'China keep moving'
The taxi stops suddenly; at once all sirens, horns blare at once.
Whole city cries for silence. Heart racing, waiting. People stand
at attention facing the street, each other, the sky. A moment of
silence. No one knows who to believe, warning issued last night
predicts another quake today, radio says not to worry. Dormitories
at Sichuan U. were evacuated. Even more people outside now. Worried
people.
Tianfu Square is packed. Fists raised high, a thousand voices
cry out, "China, Keep moving!" Red flags everywhere, people united.
Faces contorted by passion, tears, fear, pain, loss, togetherness,
anger.
Despite all, the people are holding together.
Never seen such solidarity in crisis. Real humanity.
