August 15, 2010, started out like any other day, but it quickly became the focus of millions of people. As flags were lowered to half-mast throughout China, the nation felt deep grief for the victims of the devastating mudslide in Zhouqu County, in northwestern China＇s Gansu Province. Just days earlier （midnight on August 7 to be exact）, the mudslide ravaged the beautiful county; in a twinkling of an eye, homes were damaged and family members were forever affected. By August 26, more than 1,400 people had been confirmed dead.
