Tangshan’s new look
An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust.
Earthquakes may result in disease, lack of basic necessities, loss of life, general property damage, road and bridge damage and sometimes landslides, fires, flood and even tsunamis.
Every day, every hour, every moment, every minute is precious.
We must love our lives.
Learn to enjoy life.
Life is beautiful.
