00037: AIDS Day in Shanghai

    It is a special day for all the people in this world, a day for a sort of disease that human beings still can not entirely know about. We have landed on the moon. We have dived into the deep water. We have shoot man-made spacecraft into the Mars. We learn so much about the natural world rather than ourself. 
 
    AIDS was first discovered in the early 1980s. The entire human beings have been involved in great horror after then. Sex is no longer a pure and safe enjoyment for people. Although we have conquered many difficulties and discovered lots of new scientific theories, we have not found any effective way to cure AIDS diseases. 

    Today is an AIDS day. We Chinese also pay great attention on this disease. So do the mass media. The local news paper posted a detailed report on AIDS situation in Shanghai. Our Premier Wen Jiabo donated his 5000 RMB yuan salary to AIDS contracted people. It was reported that the first government-financed gay bar would be opened Dec 1st in Dali city(a tourist city in Yunnan Province)on yesterday newspaper. However, we get to know the bar is shut due to some special reasons. 

    Shanghai Authority released that 392 AIDS cases was discovered in 2009, up to 886 cases in total over the years. According to an investigation, 38 percent of AIDS people  in China were contracted the disease by homosexual activities. I also read a piece of news saying that there is a group of gay volunteer in Shanghai, who open the first gay hot-line in China. These volunteers go to deliver free condoms in some sauna places regularly at the same time.  

    I see too many red ribbons today in newspaper and TVs today. I believe it is a good starting point that we begin to care about AIDS and AIDS people. I sincerely wish we can do it everyday rather than the December 1st. We should learn how to protect ourself, and do not pose discrimination on AIDS people. More importantly, we ought to cherish our life. I remember a sentence which is saying that " Cherish yourself because you will die for a very much long time!!!!".  

    Best wishes to you all.
