系列報道(7)﹕地震的深遠影響
【星星生活-星网讯】
地震的深遠影響(newstarnet.com)
(加拿大中國地震災區採訪隊記者胡憲6月18日圖文報道)四川汶川地震給災區人民帶來了永生的深遠影響﹐這一點可以從震後新生兒的名字上反映出來。(newstarnet.com)
我們在結束了對九州體育館的採訪之後﹐來到綿陽市人民醫院婦產科中心。據大夫介紹﹐震後新生兒每天都有﹐現在就有五個。我們採訪了其中兩個。一個來到世上還不到14個小時的男嬰﹐被他經營建材批發生意的父親柴亮起名為柴震陽。新媽媽叫王定春﹐今年才21歲﹐她回答記者提問時說﹐給孩子起這個名字的意思就是地震後的太陽一定會帶來更好的生活。隔壁病房的新生兒叫黃念念﹐已經四天大了﹐也是男孩子。這個新媽媽是從一懷孕就停止了工作﹐只等孩子報到的。她怎麼也沒想到﹐靜養了八個月之後竟會倉皇驚恐地從七層樓跑下來。她堅持說孩子是受了地震驚嚇而早產的。她說孩子聽見任何聲音都會煩躁不安。像今天這樣聽我說話而不哭還是四天來的第一次。她希望兒子永遠不要忘記這次大地震﹐因此起名叫念念。(newstarnet.com)
“紀念的念”﹐她強調說。(newstarnet.com)

九州體育館﹐朗朗讀書聲(newstarnet.com)
(加拿大中國地震災區採訪隊記者胡憲6月18日圖文報道)採訪隊今日（6月18日）的目標地是著名的核科研城市──綿陽。綿陽市有四個重災區﹕北川､江油､安縣和平武。在綿陽市宣傳部進行登記之後﹐我們到九州體育館採訪。這裡是汶川地震發生後最早的災民庇護所﹐是溫家寶總理和孩子們共灑淚水的地方﹔最多時曾容納5萬人﹐後來逐步疏散﹐目前還有2000多名災民和工作人員。(newstarnet.com)

採訪隊的重點是帳篷學校。這所學校的主體大篷都是由港澳同胞捐助的。進了“校門”﹐左邊帳篷的學生們在編排節目﹐右邊帳篷的孩子們在看電影。往裡走是一排排小號的帳篷教室﹐小學二年級課堂正在教英語﹐初中一年級課堂在講酸雨的成因﹐還有一班學生正在集體朗誦李白詩歌。(newstarnet.com)

兩個女孩子手拉手過來翻看我的採訪證。這名主動和我說話的孩子叫母華﹐上六年級﹐大水縣唐家山人。地震那天她在老師帶領下跑了出來﹐但是她再也沒有見到､也永遠見不到自己親愛的哥哥了。母華平靜的說著﹐沒哭﹐她的堅強令人心痛和感動。她現在和爺爺住在這裡﹐她說長大後要當醫生或者科學家﹐當醫生是想讓這次受傷的病人快快好起來﹔當科學家是想解決現在科學解決不了的地震問題。這次地震讓許多孩子迅速長大。(newstarnet.com)

對著學校的大門有一條橫幅﹐寫著“別怕﹐我們會一直跟你們在一起”。來自全中國各地的志願者們在上面簽下了數不清的名字。

DAY 6 Mian Yang City The Dead City. That is what locals call where we are headed today. Bechuan, where there was the single largest loss of life in last month's earthquake, and an estimated five to seven thousand people are still unaccounted for, presumed buried under massive land slides. On the way we go through Mian Yang city, past the stadium that at one point held about sixty thousand residents from Bechuan. About two thousand people are still here, including many elderly and children. They take shelter under a wide outdoor walkway, sleeping on a colourful array of quilts and blankets, startling few possessions tucked alongside. It is at this stadium where we find 14 year old Yi Su. His eyes are serious and he seems weary and old for his age. His story is one a child should never have to tell.(newstarnet.com)
Su was at school when the quake hit, and their teacher rushed them outside. "Once we were out, we looked back and our school building collapsed and we were so scared and it was so dusty," he recounts through an interpreter. He was immediately worried about his parents and ran the one kilometre home, "and then I met my father and grandma and other relatives and asked about my mom and they said my mom was gone." His mother had been buried. Su says he misses her terribly, and can still hear her voice, telling him to study hard; so here at a tent school, that's exactly what he does. Burying his grief in his books, a temporary reprieve from reality, a future to focus on.(newstarnet.com)
His classroom is a non descript blue tent, in a row with dozens of others. Like many of the thousands of tents lining the roads in this area, it was donated by a foreign aid group. Tents purchased by the Canadian red cross are still being trucked to the area. The woman in charge the Sichuan relief project for the Red Cross, is far from her Ontario home, but there is no place Yunhong Xhang would rather be than helping, and work here is far from over. "The need is still massive after an earthquake of such scope, in the village and the prefecture we have visited the past few days we did see the need for water for temporary shelter for hygiene and for non food items," says Xhang. At this point I realise Canadians have a lot to be proud of, having raised the second most money of any country (after the U.S.) for the Red Cross effort, it is easy to see the donations are making a tangible difference.(newstarnet.com)
The 2500 ents Canadian donations are providing will give shelter to people like Su and his father. People who have lost everything. In Su's tent classroom, yet another number gives pause. Out of his 17 classmates, three have lost immediate family members. For now, they can't even go to their home town, its off limits due to the risk of more landslides and disease: it truly is the Dead City. But among the living, there is a strength that is undeniable, a determination not to be beaten, as Su says "I miss my mother so much, but I have my grandma and my father and we will live together as a family, and create happiness." I leave him then, hoping against hope, that will come true.(newstarnet.com)

Eyes on Earth's wrath
Father of T.O. man has ringside seat at Sichuan quake and records an astonishing tale(newstarnet.com)
Wed, June 18, 2008(newstarnet.com)
By THANE BURNETT(newstarnet.com)
CHENGDU -- Trapped for 10 days in the Stone Age, chinese engineer Yi Kun Zhong used the only thing he had in his pocket to chronicle his struggle to survive. (newstarnet.com)
From the very centre of last month's earthquake in the heart of China, he wrote a remarkable diary on his cell phone. And one of the first things he did after he was airlifted back to a shattered but modern civilization, was to press "thin" and transmit it all to his worried son, waiting in Canada. (newstarnet.com)
The journal begins during the eight minutes the country will never forget. (newstarnet.com)
The Chinese government officially began registering the 7.9 magnitude quake at 14:28 on May 12; however, Zhong was standing so close to the quake's epicentre that he and the other men working at the Loiand Scui Gin power plant felt the mountain shake eight minutes before the rest of the country. (newstarnet.com)
At 66 years old, Zhong is a practical and meticulous man. He makes notes and calculations about most of the important things in his life. (newstarnet.com)
GROUND MOVED (newstarnet.com)
He was planning for a half day at work when he went to inspect a friend's equipment. He was almost about to leave when the ground beneath their feet began to move. Boulders -- some of them five or six tons -- broke off from the surrounding mountains and barreled down into the valley. (newstarnet.com)
At the very start, the 28 workers thought the quake would pass quickly. Instead, they had front-row seats to a historic shift in the earth. (newstarnet.com)
The planet was telling them it was pissed off. (newstarnet.com)
"There was a sound coming -- a very terrible sound," he recalls as we sit on the porch at his home in the city of Du Jiang Yan yesterday. (newstarnet.com)
"It was like a train's voice, from far coming near." (newstarnet.com)
The sky, growing dark, tried to compete with the chaos in the ground. (newstarnet.com)
Then the wave hit -- a wall of pressure, the senior engineer explained. (newstarnet.com)
Everyone sat on the ground, covering their heads from the wrath around them. From their terrified huddle, they watched two nearby mountains move and smash into one another. (newstarnet.com)
A family of peasants who lived in the 150 metres between had no chance at all. They were too slow. The moving mountains were too fast. (newstarnet.com)
"Although the sky is dark, we can see a light ... like fire," Zhong recalls. (newstarnet.com)
The pressure from the ground was causing the area to glow red -- as if it were going to open wide and swallow them them all. (newstarnet.com)
The mountains continued to shake off prehistoric dander, filling the ground with rolling rocks. Zhong was hit, along with many others, and injured his back and feet. (newstarnet.com)
The sky began to brighten, but it only gave them a clearer view of the struggle ahead. They were hiding under heavy equipment when the red dust began to hit the ground -- almost 23 cm thick and covering everything. Not knowing what record would be left, he took pictures of himself with his cellphone. (newstarnet.com)
By then the tremors were constant -- arriving by the thousands to pick at the bones of what the major quake had left behind -- and the men soon realized they were trapped. The merging mountains, a river and a blocked roadway had conspired to keep the witnesses where they were. (newstarnet.com)
The power plant was dead, and supplies -- other than a few bags of rice they shared with a local farmer -- were sparse. But worse, they had no idea what had happened to the outside world. (newstarnet.com)
Then that first night, the rains came. The workers took shelter in a farmer's pig barn, which stood while mountains fell. (newstarnet.com)
"That night it was so dark we could not see our five fingers in front of our face," he remembers. (newstarnet.com)
By then he had started his first-hand account on his phone, though no signal could get out to deliver the statement. (newstarnet.com)
They woke up on the second day to more tremors. But the men feared something even worse might be coming their way. Guarding the valley is China's highest water-dam -- a gateway for millions of litres of water. They worried the structure would break and wash them all away. So they looked for higher ground -- the healthier carrying the weak. (newstarnet.com)
In the days to follow, they survived on rice soup. But they weren't prepared to just wait for death to find them. They picked the four strongest men who, with a rope, a knife, some rice and two eggs each, were to climb out of the mountains to the outside world. (newstarnet.com)
"I worried for my family more than I worried about me," Zhong tells me. (newstarnet.com)
So he wrote a note to his wife and two grown children to say he was still alive and tucked it into the pocket of one of the brave four. Those men would later make it out alive -- but barely. (newstarnet.com)
On the third day a farmer had found a broken 20-year-old panda radio which Zhong and the men fixed. The only voice they could hear on it was the official transmission from the Chinese government telling them they were not alone and suffering. But while they heard of troops fanning out across Sichuan province, they knew it would be difficult to find them. (newstarnet.com)
The days rolled by as did the constant tremors. The men ate their daily allotment of 150-grams of rice. Zhong worked on his diary. And they watched the flies gather over dead bodies. (newstarnet.com)
It took a week for the first soldiers to find them -- special forces troops carrying rice over the mountains. A medic tended to the wounded, but they all still needed to get out of the mountains. Zhong asked that he be left behind but the young troops insisted on carrying him. In fact, they used a line from a much loved Chinese soap opera -- "never give up ... never drop off." (newstarnet.com)
4 HOURS TO MOVE 3 KM (newstarnet.com)
Amid the shifting debris, it took four hours to move a mere 3 km. (newstarnet.com)
By May 19, they had reached a community where they could organize a military helicopter out, but even that would take two more days. When it finally lifted off, Zhong -- still writing his diary of life at the centre of the earth -- was among the first to fly out. As soon a he was able, he pressed "send" and the amazing account appeared almost instantly in Ryan Zhong's email folder in Canada. (newstarnet.com)
Zhong's 32-year-old son, who lives in Toronto, was worried about his missing father but somehow knew he would survive to tell a remarkable tale. (newstarnet.com)
"I couldn't understand all he went through until I read his words," says Ryan. "Suddenly it was all very real to me."
