    Maybe. Now the Chinese Government claims that people should be reasonable and show their patriotism in a correct way. But what is the correct way ? Is it to sit silently in the house and watch TV, or just go to school and work as nothing has happened? It is really hard to tell that who first started this. However, the tendecy that it goes can tell something. What I hope is just to treat things equally and reasonably. We enjoy our life, and we hope all can treasure what they have and be a little more nice to each other. Just as Larkin says in his poem Mower:”

    …Burial was no hope:

    Next morning I got up and it did not.

    The first day after a death, the new absence

    Is always the same; we should be careful

    Of each other, we should be kind

    While there is still time.”
