one word one moment

One Word One Moment

China proclaimed 3-day mourning for the Sichuan victims. A Nation prayed together from May19 to May 21.

China's 1.3 billion people observed three minutes of silence starting at 2:28 p.m. — exactly one week after the quake. I designed this slideshow to keep moment of silence forever.

Google China’s Search Log Displays Moment of Mourning

Google China’s blog (in Chinese) mentions a Google search query log which dramatically shows the moment of silence and mourning on 2:28PM on May 19 for the victims of the May 12 earthquake in Sichuan.

Apparently, even Google search queries fell off dramatically during that three-minute moment of silence where Chinese stopped everything they were doing to observe a moment of silence.

The graph says it all.

Black and white news front page in mourning hasbeen a norm for great national tragedies or war in China since before World War 2 / Sino-Japanese War, and now, it is a continuation of that great tradition into the webpages.
