I think these guys took advantage of the rain and helped when they could… better than most I would say who stayed home and did come to anyone aid.

Ah great. Coz from those photos that your friends and yourself sent to this site, aside from one photo, it doesn’t look like you guys did much to help. But then again, partying photos are always more fun to show than helping out photos. Glad you and your friends helped out somewhat.

we did help….we pushed a car on the freeway that had stalled, prevent two accidents and helped some people carry bags across flooded areas

I’m sure they had fun at the time and it actually does look somewhat fun, but the area where there were some major flooding at Guangqumen (and you’ll see photos of submerged cars from that area all over the news now) is just right around the corner from Shuangjing, so in hindsight, all that partying was probably a little irresponsible. Also, they probably could have channeled some of that extra energy they had to help those in need instead, like some people stranded around that area or offer a helping hand to rescuers who are actually helping others …
