Till Death Do Us Apart? Not for this man!

The man in the above picture is carrying the dead body of his wife as he tries to find a better place to bury her rather than to leave her with the thousands of other dead bodies....

The Sichuan earthquake has truly shaken Heaven and Earth. It has not only caused untold human suffering, but reshaped geographical features in many parts of the province. The quake, measuring 8 on the Richter scale, has razed mountains to the ground, blocked rivers and created temporary lakes from landslides. In Qingchuan, for example, two mountains crashed into each other, wiping out an entire village and creating a lake in its place. Many of these "lakes" and rivers now threaten to burst and flood some of the worst-hit disaster areas. Today, a Chinese government spokesman says the confirmed death toll in this week's massive earthquake has risen to almost 32000 already and is expected to go up to 50,000!

The following link has many other heart-breaking photos with captions on this biggest natural disaster in China ever!

When ever i saw these pictures, i always remind my self, there are some people around me might going through an earthquake in their life but they can't cried out because they are worry about what other people thing or even they did, but no one heard it because We are so busy to go for our dream, our timetable..etc. At the end, those people who need help or a warm word from our heart just turn into having mental problem. This earthquake had awaken my soul too.

The images are so hard to see, especially the children. Being a father of 2, it really hurts to see the tragic aftermath that falls onto the families. I cannot imagine and can only hope the best for them. Donating is the least we can do.

many people in my country are helping send food in the embassy cina. it is sad to see how many parents lose their children and they only have one, I think. terrible.

earthquakes are common in china? the buildings should be improved? In my country we had an earthquake in the ocean (200 km in the sea, near my city) the city of sao paulo trembled. Not much happened, but if one day happen, we will be lost.

I couldn't hold back the tears when I was watching the coverage on tv over this weekend. It's heartbreaking.

I was in Sichuan half years ago, and still can't believe such horrible things happened in Sichuan. May God have mercy on the victims.

The rescue workers are true heroes, so dedicated and hanging on to hope. the pictures are upsetting but a must to be seen for people to realise the devastation. I hope the gentleman can find a burial spot for his wife, so very sad.

Yes, I can't stop crying when I watch the news everyday. We can't go to the frontline, but we can donate some money to help them.

All we who are so far away can do is give money.

It seems like such a paltry contribution.

I hope they continue to find more victims who've survived.  Kids have an amazing capacity for survival hidden in crevices and pockets in the rubble.

I wish all the life sniffing dogs from around the world were all on their way to China.
