[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]LUCHI, China 这个新闻有关国外媒体报道我们这次[size=4][color=red]抗震救灾的志愿者[/color][/size]...[color=dimgray]从另一个视角去看[/color][/size][/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2][color=dimgray][/color][/size][/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2] — Hao Lin had already lied to his wife about his destination, hopped a plane to Chengdu, borrowed a bike and [color=#99ccff]pedaled through [/color]the countryside in shorts and leather loafers by the time he reached this [color=#99ccff]ravaged[/color][color=#cc99ff](damaged/destroyed)[/color] farming village. A psychologist, Mr. Hao had come to offer free[color=#99ccff] counseling [/color]to [/size][url=http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/science/topics/earthquakes/sichuan_province_china/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier][color=#004276][size=2]earthquake[/size][/color][/url][size=2] survivors. [/size][/size][/font]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]He had company.[color=#99ccff] A busload of [/color]volunteers in matching red hats was [color=#99ccff]bumping along ([/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]在高低不平的路上陂行[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt])[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]the village’s [color=#99ccff]rutted[/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]（有车辙的）[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt] dirt road. Employees from a private company in Chengdu were cleaning up a town around the bend. Other volunteers from around China had already [color=#ff99cc]delivered[/color] food, water and[color=#ff99cc] sympathy.[/color][/size][/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]“I haven’t done this before,” said Mr. Hao, 36, as he
[color=#99ccff]straddled his [/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]（[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]straddle v. [/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]跨立，跨坐）[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]mountain bike[/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt]on Saturday evening. “Ordinary people now understand how to take action on their own.”[/size][/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]From the moment the earthquake struck on May 12, the Chinese government [color=#99ccff]dispatched soldiers[/color], police officers and rescue workers in the type of mass mobilization expected of the [color=red]ruling Communist Party[/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]（党中央）[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]. But an unexpected mobilization, prompted partly by unusually vigorous and dramatic coverage of the disaster in the state-run news media, has come from outside official channels. Thousands of Chinese have streamed into the [color=#99ccff]quake region[/color] or donated record sums of money in a striking and [color=#99ccff]unscripted [/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]（不计名的）[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]public response.[/size][/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]Beijing[color=#99ccff] is[/color] instinctively[color=#99ccff] wary of [/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]（小心翼翼的）[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]public activism and has long maintained tight restrictions on private charities and religious, social and environmental groups that operate outside government control. The[color=#99ccff] public outpouring is so overwhelming[/color] that analysts are debating whether it will
[color=#666699]create political aftershocks[/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]（余震）[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt] and place pressure on China’s authoritarian state to allow more space for civil society.[/size][/font][/size]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]When the quake struck, party officials initially assigned oversight of private relief efforts to the Communist Youth League, the political base of President [/size][url=http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/h/hu_jintao/index.html?inline=nyt-per][color=#004276][size=2]Hu Jintao[/size][/color][/url][size=2]. But many individuals, corporations and nongovernmental organizations, or NGOs, simply rushed into action to supplement what they say is an overburdened Chinese Red Cross or to help with the rescue, according to representatives of some private citizens’ groups.[/size][/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]Faced with the potential for a grave humanitarian crisis, officials loosened their [color=#99ccff]grip[/color][color=#cc99ff]/control[/color]. They have since begun warning volunteers to stay out of the earthquake zone, citing safety concerns. But thousands are already there.[/size][/size][/font]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]In Chengdu,[color=#99ccff] relief volunteers[/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]（救灾志愿者）[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt] have formed a command structure called the NGO Relief Action Group to coordinate 30 organizations. They have collected donations of instant noodles, biscuits, rice, medicine, clothes and bedding.[/size][/font][/size]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]“We realized that this is such an unprecedented crisis that we must join together to make some substantial contribution,” said Xing Mo, 39, a veteran organizer of nongovernmental organizations and president of the Yunnan Institute of Development, a school that trains volunteers.[/size][/size][/font]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]Most volunteers say they approve of the way the government has handled rescue and relief efforts so far. Some experts believe that party leaders could[color=#99ccff] channel[/color][color=#cc99ff]/direct/arouse[/color][color=#99ccff] that enthusiasm ([/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]引导民众的热情[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]) [/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]to [color=#99ccff]bolster[/color][color=#cc99ff]/strenghen/consolidate[/color] their authority, just as they helped [color=#99ccff]stoke[/color] [color=#cc99ff](v.[/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]使[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]…[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]不悦[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt])[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]nationalist anger after the outbreak of [color=#666699]ethnic Tibetan unrest [/color]and [color=#666699]foreign protests against the [url=http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/o/olympic_games_2008/olympic_torch/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier][color=#666699]Olympic torch[/color][/url] [/color]this spring. [/size][/font][font=宋体][font=Georgia][size=14pt]（[color=#666699]西藏暴动、外国抵制奥运圣火传递）[/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][/size][/font][/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]Even so,[color=fuchsia] Chinese leaders generally treat unscripted public involvement in civil affairs as a threat to stability. [/color]The reaction to the quake in Sichuan Province shows how rising wealth, cellphones, text messaging and mass transportation now [color=fuchsia]make it much harder for the authorities to control popular reaction to a major event.[/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]看看西方媒体的感情色彩？？对中国人民的团结也要做文章？对中国政府的应急能力表示怀疑吗？！[/font][/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][/size][/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]The public’s spontaneous rush to volunteer[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt] is a piece of the same defiance[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]（[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]n.[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]蔑视[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]/[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]不欢迎）[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt] in which media outlets collectively defied an initial ban by the[color=#99ccff] party’s Propaganda Department[/color] [/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]（中国共产党统战部）[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]on firsthand coverage of the quake.[/size][/font][/size]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]“This is a significant turning point for China,” said Bao Shuming, a senior research coordinator for the China Data Center at the [/size][url=http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/u/university_of_michigan/index.html?inline=nyt-org][color=#004276][size=2]University of Michigan[/size][/color][/url][size=2]. “[color=#99ccff]This is going to dissolve some boundaries between the government and the common people. People are becoming more educated and organized, and society is becoming more open.”[/color]
[/size][/size][/font][size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]因为[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]Chinese people are volunteered to do sth.[/size][/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]For many Chinese, the public reaction is simply a natural outpouring of grief and a desire to help, reflective of a society where[color=#99ccff] more people are now rich enough to give back([/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]越来越多的人富起来了，要回报社会[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt])[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]. Even as traditionalists deplore modern China’s moral drift and embrace of materialism, a catastrophe projected to claim 50,000 lives, including thousands of children, has struck a deep chord.[/size][/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]“We grew up reciting Confucius saying that all men are born kind, but it takes a disaster like this to bring out the innate kindness of everyday human beings,”[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt] said Alan Qiu, 41, an investor in Shanghai. “People are touched by the scenes of children and also the value of life. [color=fuchsia]We grew up in a society where people tend to believe that Chinese lives are of less value than foreign lives.”[/color][/size][/font][font=宋体][font=Georgia][size=14pt]这是西方的认为吧？！[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][/size][/font][/font][/size]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]Outside the earthquake zone in Sichuan, the public response has grown exponentially. Exact figures change daily, but donations from Chinese citizens and companies have already surpassed the $500 million allocated by the government, according to state media. Some donations have been big, with Run Run Shaw, a Hong Kong millionaire, giving $14 million, while schoolchildren have donated the equivalent of pennies. [/size][/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]Blood drives, cake sales, charity fund-raisers and art auctions have already been held. Other people have dropped everything and raced to the scene. Forty members of a private car club in Chengdu, Sichuan’s provincial capital, made multiple trips transporting more than 100 injured people out of the [color=#99ccff]devastated city [/color]of Shifang. Others have filled their cars or sport utility vehicles with supplies and driven hundreds of miles to Sichuan’s mountains.[/size][/size][/font]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]Public interest is being driven by images and stories of heartbreak in the Chinese media that once would have been banned.[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]在西方人看来我们这次的报道是越公开化了。[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt] State television has replayed film of herculean efforts to save trapped people, while newspapers have also been allowed to describe the horrors and graphic details of the devastation. [/size][/font][/size]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]“One of the most amazing things is to see 24-hour coverage,” said Anthony Saich, a China specialist at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. He added, “Given the heightened sensitivity to the Olympics and the [color=#ff99cc]nationalist pride [/color]pumped up with the events in Tibet, maybe there’s a[color=#ff99cc] heightened sense of patriotism[/color] that was easier to mobilize here.”[/size][/size][/font]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]Mr. Saich noted that China’s younger urban generation had shown little interest before in the [color=#99ccff]plight[/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]（苦难）[/font][/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt]of people in the countryside. “But now they are really shocked by the conditions people are living in.”[/size][/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]Developing a robust civil society is considered a major step if China is to become more democratic[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt], and some advocates are hoping the earthquake proves to be a defining moment that will inspire the public to push for more change in the future. As yet, though, nongovernmental organization’s are still playing a very minor role, and Mr. Xing of the Yunnan Institute acknowledged that merely being allowed at the scene did not mean that private groups were having the sort of impact they desired. [/size][/font][font=宋体][font=Georgia][size=14pt]西方又再希望我们推行民主！[/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][/size][/font][/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]“The most frustrating thing is that transportation is a big headache,” he said. “We have so much [color=#99ccff]cargo stuck[/color] [/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]（货物阻断）[/font][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt]on the way. We know thousands of people are in need urgently. But we simply cannot get to them.”[/size][/font][/size]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]There are also a few emerging warning signals. Some companies are now requiring employees to make contributions rather than encouraging volunteerism. Bloggers have hectored celebrities, including the basketball star [/size][url=http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/m/yao_ming/index.html?inline=nyt-per][color=#004276][size=2]Yao Ming[/size][/color][/url][size=2], whose[color=#99ccff] relief donations [/color]are not deemed big enough. The torrent of contributions inevitably raises the specter of corruption and concerns about whether the money will be well spent. Government officials are starting to seek out experts on how to make rescue efforts more efficient.[/size][/size][/font]
[size=2][font=Georgia][size=14pt]For now, though, the huge public response, and its often chaotic, ad hoc nature, is evident in much of the earthquake zone. State media reported that the first private volunteers to arrive at the scene were a rescue team organized by the president of a Jiangsu Province investment firm. Since then, a passionate [color=#99ccff]contingent[/color][/size][/font][font=Georgia][size=14pt][font=宋体]分遣小队[/font][/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt]of private citizens has steadily arrived. [/size][/font][/size]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]Here in the remote village of Luchi, the local glass factory is a shattered husk while clusters of brick farmhouses are leveled. For Liu Lie, 67, a rice farmer, the situation is dire. He is sleeping with seven family members under a plastic tarp. Every wall of his home has been destroyed. But at the edge of his tarp, Mr. Liu pointed to stacks of bottled water, boxes of snacks and food and two bags of rice — all donations from volunteers who came here.[/size][/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]“They are coming because they love the Chinese people,” Mr. Liu said. “You have to understand the difference between the old society and new society. Twenty years ago, we didn’t have food to eat. Now people are bringing us supplies from Guangzhou and all over the country.”[/size][/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]Mr. Liu must still rebuild his home and restart his life long after the volunteers have returned to their regular lives. His wife, Guo Bihua, 63, is worried. “I’m worried about how we will build the house,” she said. “I’m old.”[/size][/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]Not far away, Mr. Hao, the psychologist, was just arriving with two other bikers, including Larry Wang, a Chinese who spent 30 years living in New York City. They had met in Chengdu and were riding through devastated rural areas to provide counseling. Mr. Hao lives in the teeming export city of Shenzhen and had two weeks of supplies stuffed inside a backpack.[/size][/size][/font]
[font=Georgia][size=14pt][size=2]He said he was excited to talk to survivors, especially children, and to help them cope. But do not tell his wife. “My wife doesn’t know I’m here,” he admitted. “She would be too scared. She thinks I’m in Guangzhou[/size].”[/size][/font]
