 | On Mar. 11, a very serious earthquake attacked Japan. The earthquake and the tsunami have killed a lot of people. I am sorry to hear it. In my life, I have never experienced the earthquake except that I was terrified by the Sichuan earthquake. When the Sichuan earthquake happened, I was surfing on the internet (lying on the bed) at home. Suddenly, the bed and furniture started to shake. At the beginning, I was struck and didn’t know what to do. Then I heard someone shouting “It’s earthquake. Run, run, run…”. When I ran downstairs, I saw a lot of people standing there. Over the next couple of days, I hadn’t been sleeping well during the night because I was afraid that the earthquake would happen again. I even slept outside one night. Gradually, everything was back on track. When I am reminded of the Sichuan earthquake in 2008, I still feel panic though my city was very far from Sichuan. Did you experience any earthquake? How did you feel? |

| I was sleeping in my dormitory when the Sichuan earthquake happened. Actually, all my roommates were sleeping except one who was surfing the internet. It was she who woke us up: ‘earthquake, earthquake...’ At first, we thought she was cheating us. But after feeling the shake, it really turned into a mass in our room. One jumped into the floor from the upper berth and hurt the foot (fortunately it was not injured); one sat in bed and did not know what to do. Then I shouted: ‘all people go to the under berth’. However, one took the ‘under berth’ as ‘under the bed’ and cried, coz we had too many stuff under the bed and she just could not squeeze in… We didn’t sleep outside at night those days, we went to sleep in turn and there was always one or two who’s wake. But many of my schoolmates did and the school playground really turned into a ‘refugee camp’ at night time.  |

| LINGYUXISU, How did the playground look like after they went away? Still clean? If you read the news reports about the earthquake in Japan, you will notice that many praise Japanese people. After the earthquake, they still queue for entering the supermarkets to buy things. The square where they stayed at was still clean after they left.  |

| They reminded me of the 2008 snow disasters in China. A guy who was trapped on the highway shared his experience. The instant noodles cost 50 yuan, an spiced boiled egg with tea leaves 10 yuan and a bottle of purified water, 20 yuan. The passengers had no other ways but accepted the prices because they were hungry. |

But I could see the dew-wet bed clothes everywhere in the school campus the following day. Students were airing them anywhere there was sunshine. |
