National Mourning Ceremony In China

21st April 2010 is a special day for China. China held national mourning ceremony for more than 2 000 people died in last week’s earthquake.

Thousands of soldiers, civilians and officials in Xining and the provincial capital of Qinghai attended this ceremony.

Chinese national flags in Beijing, Qinghai and other areas were flown at hall-staff and the China government ordered cancellation of all the public entertainment on 21st April 2010.

All the media in China were concerned this mourning ceremony. Newspapers and websites reversed their front pages to white text on a black background as a traditional mark of mourning.

This is a serious earthquake happened in China after Sichuan earthquake. Now, China and its civilians are facing a challenge again. The only thing that I can do is pray for them include those are still alive and hope that they able to confront the challenges in the future. This is because we have to believe that tomorrow is always better than today, so that they have the courage to face those challenges.
