Rebirth

One of the most poignant images on the 10 o'clock news tonight: a girl pulled out from underneath the rubble after 40 hours celebrates her 20th birthday today. The rescue team broke out in a birthday song to wish her well.

Like the old Chinese saying goes 大难不死必有后福. She's a lucky one. I guess even God couldn't bear to put an end to her earthly existence on the very day when she was thrust into it only a mere two decades ago; instead, He grants her a new lease of life.

A true rebirth indeed.
