Beichuan County, the hardest hit area in 5.12 Sichuan earthquake, has spent RMB 1.1 million (USD160, 854) on one Land Cruiser, an imported luxury car, which has triggered explosive critique among the Chinese netizens. Blogger 心寒 (Chilling Heart) writes he could not help bursting into rage while many others, including 贫道中国人（Humble Chinese Taoist）, regretted their donations to Sichuan (zh), but Beichuan government has repeatedly defended its decision.
