Pauline Part, BATH, ENGLAND

It's unimaginable that a tragedy of such enormity should befall China , just when it's all geared up for the Olympics. My heart goes out to all those who suffered terribly and those who lost their near and dear ones.

Latest news said the hospitals were mainly full due to more people being saved from the rubble. This is good news. Hope there will be more survivors. Yes all Chinese people are involved from soldiers, medics, nurses, firemen, doctors, pilots, you name it, they are all there helping out. Bravo.

Lim, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Realistically man cannot win against nature, whatever the level of technology. I hope all the dams in China will hold out against nature disruptions such as the latest earth quake.
I also hope the Chinese people will recover from this disaster and rebuild their lives. Rise up, d world is with u

It did happen in London (7/7) and also New York (9/11) but these were man-made albeit by evil men.

I think God already held them in his hand, before crushing them.

If there is a God, he is very cruel, and very sick.

holly, zhejiang, China

I am from the UK working in Wuhan. I felt the earthquake strike at 2.30 pm on Monday afternoon. My heart goes out to all who have lost loved ones as a result of this disaster. Premier Wen Jiabao has impressed everyone with his determination, humility and care for his people. A leader to be proud of.

Michael, Wuhan, P R China

Rei, Nanchang, Nanchang

The suffering in China is great but the government has started a big relief effort.

aftershock, it is just terrible.
Yesterday I try to donate blood, but the hospital let us go home, as blood donated are enough and no place to keep anymore.
hope all the best, we can donate anything to help them.

Ya, Shanghai, China

Man is really powerless in front of Nature!!! But we see that Chinese government is trying its best to save its people and All Chinese are united together to overcome this great challenge. The quake rocks so many lives, but ca'n't rock away our hopes!

Weiwei, Shenzhen, China

As I read through d comments here, tears flow willingly. I am sad over d suffering yet I feel relieved & proud to see d brave Chinese people pulling together, struggling and fighting to rescue d trapped. Many standing willing not only to help but donate blood and money. This act of unity and love

Lim, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

I would like to point out what a great job the Chinese government is doing in the rescue effort. Because of difficult terrain (foothills of the Himalayas) and road damage troops had to hike in. Even though it is a horrible disaster it would have been much worse without the effective, fast response.

Will, Ouhai, Zhejiang, China

terrible tragedy it is!

chrisyen, Jiulonghu, Zhenhai

As a Chinese, I thank everyone here for your prayer.

My heart goes with those affected by the disaster, I wish all survivors a speedy recovery, and the deceased would find peace in heaven.

We pray that the remaining missing survivors will be found soon. We thank the rescuers for their hard work and please know that we are praying for all of the victirms and those in the field.

Just 6 weeks ago I travelled to Wolong to see the pandas. I have many photos of the stunning journey up into the mountains and such memories of the wonderful people I met. I feel spiritually connected to this beautiful country. I am devasated by the terrible news.

My family was traveling through Sichuan and is currently stuck at a place called Jiu Zai Gou. All roads going out are blocked, flights cancelled. Its one of those places with wooden houses not higher than 2 storeys.

For those whose family is around here, dont worry everything is fine.

Rohit, Beijing, China

Seeing the TV pictures of the horrendous catastrophe in China it makes me realise how many people are suffering mental torment. Having seen the sadness I find it difficult to forget and hope that the Chinese people can find spiritual strength having lost many of their children. People,be strong.

I landed in Chengdu on 19/04 on a personnal trip to go to Yunnan. I have been back to Paris since and warm thoughts go to the Chinese people since.

I'm not trying to make a political point here, but just imagine what the headlines would be if, geological issues aside, this happened in London, or New York.
But I can't pretend that the deaths have really affected me emotionally because it seems so abstract and removed. And that itself is sad.

Conners, London, UK

i strongly believed that all the chinese will fight for the disaster together under our government's leading,and nothing can defeat us!

mandelstam.lee, wuhan, china

Looking at the pictures at the sideline in the safe city of Guangzhou China, makes a weird scene of all desasters surrounding. - Birma - now China. Broken families, tragedies for life. Not a single accident but a devastating collaps of normal day to day life, which has brutaly been interupted.

bob jarret, guangzhou, china

We all appreciated our troops so much. They are saving people's lives at the risk of their own. And our Wen Jiabao, the 66-year-old premier . He is great. Don't cry ,people in Sichuan, God bless China and all the victims.

hm_cai, jiangsu , China

Many will be traumatized for life. I hope the Chinese govt will provide grief counseling along w/material assistance to help the victims walk through this fire and come out on the other side - changed forever but as whole as possible under the circumstances. God be with you.

Tiffany, St. Louis, USA

May God hold you in the palm of his hand during this terrible tragedy.
