Today here in China we mark a solemn anniversary. It was one year ago today that a massive 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck Wenchuan County in Sichuan, northwest of the capital of Chengdu.

Over 87,000 people were killed in a matter of minutes. And while the government response to the earthquake was immediate and Chinese people here and abroad gave generously to help the victims, today is also being used as a day to assess just how well prepared China is should another disaster like this hit.

Thanks for love from different people and different countries. But life must continue, let´s pray for their bright future...
