( Tangshan Earthquake happened on July 28, was the greatest earthquake of the 20th century in China. Before the earthquake, many strange things happened, but people thought little of them. Such a great number of people died during the earthquake, because the quake happened while they were sleeping. The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000. And all the traffic was almost destroyed after the quake. Thousands of thousands of people became homeless in a short time.
