Another Earthquake in China

So, apparently there was another earthquake in China. This one hit Yunnan province in the southwest. I'm in China, and I never heard the news. Then again, I really don't pay much attention to anything recently. I only just recently heard about all the Uighers in Xinjiang killing all the Han Chinese and the Han's trying to get revenge. I can scratch that off my list of places I wanna visit. Anyways, no one was reported killed in the earthquake or the 8 aftershocks. Here is the article I found online for it.

An earthquake rocked China tonight, causing at least 10,000 homes to collapse and injuring more than 300 people.

The quake, measuring 6.0 on the Richter scale, hit Yunnan province's Yao'an county in the south west of the country.

It was was followed by eight aftershocks.

So far there have been no reports of deaths.

But Chinese official state media said that at least 336 people were injured, with 30 cases serious.

More than 40,000 houses were damaged by the tremor – of which a quarter collapsed.

State officials said they were sending 4,500 tents, 3,000 quilts and other relief materials to Yao'an.

And hundreds of extra police have been dispatched to the disaster zone, a quake-prone, mountainous region that lies on China's southern border with Thailand and Burma.

It also borders Sichuan province, where a magnitude-7.9 quake last year left almost 90,000 people dead or missing.

In 1988, a 7.1-magnitude quake in Yunnan killed more than 930 people.

More than 15,000 people died after a magnitude-7.7 earthquake in the province in 1970.

But authorities at the time covered up information on casualties and damage amid the chaos of the Cultural Revolution.

Hello! Here is a little about me:...

Hello! Here is a little about me:

I'm originally from America nearby Boston, but I live and work in China. I am a veteran of the US Navy and an alumnus from the University of Virginia.

In the past, I've often traveled to China and visited different cities, experienced the culture, and practiced the language. I've lived in Beijing for about 24 months spread out over the past six years, and now work in Shanghai. I've traveled all over the country, and been to more than 40 different cities. I've also traveled all over the rest of the world; Asia, North America, Europe and the Middle-East. Of all the places I've been, Beijing is definitely my most favorite. There is always something to do no matter what time of the day or day of the week it is. After Beijing, I like Chongqing, Sanya, and all of Yunnan province.

Some hobbies I enjoy in my free time include playing tennis, rock climbing, snowboarding, swimming, American football, basketball, badminton, ping pong, soccer, and pretty much every other sport you can think of. I've recently become interested in golf, and would love to meet people to play with.

I also really really love movies; I love both Chinese and Western movies. Everything from action to horror and even some romantic comedies. This deep appreciation for films is what brought me to Alive not Dead in the first place.I also like Japanese animation like Naruto, Dragonball Z, and Bleach.

My favorite foods in China are Beijing kaoya, hot pot, jiaozi, zhajiang mian, yuxiang qiezi, mapo doufu, gongbao jiding, yangrou chuanr and ma la tang. I really like spicy food!

For music, I like rock and hip hop. Some favorite bands I like are Green Day, Led Zeppelin, All-American Rejects, Blink 182, Jay Chou, Linkin Park, Wang Leehom, Guns N' Roses, Eminem, CCR, Fall Out Boy, Kanye West and a ton of others. I also listen to a lot of classical music, especially while working. I love piano and violin music the best. My favorite violinist are Nicolo Paganini and Antonio Vivaldi. Also, I love Pachelbel's Canon (Canon in D major) and Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor by Beethoven.

Anything else you want to know just ask! Thanks for reading.
