Thank God! Li was found! She is quiet sick and has a few broken bones but she's recovering! My mom was really happy today when she rang and we both burst out crying on the phone because we were so happy. My mom sent me a pic of Li being found,My mom was the one who found her:She was under a pile of rocks that used to be a school. Here she is:
I'm so happy for you! You must feel truly blessed! _________________ Breathing is optional. Look, Bella, look.

I'm so happy for you Hai. I cried when I read your article, I'm so grateful your cousin was spared. That's one life of many this quake didn't take.. but there's a long way to go for other survivors. _________________ My Dragon Scroll
Aw, I am soo happy for you Hai! I was watching Chinese news at a neighbor's hosue earlier this evening and they are having like 24 hour coverage on the entire matter. _________________
Oh my word.. the death toll was bumped up from 19,000 to 34,000. God help the Chinese. x_x I kinda wish I could have done the "Three Minutes of Silence" for the lost, but when it was 2:28 pm for them, I think I was asleep.
You read through the articles, and realize that a lot of Chinese parents lost their only child because of the law. Not only do you lose a child.. but it's your only child. >_< I can just hear the crying. _________________ My Dragon Scroll
According to this article...
"The confirmed death toll from the quake rose to 34,073 and the council - China's cabinet - said 220,109 people were injured. Officials said the final death toll was expected to top 50,000."
Save the Pandas!

Chinese earthquake: Giant pandas rescued By Richard Alleyne
Last Updated: 4:17PM BST 19/05/2008
Hundreds of giant pandas had to be rescued as the Chinese Earthquake devastated their breeding grounds, it has emerged.
Shaking with fear and desperately clinging to trees for support, many had to be coaxed down to the ground as the quake uprooted forests and sent boulders as "big as Volkswagens" crashing down from nearby mountains.
The quake reportedly killed five staff members and destroyed or severely damaged all 32 of the reserve's panda houses.
And despite the massive operation some of the 1,600 pandas living in the wild in the Sichuan district remain missing, three of them on the world famous Wolong reserve which was just 20 miles from the epicentre of the quake.
A Chinese official said that the first batch of bamboo, apples, and veterinary medicine for the pandas has arrived at the reserve as well as food and the tents urgently needed by the staff.
Lu Zhi, one of China's leading panda experts, said researchers at the Sichuan reserves were combing the mountains in search of pandas while also trying to alleviate the greater human tragedy by delivering supplies to the remotest villages. At Wolong, she said, a senior security administrator died while taking part in rescue efforts.
Walter Weber, an American tourist visiting the region when the earthquake struck, said the steep mountains looming over the breeding centre were collapsing in landslides.
"These rocks were just flying in the air," he said. "A few of the rocks were the size of Volkswagens."
British tourists on a panda-watching trip at the Wolong Nature Reserve, in Wenchuan county, when the earthquake struck have themselves been thanking the Chinese people.
Judy Ling Wong, 59, from Llanberis, north Wales, told the China Daily in Beijing: "We were in the middle of the panda centre, surrounded by sheer cliffs. Rocks fell all around. But here I am, completely fine - and that is only half the miracle. The other half is the Chinese people and the way they took care of us."
Why are you rejoicing when families in Sichuan are after losing their loved ones???
I have no idea why ravvy wrote that. Honestly it's in very bad taste considering how many people have and ARE CURRENTLY dying. _________________ My Dragon Scroll

No..My mom was with Li and her family. My cousin Li was trapped in the Earthquake and my mom went out to help find her. She used to live here but her family moved back to Sichuan. _________________ My sig was not allowed D:
