As Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said, the tragedy created by the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear incident is the biggest crisis for Japan since the end of World War II.

I feel sorry for the victims, and may they rest in peace. What's important now is to try our best to save and protect the people alive. I am glad to see that the Chinese government has sent a rescue team to Japan. I think all human beings should join hands to cope with natural disasters.
