In only several days, huge amount of money has flowed in. This shows how deeply we are concerned about the disaster and how high the government's credibility is in its relief effort. Money came from different parts of the world. People donate money according to their actual financial conditions.

Wang Yongqing, founder of a plastics giant, made a generous donation of 100 million yuan while many ordinary citizens gave a few yuans. Behind each donation is love and compassion. And the total amount keeps rising rapidly.

Although no one has asked where his contribution went, the government is fully aware that the public is concerned about the money management and the specific procedures. Whether the money goes toward the government's account or any foundation's account, every source is to be documented and tracked in a transparent way. Wang Zhenyao, director of the Disaster Relief Department of Ministry of Civil Affairs, said: "Without transparency, people will get angry!"

But at this critical moment, there is no time to publicize every donation because saving more lives is foremost task right now. And people will not criticize the government for this. People only hope that the money will get to the hands of victims as soon as possible. However, our government did not simplify its working procedure because of the arduous rescue task. The more urgent the situation is, the more detailed the work is. This shows the calm and the courage of a highly efficient and pragmatic government when facing a great disaster.

As a young mother with a four-month-old baby, I am especially concerned with the child victims.

I have been in great agonies since I knew from TV news that many newly-born babies slept nakedly under only one quilt.

The new-born babies are transferred to a safe place

My heart aches for those innocent angels who are also suffering from the disaster. How much I want to hug them!

The teachers who saved children from the jaws of death at the cost of their own lives, and the medical staff and rescuers who insisted on helping the victims without any information about their own relatives, all moved me to tears.

This kind of silent heroism is the most beautiful human nature.

I pray that all child survivors can someday forget the earthquake nightmare and grow healthily. I also call on all people in society who are capable of supporting them to love those children.

Yesterday our class initiated a donation campaign. Immediately, a poor classmate donated 50 yuan for the quake-hit areas, leaving him only 3.6 yuan to live on for the rest of the month

Deeply moved by him, I believe that the Chinese people are all relatives and can get through the catastrophe together.

I come from Taiwan and experienced the disastrous September 21 earthquake in 1999.

From these disasters we can feel the true love among people in the face of merciless nature.

From these disasters I learn that we should respect lives and nature.

We should cherish the values of people and nature around us.
