On February 5, 2008, 65438, the Red Cross organizations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait held the signing ceremony of the Wenchuan Earthquake Reconstruction Agreement in Yingxiu Town, Sichuan Province.
Jiang Yiman, executive vice president of China Red Cross Society, and Chen, president of Taiwan Province Red Cross Society, signed the agreement. The signing ceremony was attended by the Taiwan Province Affairs Office of the State Council, relevant leaders of Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, and responsible persons of the Red Cross.
On May, 2008 12 14: 28, an earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale occurred in Wenchuan, affecting Gansu and Shaanxi provinces. Tens of thousands of compatriots were killed in the disaster, millions of families lost their homes handed down from generation to generation, and the wealth accumulated by decades of hard work was destroyed. Disaster is merciless. In the face of the sudden huge disaster, the people of the whole country, our compatriots in Taiwan Province, Hong Kong and Macao, overseas Chinese and the international community actively donated money to help the people in the earthquake-stricken areas.
Shortly after the earthquake, the Red Cross Society of Taiwan Province Province immediately organized a search and rescue team to carry out emergency search and rescue operations, and sent a medical team to the disaster area according to the needs of the disaster area to provide medical assistance services to the affected people. In Taiwan Province Province, there are also touching fund-raising activities. All walks of life actively donated money and delivered a large number of rescue and relief materials to the disaster area.
Recovery and reconstruction after Wenchuan earthquake is a very arduous and challenging task. Facing the difficult situation of vast territory, large population, complex natural conditions and serious infrastructure damage in the disaster area, under the overall reconstruction plan, the Red Cross Society of Taiwan Province Province actively participated in post-disaster reconstruction projects according to the needs of the disaster area and the reconstruction plan. The earthquake caused many schools and hospitals to be damaged and collapsed, which brought great difficulties to the people in the disaster area for medical treatment and students' study. Helping compatriots, alleviating pain and restoring normal life are related to the harmonious development of society. Therefore, after careful discussion and research, the Red Cross organizations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait decided to sign the Agreement on Cross-Strait Red Cross Organizations' Participation in Post-Wenchuan Earthquake Reconstruction in Yingxiu Town, which was once the epicenter of Wenchuan Earthquake. The signing of this agreement marks the official start of the post-earthquake reconstruction work of the Red Cross Society of Taiwan Province Province, and also shows the determination and will of the Red Cross Society to actively participate in the post-earthquake reconstruction of Wenchuan. At the same time, it also indicates that the reconstruction work of the China Red Cross in the disaster area is progressing in an orderly manner.
Disaster preparedness and relief work is the traditional work of the Red Cross, and it is also the top priority. In all previous major domestic natural disasters, the Red Cross organizations on both sides of the Taiwan Straits actively supported and cooperated with each other, which fully reflected the deep feelings of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits that blood is thicker than water. Through the joint efforts of the Red Cross organizations across the Taiwan Strait, the post-earthquake reconstruction project will be implemented as soon as possible.
