Help pours from across the Straits

HANWANG, Sichuan: "We're all Chinese."

This is the answer Ou Chin-der, leader of a Taiwan Red Cross rescue unit, gave when asked why his team had come to Sichuan.

"I believe that people from Taiwan are more anxious than people from any other region in the world after the deadly earthquake hit Sichuan," said the leader of the first team to arrive from across the Taiwan Straits.
