The toll turned out to be unimagiably high. Billions of cockroaches, a main
species of "not China" Honkong, had been trampled or forced from their newly
built nice homes in many streets. The lives of the surviors and other
locals (including bricks, concrete blocks, and scrap metal objects) are
still in great jeopardy.
With great sorrow, we call on the international cocachroach commmunities to
