After the 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Wenchuan County in Sichuan province on the afternoon of May 12, the cadres and workers of Dr.Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum were in great grief and they closely concerned about the situation in the disaster area. The disaster relief should be carried out without delay! As a saying goes: When disaster strikes, help comes from all sides! The whole staff of the administration bureau of Zhongshan Tomb appeals to donate money to the disaster area by their own actions and emotionally moved the public and tourists. The Bureau donated 200,000 Yuan to the disaster area. The cadres and workers also made contributions. Some donated 500 Yuan, some 200, and some 100. They dedicated their love, faced the disaster together with the compatriots in disaster areas, and encouraged and supported them to rebuild their homes.
