China is remembering the victims of the may 12, 2008 earthquake in the southwestern Sichuan province. Ceremonies took place across a number of locations in China on Tuesday. A town is near the earthquake place. At least 80.000 people were reported killed or loosing after the earthquake. Chinese President Hu Jintao said the disaster brought the country togather and China's response to the earthquake included the fastest save. China has made May 12 "Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day." He said "The great task of earthquake rescue and recovery reminds us again that unity is strength, that victory can only be gained through struggle." Because of the earthquake, many children are dead that is reason why so many schools sank to the ground while buildings around them.
The sculpture of a destroyed clock plate is the ceremony to mark the first anniversity of the devastating Wenchuan earthquake in Yingxin Townshop of Wenchuan County. The big sculpture stands for a certain day that is a May 12, 2008. Chinese can remind at the time when they see the clock sculpture.

Large numbers of tourists have held private memorial services in the day before the anniversary of their loved theirs deaths, in keeping with local tradition.
I can see another picture which is an cry women. She missing a her son who was crushed to death. After one year she still wants to meet in her dream. On this day she remains her son's shape and don't forget a last behind figure. He goes to the shool with smile. She said that he likes to go to the school very much, but she didn't know completely that he will die in his favorited school! When I listen to her crying sound I felt sad at this talk. I pray that It will not happen again in the world!
