The reporters are trying to portray Wang Peng in a standard Chinese way. The grandmother bit is typical Chinese thinking.Xujunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534267282303815433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13974296645733775.post-85927240759470303402008-05-30T02:25:00.000-04:002008-05-30T02:25:00.000-04:00Another story about heroism, but just as the polic...Another <A HREF="http://justrecently.wordpress.com/2008/05/30/volunteer_injured_in_relief_work/" REL="nofollow">story about heroism</A>, but just as the police woman story, it isn't as black-and-white as the old Lei-Feng stories used to be.

Instead of working hard to deny or hide the extent of the tragedies, the government and the press are being unusually open. I hope the leaders and the people see how much more unity, sympathy and assistance that openness can bring, not just from the Chinese people but from people and nations worldwide. I believe the Chinese response to this catastrophe has boosted China's image to the world during a difficult year.Linda Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440198392313322295noreply@blogger.com
