Yesterday and today there were earthquakes in two places, one in Jiuzhaigou, one in Xinjiang. Xinjiang is a big place but I forgot the small place’s name. In Jiuzhaigou it was a 7.7 earthquake, in Xinjiang it was a 5.2 to 5.3 earthquake. In Jiuzhaigou 13 people died and 175 were injured. I think southwest China, especially in Sichuan there are many earthquakes. In 2008, a city named Wenchuan had a big earthquake, so Sichuan is dangerous. If shanghai has an earthquake you shouldn‘t stay in the building, you need to run outside. I’ve never been in an earthquake, so I don’t know what I should do.
