Dujiangyan is the site of the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, a two-thousand-year-old water diversion project that may have been damaged in the earthquake. Would someone please go check up on that? My prayers go to all victims of the tragedy.

The People of America will provide ANY help the People of China need. Let's not let this be another Burma!

Images flowing out of this disaster zone says a lot. On the one hand, the loss of life is very tragic and saddening. On the other hand, the world should learn from China's very high level of organisation, intervention, solidarity and nationalism. I only wish we all could see China's true values

Only in China you coud feel why Chinese people are so admirable. Whenever there's disaster, people here are unified, cooperative and willing to sacrifice. Today I saw thousands of people here, a mid-sized town far from Sichuan, were in long queues for blood donor for people of the quake-hit areas. They were quiet, but you could see how they loved their country and there fellow people.

The Chinese are hardy and brave people. They will overcome all obstacles. Hope the gallant PLA rescuers will save more people and quickly bring this disaster to an end. Hope the people will rebuild their lives and homes soonest.
Prayers also go to the Myanmarese. May they too recover soonest.

I am originally from the UK and I have been working at Animals Asia's Moon bear rescue centre in Sichuan for the past 15 months. We certainly felt the earthquake but we are all thanking our lucky stars that all the staff and bears are safe and well. Some of the staffs' families haven't been so lucky

I am very saddened by what I see on the news. I have a special feeling for China and visited the Beijing and Shangai area this past fall. My heart and prayers go out to all of the victims.

Shocked. Dujiangyan is etched in the memory of my childhood. My family lived there from 95-97. Thankfully my old school and the teachers and students in it were not injured. Saddened that so many others were not as lucky.

The title of this article hit me hard.

Just so sad, been to those places almost 10 yrs ago while I was still in the university and living in London, beautiful but remote places. Just pray for all those departed and still suffering.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of China. Those of us who live here know of their great ability to come together in times of crisis, and the valiant effort that the PLA puts forth when called upon. They will overcome this event, and will continue to build their country.

the key is that China has the best army - the people's army, which is always available for disaster relief. te second thing is that China has one of the best, if not the best, administration system which could mobilise huge resources and manpower for the relief.

LX, Beijing, China

I can't choke back my tears on seeing the textbooks,shoes and schoolbags spread about on the rubbles of the collapsed school building.
May the dead rest in peace.
I hope our brave PLA and rescue team can save more life and I do believe!
God bless them!
