At 10:00 am on April 14, 2025, the atmosphere in the conference room of BUCF was solemn and dignified. All staff members observed a solemn 3-minute silence in silence to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the 4.14 Yushu earthquake. The sound of the alarm pierced through the tranquility, and the mournful cries seemed to be recounting the painful past of the devastating disaster 15 years ago. Everyone present was filled with deep nostalgia for the deceased, and tears flickered faintly in their eyes.
Looking back to 7:49 am on April 14, 2010, Yushu, Qinghai was mercilessly hit by a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1. In an instant, the earth shook and countless houses collapsed, and the once peaceful towns and villages were reduced to ruins. This disaster was extremely painful, with 2698 fresh lives abruptly coming to an end and 270 people missing any news, causing immeasurable damage to the hearts and lives of the local people in Yushu.
For the past 15 years, BUCF has never stopped its assistance to Yushu and has always stood firmly with the people of Yushu, walking hand in hand through the difficult journey of reconstruction and development, and achieving fruitful results. Substantial assistance funds have been invested. From the emergency allocation of disaster relief supplies after the earthquake to the long-term implementation of assistance projects, every effort is full of deep affection and friendship for the people of Yushu.
This silent commemoration event is not only a heartfelt tribute to the compatriots who died in the Yushu earthquake, but also a profound review of the foundation's 15 years of rooting in Yushu and selfless dedication to work. BUCF solemnly promises that in the future, we will continue to focus on Yushu, increase our assistance efforts, and work together with the people of Yushu to strive for a better tomorrow.
