History Of Chinese Red Cross: Part I, Caroline Reeves

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

Among the scenes of devastation—small bodies in shrouds; crumpled buildings and bridges; dazed survivors—another image flashes across the screen: something familiar, something reassuring to international viewers. Out of the chaos appears the symbol of the Red Cross, on the arm of a medic, on the side of an ambulance: a sign that there might be some hope—or at least some comfort—for these victims of China’s horrific earthquake.

As we watch the unreal footage of a natural disaster that has, so far, claimed almost 30,000 lives, we are brought back to our own comfort zone by the presence of that familiar …

Her full translation is highly suitable for both secondary and tertiary classrooms, and it’s a steal for only $6.95.
