China declared three Days of National Mourning for earthquake victims. The mourning period is May 19th to May 21th. There will be three minutes of silence nationwide starting at 2:28 p.m. (0628 GMT) ― exactly a week after the magnitude 8.0 quake struck Sichuan ― while horns of vehicles, trains, ships and air raid sirens wail in grief. All national flags will fly at half-staff at home and at Chinese diplomatic missions abroad.

As Chinese on Duke campus, we are closely tied to all the people in China. Therefore, we suggest DCSSA members wear white flowers from Monday to Wednesday to express our deepest grief over the victims and their families.

Here is a link where you can learn how to make a white flower by using some materials which can be easily found.
