William's Walk The Great Walk on the Great Wall of China is fantastic. As the son of a cancer victim, I take great pleasure doing my share towards fighting cancer. Walking on the Great Walk is so challenging, but I will beat it, just like we’re going to beat cancer…

thanks for the pictures, to remember those moments.
i was there on the 16th floor of an office building in chengdu city proper. and when i realized a quake was hapenning i couldn't even stand straight 'cos everything was moving from one side to another.
getting downstairs and pulling myself together, i called home to make sure parents were OK...but the next minute i started to understand what this meant to a place 92km from where i was.
hopefully this will soon be over and everything can be reestablished, the homes, the facilities and the confidence over everything.

Hi Nnmsat, You're so lucky! We should cherish what we have today and do the best to the people as we can, 'cos someday they may do the same to us. One is small, however if we can always stand together, we're strong! All the best!
