10 Years Today is the 10th anniversary of the Wenchuan earthquake. 10 years ago, when I was sitting on the playground, watching my classmates running on the athletic track, while we were having a sport meeting, there was the most devastating earthquake in China since 1998 which was one thousand mile away from my school. When my friend told me that there was an earthquake in Sichuan, I didn't really believe her. I felt nothing when some classmates said that our teaching building were shaking as well. Then there was a little panic, cause our schoolmaster sent some teachers to find the students left in the teaching building. I couldn't really imagine how horrible that day was for all the people in Sichuan, more than 60000 people were died, 300000 people were hurt and almost 20000 went missing. That happend just 3 months before the Beijing Olympic Games. Among these people, died, hurt or missing, there were a lot of heros, some teachers choosed to protect and rescue their students at the first moment the disaster came, they shielded the students with their own body. I still remembered there was a teacher who held his students so tightly that the rescuers had to saw off his arms to set the children free. When facing the catastrophe,we are all small and weak. We have never forgot that day, we would never forget that day, we shouldn't forget that day, it's scar, a mark and a lable for all Chinese people. Those who were gone are all angels, those who were left are all lucky guys. Sometimes, the meaning of leaving is maybe helping us to cherish every single moment of life, even it's so hard, you should never give up. Time is so powerful that it may change everything. Sometimes, I imagine how will I be like in 10 years, will I still be stubborn or will I compromise with myself? Then I will sigh, saying "time will tell", it might be the best way to avoid all the terrible feeling, like anxiaty, depression and incertainty about futur. Anyway, life isn't a bowl of cherries, what is important si that we seize time to do what we really want to do and say goodbye to the past.
