“……本地的领导救援的书记告诉我超过3000人失踪，当他带着我看他的地区受到的破坏的时候，我问他有多少人死亡。他在眼泪中崩溃了。‘500人死了’，他说，其中包括他的父母、妻子、还有他的两个孩子……正当他极度悲痛的时候，他的对讲机里突然传出来消息需要他，然后他就又跑回去继续工作了”
【以下是CNN报道出来后外国网友的留言】
it's incredibly unreal to see that these people are not complaining, and are just
focusing on the relief effort. With 1.3 billion people like this, able to grind
out the toughest and most grim situations, no wonder they will be the next super
power. Can you even find 1.3 billion people like this anywhere outside of that
country?
难以置信甚至令人感觉有些虚幻地看到，这些人民没有抱怨，只是将自己的注意力集中于救济工作。13亿人同样如此，能机械地坚韧近乎冷酷地面对这种情况，所以无怪乎他们是一个超级大国.你能在世界别的地方找到这样的13亿人么？
===============================
No looting. No complaining. Just people helping people in times of devastation.
That's unheard of around here.
没有抢劫，没有抱怨，只有在毁灭性灾难发生之时人与人的互助。这是在这里（美国）从没被听说过的。
===============================
Imagine how the people of California will be acting after the "BIG" one hits. As
in New Orleans, they will all blame the government and expect the rest of us to
pay the price. Of course, the people of New Orleans WERE warned, and ignored the
warnings.....we will all continue to pay the price for many years to come.
设想下在加州的美国人在遭受这种巨大灾害的表现吧，如同在新奥尔良（飓风），他们全部会责怪政府并且期望其余地方的人们付钱救灾。当然了，新奥尔良在飓风前收到了警告，但是警告被当局忽视了……我们会在将来很多年付钱救灾。
===============================
After all the bad attention China has been getting recently, I am so proud to watch
as they band together to help others. China should be an example to the Myanmar
government. These people are showing that, when it comes down to it, material possessions
and money are nothing compared to human life.
在最近所有关于中国恶意的注意之后，我骄傲的看到他们救灾的行动，他们愿意为其他人提供帮助。中国应该成为缅甸zf的榜样。这些人民显示出，当灾难发生的时候富有和金钱远远没有生命来的宝贵.
===============================
That is absolutely amazing that the man who lost his parents, wife, AND two children
can function....i can understand how he can.....and he is helping the reporters..telling
the story...God Bless that man..this is such a horendous tragedy...and my prayers
are with the Chinese pepole through this.
那个失去父母双亲，妻子和两个孩子的男人（当地官员）令我感到震惊，他仍然在履行他的职责……我能理解他怎么能够……并且他还在帮助报道的记者……讲述他的故事……上帝保佑这个男人。这是一个horendous（不明白意思）惨剧……我的祈祷将伴随受灾的中国人民度过这个灾难。
===============================
It shows drastic change in the way that Chinese government handles natural disasters.
When the quake in Tangshen happened in 1976 which killed approx 250,000 people,
the Chinese government blocked the news and refused for any aids from outside world.
Today, the government immediately sends in soldiers and paramilitary police to
rescue people and asks for international help. The prime minister Wen Jia-Bao and
other local officials do not hide their high emotion toward the sufferings of the
people. The Chinese government may still not be perfect under different circustances,
but it should be given proper credit for trying their best to do the right things.
The world should try their part to be more understanding of today's China that
has traveled down a long and difficult path.
