We are watching the Earthquake ceremony in Qinghai on CCTV 9. The others are also showing it. QQ seems alive and well, but maybe less activity

 

I had also heard that there would be no sporting events today

There is no "entertainment" TV today. There is also no gaming on the internet. The world famous "farm game" is not accessible. All entertainment videos...for that matter..all entertainment including movie theaters, arcades, internet cafes are supposed to be closed.

 

When they have a day of mourning here, they make sure no one gets any entertainment.

Just checked a few of the cable channels CCTV First Theater, Discovery-clone, CHC, etc., they're all showing the same video.

Yep .. I was in the hospital with my wife on this day ... no entertainment on any TV (Shenzhen TV stations, etc. all the same as CCTV) station. The May 2008 earthquake had a similar mourning period but it lasted 3 days.
