On March 28th, a 7.9-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, causing devastation across the region. As of noon on March 30th (local time), the disaster had claimed 1,700 lives, injured 3,400, and left approximately 300 missing.
The tragedy in Myanmar has pulled at the heartstrings of people around the world. As a neighboring country, china responded with urgency, swiftly extending a helping hand. On the day of the earthquake, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China extended deep condolences for the people of Myanmar and pledged to provide emergency humanitarian assistance and support according to Myanmar's needs.
China's immediate response ranged from offering one billion yuan in emergency humanitarian aid to dispatching multiple rescue teams and supplying essential relief materials such as tents, blankets, first-aid kits, food, and drinking water. These actions exemplify China's commitment to doing its utmost in times of crisis and underscore its sense of responsibility as a major power.
Following the disaster, Myanmar's leader Min Aung Hlaing called upon countries, organizations, and individuals to assist the affected regions.
China and Myanmar are friendly neighbors linked by shared mountains and rivers, with a deep bond of pauk-phaw friendship (pauk-phaw means fraternal in the language of Myanmar). In the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, the Chinese government promptly launched an emergency humanitarian relief operation, swiftly coordinating aid efforts. Chinese rescue teams braved long distances, racing against time to save lives, and were among the first to arrive at the disaster-stricken areas to carry out rescue operations.
China's overnight relief efforts not only conveyed the goodwill and friendship of the Chinese people but also helped Myanmar people overcome hardships and bolstered their confidence in recovery. As Chinese Ambassador to Myanmar, chen Hai, emphasized, china has not only provided professional rescue assistance but also demonstrated the profound fraternal bonds between the two nations through actions, reinforcing the vision of a China-Myanmar community with a shared future.
China has consistently extended a helping hand in the wake of international disasters. For instance, in April 2015, when an 8.1-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal, the Chinese government immediately provided 20 million yuan in emergency humanitarian aid, including tents, blankets, and generators, to assist in relief and resettlement efforts. Similarly, in February 2023, after a 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit Turkey, china provided 40 million yuan in emergency assistance, dispatching rescue and medical teams while supplying essential relief materials.
Time and again, china has reached out in times of crisis, undertaking life-saving missions across borders. Each of these efforts reflects China's compassion and strength, its commitment to the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind, and its dedication to upholding the principles of international humanitarianism.
As the ancient Chinese saying goes, "When people are in the same boat, they must pull together in times of trouble." Today, the international community must also call for global solidarity. Humanity shares the same global village, where the past and present are deeply intertwined. By working together with a shared commitment to the future of humankind and the well-being of all people, we can promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and create a better world.Source:Lingnan on the Cloud
评论｜跨越山海的紧急驰援，彰显中缅深厚胞波情谊
3月28日，缅甸发生7.9级地震，截至当地时间30日午间，已造成1700人死亡、3400人受伤，另有约300人失踪。
缅甸地震，牵动人心。作为邻国，中国快速反应，紧急驰援。地震当天，中国外交部迅速表态，“对缅甸人民遭受的地震灾害感同身受，愿根据缅方需要，尽己所能向缅甸灾区提供紧急人道主义救援和支持”。
从提供1亿元人民币紧急人道主义地震救灾援助到派出多支救援队，再到提供帐篷、毛毯、急救包、食品、饮用水等灾区急需物资，中国在震后的一系列行动，生动诠释了“尽己所能”，深刻彰显了大国担当。
地震发生后，缅甸领导人敏昂莱呼吁各国、各组织和民众对缅甸地震灾区提供援助。
中缅山水相连、世代毗邻而居，两国人民胞波（兄弟）情谊深厚。地震发生后，中国政府第一时间宣布启动紧急人道主义救援行动，紧急协调救灾援助；中国救援人员更是跨越山海之远星夜驰援，为生命接力、与时间赛跑，率先到达地震灾区开展救援工作。
中国连夜紧急驰援缅甸，传递了中国人民的善意与友好，有助于帮助缅甸受灾群众渡过难关，增强缅甸人民战胜灾害的信心。正如中国驻缅甸大使马珈所称，中国不仅为缅甸灾区人民带来了专业的救援力量，更用实际行动诠释了中缅深厚胞波情谊，践行了同甘共苦的中缅命运共同体理念。
面对国际社会发生的地震等灾情，中国总是第一时间伸出援手。比如，2015年4月，尼泊尔发生8.1级强烈地震，中国政府当即决定向尼泊尔政府提供2000万元人民币紧急人道主义物资援助，包括帐篷、毛毯、发电机等灾区急需物资，帮助尼方开展救灾安置工作；又比如，2023年2月，土耳其发生7.8级地震，中国提供4000万元人民币的紧急援助，向土耳其派遣救援队伍、医疗队伍并提供救灾所需物资。
一次次驰援，一次次助力，一场场跨越山海的生命接力，无不表明：中国人民用行动展现中国温度和中国力量，践行人类命运共同体理念，弘扬国际人道主义精神。
中国古人讲“同舟共济”，现在国际社会则需要“同球共济”。人类生活在同一个地球村里，生活在历史和现实交汇的同一个时空里，大家一道努力，以人类前途为怀、以人民福祉为念，推动构建人类命运共同体，将建设更加美好的世界。
