Earth hour - the March 28, 2009

When people get used to the night day, one-hour world-wide darkness presents millions of people's action to fight global warming.

This world-wide activity started from New Zealand. Then all time zone area became dark in their local time 8:30-9:30 pm. Though I did not feel anything in Riverside, whiling running around the campus, I am still glad that my hometown - Wuhan was in this activity. I can imagine the Yellow Grand Town became darkness and all the lights along the Yangtse River which I missed much, were turned off. This morning, reading BBS, I knew many students in WHU used their own way to memorize this special hour. I wished I would be one of them, holding candle and giving my best wishes to the earth.

Something happened yesterday, we named it an event. Today, it becomes words. In future, we call it memory. Only in memory, I will never forget it, just like some feeling, some missing, some hope, some wishes. Sometimes, we just need an hour to get away from modern civilization, such as computer, TV, to stay together to join an hour being together, to give each other the power to move, to feel, to love. While reading the news and pictures from yesterday, it feels so great, when millions of people doing the same thing for one purpose, which we can call miracle, because of that, we should keep the faith that we will be better tomorrow.

Thanks ZZ, helping me to rediscover the passion of my life and share the life experience.
