传说中鼠年不好过，以为只是传说而已，不想还在年底就被雪在破门而入，接下来是人祸，接下来又一场天灾...

自然灾害，似乎是自然界偶尔要经历的一些活动，如此汪洋取代山川，山川陡然于平地之上，如此自然繁衍生息新陈代谢。可惜这些自然界的喘息，于人类与其他生物来讲，却有灭顶之危。在巨大的灾害面前，生命似乎成了一种偶然，所有的生命都包括如此。这种灾难比战争让人愤懑，因为骤然失去亲人的伤痛无处发泄无处寄托，不同于有敌人的存在，所有苦闷有释放的地方，虽然以仇恨的形势，起码有处可存。而灾难面前，所有悲痛都只能窒闷在心，疏通不当，恐怕迁怒于其他，于是产生了无端的气愤与仇恨。

越是所谓文明之处，越是灾难摧毁力最大的地方。人们盖房为了抵御自然的恶劣环境，却最终掩埋在自己的房檐下。偶然中似乎也存在着必然，这个必然一部分在于技术的限制，还有一部分，也许是相当一部分，在于人心，急躁，趋利，敷衍，懒惰...在无边的废墟中，有巍然不动的好几所希望小学，这意味着人们的技术可以经受地震的考验，而失败了，不禁要问，楼本来可以如此结实，是谁抽掉了钢筋，掺杂了水泥？那么最终，是什么压死了人，困住了人？

希望小学据说是汉龙集团捐助希望工程修盖。希望工程的款项一般都是先拨给政府，由政府组织利用，可是传说政府迟迟不动，汉龙的老板偏偏比较较真，死盯不放，后来发现工程启动后材料杂质根本超标，于是重新返工，紧密监督。于是有了在巨大灾难中安然无恙的孩子们。 救了他们的又是什么？

如此说来，筹集到的捐款数字无论多庞大，最终落到实处的数字又有多少，而落到实处真正为百姓造福而不是早灾的又有多少？谁来保护捐助者的热情与权利？

传说中，领导上任都喜欢大兴土木，盖楼。上来一任盖一任。某外语学校，又兴起19层大楼，招到好学生都成问题，却仍然坚定的盖楼。原来如此。

都江堰水利工程几千年造福子孙，经受了各种灾害的考验，这又证明了人类的文明技术，有抵御自然灾害的能力。而N多水坝的纷纷倒塌，又不禁要问，这是文明的进步还是退步呢？如果我们曾经掌握这种技术，为什么现在丢了呢？进而，近代的中国，为什么会骤然落后？中国缺少的，失去的，得到的到底都是什么？

Anyway, 好好学习，天天向上，不多想了。

but, do bless...

What do you want from us?

When we were called “sick man of Asia”, we were called peril.
When we billed to be the next superpower, we’re called the threat

When we closed our doors, you smuggled drugs to open markets.
when we embrace free trade, you blame us for taking away your jobs.

when we’re falling apart, you marched in your troops and wanted your fair share.
when we’re putting the broken pieces together, “Free Tibet” you screamed! “it was invasion.”

So we tried communism, you hated us for being communist.
So we embraced capitalism, you hate us for being capitalist,

Then we have a billion people, you said we’re destroying the planet.
Then we limit our numbers, you said it was human rights abuses.

When we were poor, you think we’re dogs,
When we loan you cash, you blamed us for your debts.

When we build our industries, you called us polluters.
When we sell you goods, you blamed us for global warming,
When we buy oil, you called that exploitation and genocide.

When we were lost in chaos and rampage, you wanted rule s of laws for us.
When we uphold law and order against violence, you called that violation of human rights.

When we were silent, you said you want us to have free speech.
When we were silent no more, you say we were brainwashed.

Why do you hate us so much? We asked. “No”. You answered, “we don’t hate you”.
We don’t hate you either Bud, do you understand us?? “of course we do”, you said, “We have CNN, BBC, and CBC”.

But why, we still feel, your western people are not happy with us.

What do you really want from us??

My friend, What do you really want from us??
