The Impressive Thing in 2008

The Impressive Thing in 2008
It is obvious to Chinese people that the
year of 2008 has been unforgettable. Heart-
rending ice disaster, earthquake, Peking the
Olympics, absolute being of excited public seven
fly a day, all make the person hard to forget.
We had seen many tears and sad-ness in that
year. Nevertheless, the hardships have taught us
to grow.
In my opinion, nothing can be deeper than
personal feeling. People suffered many hard-
ship during that long winter. In my hometown,
Chen-Zhou, due to several days of snowing
that all the city was covered with snow thickly.
With the heavy snow damages were coming. It
is the heaviest snow disaster for almost 50
years according to the experts. It made a big
differen-ce to various industries, especially the
forestry. Millions of trees were broken off
because of the heavy load from the snow. I the
mean-
while, agriculture and industry had a great loss
in it. It caused damage to property estimated
at $1.73 billion.

On the other hand, it also stimulated the
people to love and to help each other. As we all
know, amount of relief materials were delivered
to the striken areas in time. People tried their
best to warm the people of the afflicted areas,
not only by the donations but also buy the
unselfish love. All people showed solicitude for
the unfortunate people.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. I think, the
truest greatness lies in being kind. As long as
there’s love, we will be able to over-come all
the evil that is in the world. And we do it.
There is another reason why that I can not
forget the snow. The snow hampered my
movement. It made the buses, trains and planes
had to stop. Millions of people couldn't go
home. And many power facilities were
destroyed, so the city was be in no electricity
blackouts. For the first time, I deeply know the
original life without light. I was used to
watching the Spring Festival party every year.
But in that condition, it became a wild hope
to watch TV. However, it gave me another
precious memory at that night. I and my
families finished our New Year's Eve family
dinner as early as possible. Then we got
together, sat quiet, and had a In-depth
conversation. Since I had learned more about
my parents. It is so difficult to be a mother
or a father, they must take so much pressure
to bring up us. And I was so grateful to be
their daughter. In some degree, I would thank
for the snow.
In n word, nothing would beat us if we
are staunchly enough and always holding a
charitable heart. We should not complain the
disaster simply. The most important thing is
learning and growing from it. There is a old
saying goes, “If winter comes, can spring be
far behind?”
