    I think China has a saying which can be translated something like this:Fortune does not come twice but misfortune often does not visit just once.25/1:snow storm,14/3:raiway accident,12/5:earth quake...all major disasters.This earth quake is particularly terrible,it is occuring right in the region of so many dams,so much water.That is one of the reason why many people oppose the construction of the Three Gorges dam before.Chinese people always believe that " 8 " is lucky number, the more 8 the better.But 2+5+1=8,1+4+3=8,1+2+5=8...what is going on here?from12/5 to 8/8 is another 88 days...it looks like this 2008 is really bad year for China so far.I can only pray that this is it,no more please.
