Recently, a epidemic named swine flu, which firstly broke out in Mexico, has disseminated throughout the whole world. The governments of all the countries take quick actions to control the spread of the disease. However, despite different kinds of effort made by governments, there have still been nearly two hundred people dead because of these epidemic. The bad situation inevitablely woke the bad memories of SARS, which broke out in China in 2003. Fortunately, this time, the Chinese government performs well and now the situation is well controlled, related patients are under strict control.
Now come back to the situation in Singapore, the government's action is soon enough. Next week, we will be asked to take the temperature before we enter the classroom and in hostle we are ordered to form pairs to inspect temperature each other. But what I concern most about is that whether the situation of swine flu will influence my trip homewards. As I have already booked the air tickets, I am so worry about it. I have also heard that a governor in Mexico blamed that it was Chinese passenger who brought the swine flu into Mexico from China. In my opinion, what he said is very rediculous and irresponsible. As a responsible country in the world, China is play an increasingly important role in the world and it is unnecessary for China to do that to divert the disease. And we can also see that every time when China has something important to keep focus on, there are some countries standing out to blame China for its bad record of human rights.
It is undeniable that the rise of China is unstoppable. Nevertheless, the whole world needs more time to adapt. Holding the largest foreign exchange reserve, China is no longer the minor role on the world's stage. From the current situation of swine flu in China, we can see Chinese government's process in dealing with such kind of emergency. Now in mainland China, the epidemic is well controlled and there is nobody infected.
Now there are still 74 days for me to go to finish the bridging course and that also means that I can go home after 74 days. The friends in China, I miss you so much!
It is true that people all over the world are worrying about the swine flu. At present, people who survived from the swine flu were very few. As a result, all the people are in the fear. Also, my roommates and I have booked air tickets to go back to China after the bridging course. We are worrying that whether MOE will prevent us to go back to China due to the swine flu. I hope that this disease will be overcome soon. I agree with what you talked about the Mexico government’s criticize to China. In addition, I think it is not the right time to talk about whose responsibility it is. All the countries should try their best to find the way cure the people with swine flu.
ReplyDeleteIt is ridiculous of Mexicans to think like that. To me, what Mexico officials said was humiliating. They had no respects for China. All over the world, hostility towards China still exists. We cannot change this, but we should defend these for our own sake. On the hand, I am glad that you went home before the first H1N1 appeared in Singapore. In this situation, you can avoid having quarantine in China. I hope that you can adjust to the life in China. I also expect that you will come to Singapore again. All in all, best wishes!
