Huang Lei, a 22-year-old girl in the Sanyuanda Telecom Co.Ltd, just finished her turn.

"I once fell in a faint because of blood donation, and this time my wish to help the disaster stricken people has helped me complete the process," said Huang.

Together with Huang were her seven colleagues, who said that they knew people in the quake stricken region were in great need of blood.

"It was the best way to express our concern," said Huang.

Yang Zhensheng, who was born 32 years ago in a relief tent during the Tangshan earthquake, gave out 10,000 yuan -- his annual salary to the people in Sichuan.

"As a survivor of an earthquake, I must do something," said Yang.

Zhao Jianping, who came back to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan from a business trip in Germany, said: "Chinese people on the mainland, as well as those overseas, have united together before this huge disaster."

Statistics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs showed that only 24 hours after the earth quake, it had received money and goods worth 221 million yuan.

"The moment the disaster happened, we all became the people of Wenchang." The sentence was repeated on Chinese Website and newspapers.
