After I put down the phone, my heart never felt so heavy. I just called my parents in my hometown, Chengdu, a city with 12 million people, which is just 90 kilometers away from the center of the strong earthquake at a magnitude of 7.9. It has killed more than 10,000 people so far. The death toll is still rising hour by hour.
