A 7.8-magnitude quake rocked Wenchuan county, 159 km northwest of the Sichuan province's capital of Chengdu, at 2:28 p.m. (0628 GMT) Monday, killing thousands of people in eight affected provinces.

The Chinese government is sparing no efforts in disaster relief, rescuing the injured, properly arranging the daily life of the people in the disaster areas so that social order there can be restored as soon as possible.

  

The quake spread to Hebei, Henan, Yunnan province, even Taiwan Hankong many provinces ,districts and cities. After the quick the museum was closed and began to take a complete check-up of each cultural relic. And the next day all the staffs of Henan Museum began to donate to the disaster area Wenchuan County of Sichuan province. That little money will express all of our concern for the victims of a natural calamity.
