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.

Mind the Gap at 14:28 Google China’s search log

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

People use black or grey buddy icon on social websites.

Black and white news front page in mourning has
been 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.
