Big Change, Big Move, Big Love

It's the 7th day after the massive earthquake had struck China which had not occured for nearly 3 decades. The media has been covering an extensively detailed information around the clock- live for 24 hours. It's not because I has stayed for the updated news for the whole day for saying that(24 hours), it's just that my home television has not switched to other channels except for the Phoenix and China official state-run media-CCTV. Thanks to my conservative, dull dad.


Though, out of the blue, I benefited from it. I saw how China government has make a tremendous change of their policy by providing a large extend of openness and transparency which is not precedented before. From this, I see how passionate and loving the beings are, how they value live, and the noble loving of the Chinese towards their citizens. Despite being down-hearted by the scene, I'm truly moved. For that moment, curiosity fraught into me of why the western media coverage doesn't show much of those touching scenes and failed to gain more of my sympathy. I doubt. The next move- I logged into the website of both accredited broadcasting media, CNN and BBC.


First thing I was furious about what had been written in BBC was a reporting stated that: "Everybody just ran - rescuers, army relief teams, medical workers and locals - and people who were in the process of being rescued had to be left behind," he said. This sound so much of negative connotation, with stark derogation. What the hell was he thinking he was talking about. People in the process were abandoned??? I wonder if it's a mere language gap of those westerners are just unduly superficial at looking at an issue. According to Phoenix (a globalise chinese media), the authority ordered the dispatched military rescue teams to move out from the afflicted zone TEMPORARILY in concern with their own safety, and yet, tens of the hundreds members were reluctant to leave but end-up hauled out by others from the affected zone. One of the members regretted, saying woefully that if he had only given a chance to save just ONLY ONE more!!! Is that considered selfish by leaving others behind just for their own safety? Are they?Throughout the whole process, we can see how energised and optimistic the rescue teams are. Even the golden key time to survive had pass earlier, they still chanting to save one live even if there's only a survivor left. They are not calculative on how much energy they had expend, or how much pay they will receive for their work. It's a mere believe in the value of live.


Nonetheless, I still see much complimentary on the reaction of the Chinese government after the national disaster, especially from CNN. That's what I call a media professionalism. Reporting with justice, spreading news righteously. I savour on one of the statement made: The message is compelling: This disaster is terrible but the government is doing everything it can, from China premiere, Wen JiaBao.


Indeed, the change made mainly from its hindsight has gained much more respect from the international community and a formidable position for its rival on China. Bravo for China.

Right: The most phenomenal leader ever!!!!
