~~19 until 21 May...Mourning Period for China Earthquake~~

Start from today, China launches three-day mourning period for the victims of the nation's massive earthquake.This is a strong aftershocks rock the whole region. Officials asked for the horns of cars, trains and ships and air raid sirens to sound as people fell silent at 2:28 p.m. — exactly one week after the quake splintered thousands of buildings and killed an estimated 33,000 people and another 250,000 injured. The national flag in Tiananmen Square, which is raised in a solemn ceremony every morning at dawn, fluttered at half staff. To mark the mourning period, the logos of all newspapers/website were printed in black and the National Grand Theater canceled or postponed all performances. Trade on China's stock and commodities exchanges will be suspended for three minutes. Today all of us wear dark/white color shirt to work. At 14:28 afternoon, all the cars outside the road really raid sirens and all people silent for 3 minutes... such a sad situation :(

This is the video that i take from office around 1 hours after the earthquake...
