Tangshan plans to build a park to commemorate the big earthquake

Chinanews, Tangshan, May 21 �C Tangshan, a city that was reduced to
rubbles in a large earthquake in the 1970s, now decides to build a park
to commemorate the disastrous event. The park will cover 40 hectares and
will be built on the site where the earthquake actually occurred. The
Tangshan municipal government announced last Friday that they now have
begun to solicit ideas worldwide for the design of the park. The
winner(s) will be awarded 20,000 US dollars.
On July 28, 1976, a big earthquake, which measured 7.8 on the Richter
scale, rolled through the Tangshan city. About 240,000 people lost their
lives, which was the most catastrophic event in the world��s earthquake
history.
It took Tangshan people 30 years to do the reconstruction work. Through
building the commemorative park, local government hopes that all people
will remember that part of the history and local government can pay more
attention to the public��s mental needs and make efforts to build a
��harmonious and safe environment for people living now,�� an official
from the Tangshan City Planning Bureau when giving an interview to a
reporter from Chinanews Service.
