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…

55,740 Heartbreaking Number

China has officially reported the death of the quake 55,740 today. What a heartbreaking number!

55,740 people, if they form a town, it will be a thriving town; if they lie on the road, it can be 10km long; they are from at least 20,000 families; their average age will not exceed 40...

Just swiped tears off my cheek from the mourning for the past 3 days, on hearing this number I can't stop my tears from dropping down to my keyboard. It's a pity for me not able to get the chance to go there for rescue because of the government control procedures. What if I was there to save at least one or two?
