militants and detained 24 others in fighting Friday and Saturday in the city's southern Rashid district.
Earlier Saturday at least 28 people were wounded in a U.S. attack on a building near a hospital in Baghdad's sprawling Sadr City area, an Iraqi Interior Ministry official said.
Employees of al-Sadr Hospital were among the wounded, and the facility's property sustained damage, including to some ambulances, the official said.
In a statement, the U.S. military said the strike targeted "known criminal elements."
"We did hit the target, which was a criminal command and control center, which was near a hospital," the military said, adding that it was assessing damages.
Don't Miss
The Interior Ministry official called the attack an airstrike, but the U.S. military said it was a guided multiple-launch rocket system strike. These guided rockets are launched from armored vehicles.
Al-Sadr Hospital is one of the two main medical facilities in the district, where Iraqi and U.S. troops have been battling Shiite militias loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
The strike left a large hole in the ground near the hospital, video footage showed. Chunks of concrete and other rubble covered the ground, and car windows were shattered.
The southern portion of Sadr City has been walled off so that U.S. military and Iraqi security forces can control movements there.

Feeling:
Recently, I have seen a movie called "The Kite Runner." Therefore, after I saw this news and it really overlap with the movie. I feel grievous to the boys. And I also think about the scenery after wars. The people are innocent. How could they kill people that have no weapons on there hands?I really really hate about wars. Wars are subversive. The countries which involved in would be damaged. Many people will die in the war, and the places after wars would be dilapidated, and it will spend much time to return how it like before. There is an action in the movie that the boy who was grown went back to the places that he used to play. Everywhere has changed, and he wanted to find things that was left during his childhood. Finally, he found a trunk of tree which he carved on it haven't been destroyed.
Many bad things will happen during the war, and I detest them. I wish the world would in peace someday.....
