A minute of silence for them.

I was attempting to check if the latest episode of my show has been uploaded when I realised that all China entertainment sites have ceased operation for the day, to mourn for the victims of the severe Zhou Qu mudslide. I feel ashamed of myself for not knowing till my sister mentioned just now. I checked out the statistics and they made my jaws drop. I recalled 邓姐's hometown is around that area and I quickly reached for my phone and dropped her a text to ask if everything is fine. I hope it is. While contending with my environment that's free from such geological hazards, I wish there is something I can do for the people there. There must still be a crowd of crying, panicking people searching for their loved ones despite the continuous torrential debris flows. This reminds me of an essay my brother wrote in p6. Any victim could be a stranger to us, but he could have been the only son of an old couple, the father of a small child, the supportive husband of a now-widowed woman, or the sole breadwinner of a family.
