Sichuan earthquake
So far there have been more than 100,000 injured, dead, and missing. People in Sichuan are living in constant fear of 23 endangered dams, thousands of aftershocks, and the potential plague outbreak.
Resources and money are pouring in from all over the world, but guess what?
They are too slow and too inefficient in terms of distributing.
People are crying next to roads out of starvation and desperation.
Today is suppose to be the day I set my foot on Sichuan to help the victims and refugees in the Sichuan earthquake.
It will not be my first time joining the medical team to help those in need.
I had to consider and prepare for both physical and mental danger being in such a horrific place, not to mention to persuade my parents in letting me go.
Many relatives and friends of mine think it's a bad idea.
I'm not trying to be a hero. I go because I know I can and I want to.
Unfortunately, the trip was canceled a day before for political reasons.
Reasons that I can not understand and will not accept.
I want to go and help, but now I can only pray.

After I saw your diary, I saw your sad and sorrow to those people who need your help, of course not only yours. I won't say that I wanna go with you, coz I'm not even allowed to. But I will smile at you and give you a big hug before you leave when you have another chance to go somewhere to help people.
I'm curious that how did you persuade your parents? It must be very difficut to success. But you did, didn't you? You know, I'm not surprised that you told me you wanted to go to Sichuan. Because this is just like what you would do.
Please.....don't feel so sad. There have already many people there. And they are doing what you wanna to do. Keep in touch with me. When I go to Taipei, I'll let you know. So...goodnight.
