A THREE-DAY period of national mourning for the tens of thousands of quake victims, the first of its kind in China for ordinary people, is officially ending, but people are still caught up in feelings of grief.
On MSN, many netizens added a rainbow before their signatures, to symbolize the end of a storm, just as a rainbow does.
Cars displayed yellow ribbons to signify sorrow and prayers for the safe return of relatives.
National flags fluttered, for a final day, at half staff. The relay of the Olympic torch remained suspended.
Website logos and newspaper mastheads were black, the color of May 12, when a deadly quake in southwest China changed the fate of millions.

Tears of China
When, at 2:28 p.m. on Monday, the world’s most populous nation suddenly paused, I believed I saw the tears of China.
Tears flowed for mothers desperately shouting their children’s names, many never to be answered.
Tears fell for children waiting for their parents, without knowing if their wait would ever end on Earth.
Tears were shed for those buried in an instant, for the injured and the bereaved, for the ruins, and the once-vibrant land tainted with blood.
But there has been more than tears.
As of Wednesday at noon, donations for the disaster area had reached 16 billion yuan (2.29 billion U.S. dollars) and 1.764 billion yuan had been forwarded to the earthquake-affected areas.
Blood stocks in Sichuan Province, the worst-hit region, more than met demand within four days after the disaster.
Soldiers, armed police, medical staff and volunteers from around the nation are still on the scene in the mountainous province. Some are caring for survivors, others are digging -- sometimes with nothing more than their hands -- driven by the slim hope of still finding someone alive.
Overseas Chinese who could not return lit candles in London, Paris, Berlin and other cities, or wrote poems to mourn for their compatriots.

Love was felt
The Associated Press wrote: “The national pause ... underscored the profound impact that the worst natural disaster in a generation has had on the country’s 1.3 billion people.”
Top leaders from France, the United States, Japan, Great Britain and other countries went to Chinese embassies to offer their condolences during the three mourning days.
Now that the formal national mourning is about to end, love shouldn’t.

Never forget
Let us remember the teacher at the Yingxiu township primary school, who died in the posture of an eagle, arms encircling two students.
Let us remember the mother in Beichuan, who covered her baby with her body as the debris from the quake rained down, leaving a last, silent message with her gesture: Dear baby, if you are alive, do remember that I love you.
Let us remember the grandfather clutching his wife tightly under the wreckage, only to find her dead when she was rescued.
Let us remember the soldier who knelt down after receiving orders to leave, bursting into tears and begging, “Please, let me save another child. I can save one more!”
Let us remember the gray-haired beggar in a patched blue coat, who went to the donation box twice, first with 5 yuan, then 100.
With our memories, may we pass on our love, to those in need in the future, be they farmers or officials, elderly or young.                                          (By Xinhua Writer Bai Xu )

----I understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE YOU!" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time".

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said I love you but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
“What’s wrong, are you well,” she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
“I thought that it would be pleasure with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.”
She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much.”
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.
She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel’s.
“I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, “she said, as she got into the car. “They can’t wait to hear about our meeting”.
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips.
“It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said.
“Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary, but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.
“How was your dinner date?” asked my wife when I got home. “Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined,” I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I did not do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined.
An attached note said: “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: “I LOVE YOU!” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till “some other time.”

by Dr. Fred Gross

A high school science teacher wanted to demonstrate a concept to his students. He takes a large-mouth jar and places several large rocks in it. He then asks the class, “Is it full?
“Unanimously, the class reply, “Yes!”
The teacher then takes a bucket of gravel and pours it into the jar. The small rocks settle into the spaces between the big rocks.
He then asks the class, “Is it full?”
This time there are some students holding back, but most reply, “Yes!”
The teacher then produces a large can of sand and proceeds to pour it into the jar. The sand fills up the spaces between the gravel.
For the third time, the teacher asks, “Is it full?
“Now most of the students are wary of answering, but again, many reply, “Yes!”
Then the teacher brings out a pitcher of water and pours it into the jar. The water saturates the sand. At this point the teacher asks the class, “What is the point of this demonstration?”
One bright young student raises his hand and then responds, “No matter how full one’s schedule is in life, he can always squeeze in more things!”
“No,” replies the teacher, “The point is that unless you first place the big rocks into the jar, you are never going to get them in. The big rocks are the important things in your life... your family, your friends, your personal growth. If you fill your life with small things, as demonstrated by the gravel, the sand, and the water... you will never have the time for the important things.
What are the ‘big rocks’ in your life - time with your loved ones, your faith, your education, your dreams, a worthy cause, teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you’ll never get them in at all.” So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are reflecting on this short story, ask yourself this question: What are the ‘big rocks’ in my life? Then, put those in your jar first.
I hope that this makes everyone see that if we look around us, we all probably have somebody in our life right now that we have not given the quality time they need... or something that we have wanted to do that because of work we have not taken the time to experience.
Make the time so that you never have to say “ I wish I had the chance to show my emotions or spend time with that person... or I wish I was younger again to do that, or I wish I would have taken the time to do... Do It Now!!!
