Millions of Chinese mourned the death

On May 19, 2:28 pm, millions of Chiense all over the country as well as overseas observed three minutes silence paying tribute to the victims in the recent earthquake in Sichuan, and began the three-day mourning. All public entertaining activities are suspended in the same time. The death toll of the disaster has risen above 30,000.

On Tianmen Square, after the three-minute silence, tens of thousands of people were unwilling to leave. Gathered on the square, they voluntarily burst into a long lasting chant of “China, Stronger, Sichuan, Stronger, Wenchuan Stronger”, showing the determination of all the Chinese to stay united and stand strong in the face of this devastating disaster.

Same was seen in Chengdu, Sichuan.
