China’s Earthquake – Photos of dead children confiscated from their parents

Saw a repeat running of this program tonight on CBC. Highly recommended. A few things touched my heart: I just can’t imagine a heartless government confiscating photos of children died in the earthquake from their parents, just so they can’t hold the photos in protests! And how brave and insightful one of the 9 year old “hero” (Lin Hao) in the earthquake and how wise he was behind the Chinese TV cameras.
