Stories from the Sichuan earthquake
A lot of the coverage of the Sichuan earthquake in the English press has been negative: not terribly surprising, given the general state of China in the English language press.
A group of Chinese-speaking internetters have taken it upon themselves to translate a bunch of Chinese stories about the earthquake, culling them from blogs and newspapers. These are not stories about the government. These are mostly stories about individual people and their struggles to help others.
I'm not saying that these are necessarily all there is to the story. I'm just saying: reading couldn't hurt.
