Schools & Hospitals Fell?

I know this piece of blog came a bit too late since now it's almost 2 weeks after the deadly earthquake in Sichuan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Sichuan_earthquake) at 14:28 on May 12th(Beijing Time) this year. Lots of things kept me out of writing through this month.

It's uneasy to see the miserable photos of death and death and death even from the Internet, no wonder on the spot. Though it's not appropriate to lift this up, I just can't help questioning (guess I'm not alone): WHY do most fallen buildings happen to be schools and hospitals, and those banks and government offices still stand safe and sound??

Schools are full of kids. Hospitals are full of patients. Suppose people in need of the greatest help were living in the most dangerous buildings. Why, whoever, the builders, architecturers or local governments, never made any precautions and always take the so-called make-up actions after the tragedies happened? What did they most care for before?

All could be seen in Sichuan is cement fragments and tears. People have lost their greatest treasures: family, home, food and water. What's worse, the reconstruction will take years for sure. Seeing this, anyone with conscience will sob (well, hopefully no one will think it's a karma like lady Sharon Stone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYoZEn9vlzE).

So far, 2008 came with no luck for China: snowstorm disasters in the South, nation-wide inflations, stock market blackout, train crash, Tibet riots, and the dreadfully killer earthquake. It is said that miseries make people strong. I believe we can go through as long as we unit. Sichuaness, you're great and be strong!!
