xuejiao lin on 05 Oct 09. In the disaster of earthquake (Sichuan Province, China ), Ai Weiwei, one of Bulogger.cn authors, charged that the high number of school fatalities was due to local officials siphoning money from school building costs. Grieving families said the structures were badly built and collapsed easily during the quake. But officials refused to list the names of the dead students, which could be used to unveil a possible cover-up, so Ai formed the "Sichuan Earthquake Names Project" with researchers and volunteers who discovered the names of 5,190 students.
