People began to figure out, in the Sichuan Provence, that the reason so many school buildings had collapsed -- because tragically the earthquake happened during a school day -- the reason so many school buildings collapsed is that corrupt officials had taken bribes to allow those building to be built to less than code.
Masyarakat mulai menyadari, di provinsi Sichuan, bahwa alasan banyaknya bangunan sekolah yang hancur, karena gempa bumi ini tragisnya terjadi di hari sekolah, alasan banyak bangunan sekolah hancur, adalah bahwa pejabat yang korup telah menerima uang suap guna mengijinkan bangunan didirikan dibawah standar.
