In 17 days, from March 8th to March 25th. The Malaysian prime minister finally annouced that Airline MH370 sank in the south Indian Ocean. After this speech declared, it caused a huge discussion between people. We must know this is a horrible accident in human history. But, without anything evidences, they can't just make decision of using data to say the plane is sank. In those 17 days, family and friends were all waiting for a good news which is the plane landed in somewhere secretly, but the reality was not that good.

The plane's disappearance made people to guess what really happened on the plane. Is it a weather problem, or terror attack? No one has any ideas.

Malaysian authorities have said that evidence so far suggests the plane was deliberately turned back to Malaysia. The communication system was disabled.  

At the first day of the plane missing. I remembered that was on 8th. I was watching news on my Ipad while I was taking a bath. When I first saw this news, I was totally shocked. I didn't even know that a plane can be missing. I only know is it destroy or not. Being a Chinese citizen, I pray for those who has died in the plane sincerely. I don't know why the government still not doing anything. Still not putting pressures on Malaysia.

Climate change may put UNESCO World Heritage Sites underwater

Tourists visiting the Statue of Liberty, Pompeii or Canada's Old Town Lunenburg in coming centuries may need to bring a snorkel, thanks to climate change, a new study suggests.

If average global temperatures rise just three degrees above pre-industrial temperatures, melting glaciers and ice sheets will push up the sea level enough to inundate 136 site considered by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to be cultural and historical treasures, sometime within the next 2,000 years, reports a new study published this week in Environmental Research Letters.

The researchers said they didn't try to pinpoint the exact timing of rising sea levels. And while 2,000 years sounds like a big window, some of UNESCO's 700 World Heritage sites are older than that, they point out.

The weather might affect our land. There are many heritage sites destroyed. Some of them are naturally destroyed and others are destroyed by humans. There are many wars going on all over the world. We hope to have a peaceful world not only because to stop killing each other but also to heal the world. Our mission is to make the world a better place.

Kunming train station attack leaves dozens dead

A " Violent Terror Attack" occurred on Sunday in Kunming train station. 10 terrorists stabs people in the train station. They stab 33 people dead and 143 wounded.  

Media blamed the killings at Kunming in Yunnan province, south-west China. on militants from Xinjinag in the countru's restive north-west.  "Evidence at the crime scene showed that the Kunming railway station terrorist attack was carried out by Xinjiang separatist forces. Xinjinag separatist forces planned many attacks in different provinces in China. All they want is trying to separate China to different parts. China won't let this thing happen. The attackers' identities have not been confirmed, but evidence at the scene showed that it was "a terrorist attack carried out by Xinjiang separatist forces," Xinhua said. The far western region of Xinjiang is home to a simmering rebellion against Chinese rule by some members of the Muslim Uighur population, and the government has responded there with heavy-handed security. Those terrorists who killed civilians in the train were worse than animal. They lost their humanity. 

 

As a citizen of China, I am concerned about the “Violent Terror Attack” in China. As a citizen of China, I am really appreciated the comfortable life and good incomes that you brought in. Most people are satisfied of the life they have, but I am more concerned about my safety in my country. On March 2nd, 2014, Uighur separatists killed 29 people and wounded 143 at a train station in southern China. Uighur separatists planned many “violent attacks” in 2013, but our government were not paying more attention to those attacks. As a citizen, I hope government can value the attack as an important event and find solutions to solve this issue. I wish that we could have a peaceful life in the future. No more “violent attacks” on civilians.
