A picture is worth a thousand words.

No matter how hopeless it may seems, I have no doubt in my mind that people of Australia will get through this. With that kind of compassion, love and spirit, there's no doubt that Australia will bounce back, even stronger.

My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones.

CCTV New building

CCTV New building

My deepest condolences to the family of the firefighter who died on his duty, but it's also extremely fortunate that Mandarin Oriental Hotel (owned by cctv) is not completed yet so it's likely that nobody was actually inside the building.

But no sympathy for CCTV though, it deserves this, and with little bit of guilt, I was kind of hoping that  the main building also catches the fire.

And I was amazed on how fast the social network like Twitter responded to this news. Pictures of the building on fire were already widely circulated less than half an hour after the fire, and official media were busy reporting another fire in Australia ... another prove to show that even the State thinks foreign lives are more valuable than Chinese.
