在地震一周年前夜, 我给我的朋友们去了一封英文信,呼吁大家继续给灾区深山里面的孩子给予关爱:最好的纪念是行动。
Dear all,
Today China Daily has generously left its front-page space for OUR HONGBAI story and CCTV has kindly picked it up. The links follow:

For the recognition, I would like to thank Mr. James Jao and Madame Jao, Mr. Zhang Kailian, Mr. Peng Xiancheng for their all-heart support financially or in any other forms. And I am in deep debt to all the volunteers for your time, knowledge and love left with kids and teachers in the scarred mountains in Sichuan.
After more than ten-day enlightening trip in quake zone, I was quite impressed by fast and sound progress of building schools, hospitals, factories and residential places. Meanwhile, I was astonished that how little professional psychological counseling those traumatized minds, especially those hidden in sky-high mountains, have already obtained.
Our volunteers, I think, have already offered “cultural recipe” for those kids who were frightened by falling stones, collapses, corpses and heart-torn cries. This, in some sense, is healing the kids need. However, the problem is that we could not stay long with them. And we could not help those all traumatized hearts.
To address these problems, and on the occasion of one year anniversary of May 12 quake, I am still appealing:
Kids need your help and love.
Kids need your long-haul help and love.
And those kids in the mountains urgently need your long-haul help and love.
Tomorrow is a day of sorrow. And let us pray for those dead and let us help those survivors.
