Puteri’s Musings 2

Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao has urged people to “have faith” that some of the worst snow storms in 50 years can be overcome, state media says.

Mr Wen called the extreme weather a “severe natural disaster” as he travelled to Hunan province, one of the worst-affected.

The weather has caused travel chaos and left thousands of people stranded.Full story here.

“We have the faith, courage and ability to overcome the severe natural disaster.” the Chinese Prime Minister is quoted as saying. Poor Chinese people. Faith in what?

If its faith in their own ability to recoup the losses and damage incurred in the worst storms in half a decade, sure. What choice do they have?

I don’t think the Prime Minister is suggesting the people put their faith in God. Oh no. Not from the Chinese Communist leader. There is no place for religion in communism after all.

I don’t know if I’d bother trying to get home for the Chinese New Year if I were one of the Chinese people at the train stations or airports.

Just look at the HUGE crowd! And these people were forced to stay out in the cold all day and all night!

Forget it, if it were me!
