The tears of Beichuan. The recent earthquake in China.


As of right now in Beichuan, China, there are thousands of people who are lost and have died. It is because of the earthquake that has recently hit China. Half of Beichuan's human population had decreased. The chinese authorities are in a very difficult situation right now. Many offices, building, schools were ruined. The schools had collapsed while 800 students were in the building. Beichuan is in the status of cannot being rebuilt. Beichuan desperately needs help.

Beichuan lies in the moutains which rise up from the rice growing plains of Sichuan, to the Tibetan plateau to the north. The town in Beichuan was built in 1951. The town was already known as a place which was at risk of earthquakes. Longmen or Dragon Gate seismic fault, had triggered the quake. The magnitude of the earthquake was approximately 8.0.

There were approximately 3.3million tents for the homeless. It also increased the offical death toll of 55,000 in China. From the survivors, 4,000 of them were orphans. There was no decision or hope for their future until the situation of the missing became clear. The ground and the dams became unstable to.

Chinese people say that this event can be remembered as a history. Many loved ones had died because of the earthquake. Beichuan is asking for all the help they can get. It is said the Beichuan is impossible to rebuild. The landscapes had changed if you look from above. Anouther earthquake may be heading towards anywhere. It is always good to be ready. This may be the beginning of a huge natural disaster.
