Last time the county seat moved, it did not adversely affect the culture, and this time the culture moved to its death. Those who defend the Qiang minority culture need to understand what the Qiang minority culture is. Culture is something that passes through talented people before it is passed on. If no one is there to inherit it, the culture becomes a fossil and ceases to exist.

It's difficult to find another good place to move the whole city to because every decent place is already overloaded. Of course, we also need consider cultures, especially minority cultures. Nobody would want to remove an established city if they truly understand these situations. Now migration is the only way to reconstruct the city. Think about that. We need to make a decision after reflecting and considering everything and thinking with someone else's perspective. Don't consider oneself always right and make yourself an arbitrary environmentalist.

What action is being taken to find out who is responsible? I think we owe it to the dead to learn the lessons -- incompetence and corruption kill people. If these lessons are not learned then all the sympathy for the victims and their families is empty. I read in Caijing magazine that only 19 per cent of the donations given by people for earthquake relief actually reached the victims.Is this true?
