Graphic artist Coco Wang’s first response to the earthquake was to help at the front. But the need to keep traffic clear and a lack of knowledge of first aid would make her more of a burden than a help.

..but I can’t just sit at home and do nothing… The amount of incredibly moving stories of victims, rescuers, volunteers is simply shocking at the moment. I have been collecting newspapers of all the stories, and telling them in the form of comic strips.

The strips, whiche tell stories ranging from horrifying school collapses to the latest installation about saving people and pandas from a zoo, offer a little window on the imagery and tone with which the earthquake is entering public imagination in China according to Jame Fallow, an Atlantic correspondent there. But they also offer us in the west a unique way to view and relate to stories poised to become legend and an indelible part of the Chinese psyche.

I hope you could know something about the earthquake in China, although you don’t have to do anything, but I hope you could feel our love and hope.
