Picture Discussion

This picture depicts a scene of many distraught, saddened and badly traumatized faces from everyone who is there. Something terrible and unacceptable must have happened in that place that everyone is in. If not, I see no reason why they would be in such a distraught state that I hugely sympathize with them.
From the woman who is right in the middle of the picture and seemingly the most distraught person in it, I presume that the place that has been badly affected took place somewhere in China. The reason to back what I have presumed is because the women who seems the most distraught looks like a Chinese, a Chinese from China. And i suppose that it is raining quite heavily there as well because everyone is clad in raincoats and many people are holding onto umbrellas to shelter themselves and maybe others from the rain.
The woman whom I have used to back what I have presumed, seems very badly affected by whatever that had happened there that people have to hold her back from whatever she is going to do or where ever that she is going to. She is so devastated that she does not even bother to open her umbrella that she is holding in her hands to shelter herself from the rain. From that, we can see just how devastated she is. Because for a normal person, when it is raining and there is an umbrella with you, you would open it up to block the rain away. But this woman does not care about the rain at all. And she is gripping onto the umbrella very tightly. Something really bad must have happened. A natural disaster must have happened for her to feel that way. Something like an earthquake or flood. But I think an earthquake had occurred instead of a flood because everyone seem to be still on low-lying land as seen from the background. There are still trees at the back which i think if it is a flood, they would have gone to much higher lands to avoid the flood. I really sympathize with that woman as I think it was her closed and loved ones that were lost in that event because only your closed and loved ones can cause you so much pain if they were really gone. I suppose she knows that her closed and loved ones are still in whatever that have happened and wants to go look for them. Even if they have really left her, i think she would still react in such a way and want to look for them. If she knows her family are in the crowds, she will not be reacting in such a way. She would be looking for them in the crowds rather than forcing her way out, back to the place that had been struck.
On the left hand side of the woman, there are two men who are soldiers. I can see that from the uniform that they are clad in. I suppose that they are either situated there to control the crowd of people if anything happens and to take care of everything there or they are also evacuating to a safe place like everyone else. But before whatever had happened, they were working thus they are in their uniform. But I doubt the latter that i have said is likely as it is more likely and possible to be taking care of the people. From one of the soldiers' action, the one nearer to the distraught woman, I presume he also wants to help to control the woman as that is part of his job when he is in that uniform. But even if he is not in his uniform, he should give a helping hand when needed too, not only when he is in his uniform. That should be the spirit of everyone, to help anyone when needed.
A man, holding onto a stick, standing at the extreme right of the picture seem to be in great pain and torture. He seems to be holding back his tears as i suppose, like the woman, he has lost his loved and closed ones. He has a face that is on the verge of crying yet he is holding it back. I think he is being very strong as a very big and unfortunate thing had happened but he is not allowing himself to cry. I suppose he wants to be strong so that he can still support the survivors of his family, to help them continue their life without the others.
My heart really goes out to all those people who have suffered in this unfortunate event, especially the survivors of the terrible event. They will have to continue on with their life, whether they like it or not. But they have been badly traumatized, both physically and mentally. Physically was what that event have caused and what was left afterwards. If it really was an earthquake, they will have to rebuild their homes again. But mentally is worst of all, they have to accept the fact that they have lost their closed and loved ones forever. It is a thorn that can never be taken out of them, even until the day they die. That is the most horrible and painful thing that the survivors will have to bear, it is something worse than punishment, something worse than torture. I would really hope they would get all the support and care that they would need. I know it is not easy for them to get over it and I have no rights to console them as me, myself, have not gone through this sort of terrible trauma but I would really wish them all the best in the next chapter of their life.
