落木萧萧下

负面新闻和小国心态

最近天涯上有这样一个帖子，说是bbc对于中国雪灾有如下报道：

As China continues to endure the worst winter storms in five decades, some roads and airports are beginning to reopen.

Paramilitary police clear snow off an expressway in Nanjing, east China

Prime Minister Wen Jiabao has been visiting hundreds of thousands of stranded passengers.

He addressed crowds first at Changsha railway station in Hunan province, then at Guangzhou station in Guangdong.

He promised to get travellers, many of them migrant workers, home for the all-important spring festival holiday.

It is rare for a Chinese politician, especially the prime minister, to apologise so directly to the people.

"Comrades, I'm Wen Jiabao," he began. "I am here to comfort you. You have suffered a lot and I feel your pain.

"The south of the country has suffered from the most serious heavy snow in the past several decades. I totally understand how eager you want to go back home. I can tell you that we are trying our best to restore the power supply."

'It's a joke!'

Mr Wen's comments were also directed to China's provincial leaders.

Squabbling over resources has meant that as many as 17 of China's 31 provinces have been experiencing power-outages, while others are running short of food.

In Beijing, the Politburo met and ordered provincial officials to make fighting the effects of the terrible weather conditions their number one priority.

After many years of fast development, how can we face such a miserable situation?

Comment on Chinese website

Over 300,000 paramilitary police, and almost 200,000 People's Liberation Army troops, have now been deployed in an effort to get the country moving again.

But for some, the government is not doing enough.

One comment on the popular website tianya.cn said: "Emergency plan? It's a joke!"

The posting continued: "The snow alone can destroy China. The government won't take care of you even if you are freezing."

'Helpless'

Another poster complained: "After many years of fast development, how can we face such a miserable situation? It's corruption that makes our infrastructure so vulnerable. The Chinese government should wake up."

Normally at this time of year, China's millions of factory workers journey back to their villages and families - instead they are taking shelter far from home, in the freezing cold.

Outside Hangzhou railway station, temporary shelters have been constructed.

Li Yulian, a migrant worker, is still hopeful of getting home.

"I feel helpless. There is nothing I can do with the weather like this. When I reach there, I hope I can find a bus to bring me home," she said.

Many workers, like Wei Haisheng, are growing frustrated.

"I cannot get a ticket and I am not able to go home. So I am feeling frustrated and my family back home is also getting worried about the situation," he said.

Even the considerable efforts of the Chinese state may not be enough to get them home; the country's weather service reports that for some central provinces, the worst is still to come.

In some areas, airports, roads and railway lines have begun to reopen, although many provinces are still experiencing power and food shortages.

But despite the promise of their prime minster, many hundreds of thousands are stranded in railway stations and will not make it home for China's most important national holiday.

<百万中国人民被冰封的灾难>

BBC发自上海的报道

最近由于中国继续承受着五十年来最恶劣的冬季风雪，（被迫关闭的）一些道路和机场即将重新开放。

在中国的东部城市南京，公路警察正在高速公路上扫雪。

国家总理温家宝正在灾区慰问数以万计的被困司乘人员。

他最先来到湖南省长沙火车站，对被困群众进行演说慰问，其后来到广东省的广州火车站。

温家宝向旅客（其中大部分是外出打工的农民工，他们是为了回家渡过一年一度最重要的春节）承诺（不久火车就会通车，大家都能回家过年）

对于一个中国的政治家来说，特别是国家总理，如此直接的向群众道歉是十分罕见的。他强调：“同志们，我是温家宝，我是来看大家的，你们受了很多苦，我都能感觉到你们的困难。”

"我国的南部遭受了在过去几十年中最严重的大雪，我完全能体会大家是多么渴望回家，我可以告诉你们，我们正在尽全力恢复供电" 。 这是一个笑话！

温先生的意见，也针对中国的省级领导人。 （这里不懂为什么这么写，强烈疑问）

关于资源的争吵也意味着多达17个，中国的31个省都已经体验到电力紧缺，而其他省份也面临着粮食的日见短缺。

在北京，中共政治局召开会议，并下令省级官员发挥带头作用，在恶劣的气象条件做斗争。

经过多年的快速发展，我们怎样应对这样一个悲惨的局面呢？

来自中文网站的评论

超过30万的警察和几近20万人的解放军部队，目前已经部署方案，正努力争取国家再次“运行”。

但一些人认为，政府做得不够。

来自很红的天涯网站的评论说： "应急计划吗？这是笑话" ！

帖子还说到： "仅仅是大雪就可以毁灭中国，即使你正受冻政府是不会管你的 。“无助啊’

另一网民抱怨说： "经过多年的快速发展，我们怎么能面对这样一个悲惨的情况？我们的基础设施如此不堪一击正是因为腐败。中国政府应该警醒了" 。

通常在每年的这个时候，中国的数以百万计的工人要返乡-而冰冻的天气使得他们回家的计划搁浅。

乘客试图登上一辆公共汽车前往广州火车站

在杭州火车站外场，临时安置站已建成。

农民工李玉莲，仍然希望能回家。

"我感到十分无奈，对于这样的天气我真的无能为力，当我到那里，我真希望能找到车带我回家， "她说。

很多工人，比如WEI HAISHENG正在不断经历这样的挫折。

"我买不到票看来我不能回家了，所以我感到沮丧而我的家人带也越来越担心这种情况能否回家， "他说。

即使是付出相当大的努力，中国政府可能仍不能让他们回家;国家的气象服务报告预计：对一些中部省份来说，未来的恶劣天气可能仍将持续。

虽然许多省份仍然在经历了电力及其他能源和粮食的短缺，在一些地区，机场，道路及铁路线已开始重新开放，。

但是，尽管有他们总理的许诺，对成千上万滞留在铁路车站的人们来说，他们可能无法回家渡过中国最重要的法定假日。
