What is the magnitude of Wenchuan earthquake?
On May 12, 2008, a magnitude 8 earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan. This earthquake is the most destructive, widespread and difficult to rescue since the founding of New China. According to statistics, in this earthquake, as many as 5 1 county and city with houses directly collapsed and mountains shattered, and nearly 20 million people were displaced in the earthquake.

The 8-degree zone of Wenchuan earthquake covers an area of about 27,787 square kilometers, with the southwest end reaching Baoxing County and Lushan County in Sichuan Province and the northeast end reaching Lueyang County and ningqiang county in Shaanxi Province. The 7-degree zone covers an area of about 84,449 square kilometers, reaching tianquan county in Sichuan Province in the southwest, liangdang county in Gansu Province and Fengxian in Shaanxi Province in the northeast, Nanzheng County and Xiaojin County in Sichuan Province in the easternmost, Maiji District in Tianshui City in Gansu Province in the northernmost and Yucheng District in Ya 'an City in Sichuan Province in the southernmost (also the site of the 20 13 earthquake).

After the earthquake, the slogan of "One side is in trouble, all sides support" and "Unite for earthquake (flood) relief" became people's slogans, showing the positive spirit of Chinese sons and daughters, and letting us see the spirit of Chinese sons and daughters' love without borders.

In this deplorable disaster, there are also many things that warm people's hearts. For example, Shandong 10 farmers trekked thousands of miles, spent four days and three nights riding tricycles to Wenchuan for earthquake relief, and 15 paratroopers jumped blindly from a height of 4,999 meters, all of which will be unforgettable and forever remembered.
