At that moment, countless people were in tears.

At 6:00 on the morning of May 19th, Chengdu taxi driver Chen Guang took over the car from his partner and turned on the car radio. In fact, from the news the night before, he had already known that the State Council had issued an announcement designating May 19th~21st for three days as a "national day of mourning" to commemorate the tens of thousands of compatriots who died in the May 12th Wenchuan earthquake.
