答案

One possible version：

Dear Peter,

I’m very glad to help you fully make out the public service announcement you saw on the Internet. A strong earthquake measuring 8 on the Richter scale rocked Wenchuan in Sichuan province, southeast of China, on May the 12th, 2008. It’s reported that 69,227 died and 374,176 were injured and 18,222 were missing or buried in debris. Most towns in the area were in ruins, making millions of people homeless. After the disaster, the government calls on every people in China to make an effort to offer aid to the disaster-hit area. As the Chinese words on the picture express, which means “Unity is strength”, only if the whole nation joins together do the government and its people have firm determination and full confidence to overcome all the difficulties and help the stricken area to reconstruct.

I’m always ready for any of your questions about Chinese culture.

Yours sincerely,

Lihua
