THE NIGHT THE EARTH
DIDN’T SLEEP 地球的不眠之夜

the countryside of northeastern
Hebei.For several days,the water
in the village wells rose and fell,rose and fell.There were deep
cracks that appeared in the well
walls.At least one well had some
smelly gas coming out of
it.Chickens and even pigs were too
nervous to eat,and dogs refused to
go inside buildings.Mice ran out of
the fields looking for places to
hide,and fish jumped out of the
water.At about 3:00 a.m., on 28
July 1976,bright lights were seen
in the sky outside the city of
Tangshan and loud noises were 河北省东北部的农村地区怪事连连。一连几天, 村里的井水升升降降, 起起伏伏, 井壁上出现了深深的裂缝, 至少有一口水井冒出臭气。鸡甚至猪都焦躁不安,
不愿进食;狗拒绝进入屋内。老鼠跑到田外, 寻找藏身之所;鱼儿也跳出水面。1976年7月28日凌晨3:00左右, 唐山城外的天空中出现了耀眼亮光, 接着又传出巨大的声响。然而, 那天晚上城里的百万居民仍像往常一样沉睡在梦乡。
