China comes to a standstill in silent tribute to earthquake victims 能够满意的追+100
China stood still.Heads bowed,helmets in their hands,soldiers balanced on the rubble.A mother whose child bad died wept quietly in her van.Thiusands gathered under the portrait of Chairman Mao in * Square.
China's 1.3 billion people stppped yesterday at 2.28pm- the exact time of the 8.0 magnitude earthquake a week ago-for three minutes of silence to grieve for as many as 70,000 people who are feared dead.In Hongbai ,one of the worse-affected towns,a single siren wailed and the few dozen people still in the town pressed their car horns.A military helicopter hovered overhead,its emergency siren howling over the roar of its blades.
It is the first time that China has mourned its ordinary citizens.
Flags across China were lowered to halfmast.President Hu Jintao fiew back to Beijing after three days in the earthquake zone for the start of the period of national mourning.Bars,clubs and cinemas have closed.The Olympic torch relay through Chinese provinces will be suspended.Entertainment websites are redirecting users to commemorative sites.
The devastation caused by an earthquake that China has described as its worst in more than half a century has brought together people from across the country to offer help.
As loudspeakers announced the end of the silence people rushed to the flagpole in the square holding up placaards reading "Go China ".Then came roars of "Long live China "and "Stay strong China!".

Amid the grief three people were pulled out alive but one woman died later.The rescue operation also suffered when landslides buried about 200 people en route to distant villages.
