At 14:28 on May 12, 2008, wenchuan, China, a 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck suddenly, and many people's fate changed. Some stayed on that day forever, while others were lucky enough to fight their way to this day. After losing her best friend and both of her legs in the earthquake, she rose from the ground, with the help of countless people, to despair that she would never be able to stand again, to walk freely around a university campus, to wobble to Beijing to further her studies. Behind her, there are countless Wenchuan people who have the same experience.

It was a fine afternoon. The teacher was speaking carefully on the platform. I was listening and writing notes. Suddenly, there was a violent shake, and the Windows rattled. We all stopped and looked at the window. Some students said loudly in a joking tone: "The earthquake." There was a burst of laughter. The teacher looked out of the window and went on with his lesson. But within 30 seconds, the whole building suddenly shook violently again without stopping. I was shocked to see the wall falling one by one around the corner... I heard desks and chairs banging, panicked screams, footsteps... As I sat still in my seat, I saw the ceiling crack radially in all directions and fall... There was a big hole in the middle of the classroom. I felt my body sink and fell down. I closed my eyes and worried that I would fall to my death from the fourth floor.
For a split second, I hit the ground. The pain came from under my feet like a knife... The air was thick with the smell of concrete. When I opened my eyes, it was dark except for a small hole on the upper right. I reclined sideways in my chair, my left hand pressed under the prefabricated panel on my right. Back soft, I know is my deskmate, he has no vitality, I know he is gone... There were cries, male voices, female voices... I was scared, but I didn't want to cry. I thought I would get out alive. I had to get out alive. In the confusion there was a clear voice called: "Teacher Wei! Teacher Wei!" But there was no response... Next to came another sobbing voice: "Teacher Wei in the podium, the podium fell..." I heard a voice said the earthquake something, I knew it was an earthquake, just at that moment, I thought it was just the building collapsed...
After an unknown amount of time, parents in the neighborhood came looking for their children. Parents moved over the rubble, Shouting their children's baby or scientific names. I heard an uncle talking nearby. I shouted loudly, "Uncle, can you help me out?" My uncle used his hands to pick up the gravel beside the small hole and the light shone through. He looked at me and said, "Son, you are buried too deep. Uncle can't get you out, but uncle can dig the hole bigger so that you won't be smothered." Uncle with a hand for a long time, the only fist big hole was opened as big as the basin. Someone kept Shouting: "Uncle, save me!" "Classmate, we have to save the classmate above first, and then save the classmate buried deep!" I looked up and saw how deep I had gone! It was getting dark, and a big, big lamp was shining on the ruins. The light came in from the hole, and I could occasionally see moving heads outside. But I was so tired that I fell into a deep sleep. In the middle of the night, I was awakened by the sound of trumpets and aftershocks outside. With the light from the hole, I looked at my watch. It was already twelve o 'clock. Through the hole, I saw the rain falling down, like a thin embroidery needle broken oblique lights, fell down... There were no more shouts or cries for help. I fell asleep again before I knew it... Outside, the sky was gray and still raining. I looked at my watch. It was 7 a.m. Except for the voices of rescue workers and machinery, the ruins are very quiet. It's my turn at last. I looked at the time. It was twelve o 'clock at noon. But I feel very sleepy already. My uncle covered me with wet cotton-padded clothes to keep the sparks from the oxygen welding machine from burning me, then began to cut the prefabricated panels piece by piece and remove them piece by piece. When moving the prefabricated board dropped sand "hua Hua" to the left ear irrigation, I quickly tao ear, just tao sand and irrigation in, I had to cover my ears. Sparks splashed over me, and the rain began to fall on me. It was cold and painful, and I felt like I didn't have the strength to keep my eyes open. I asked: "Uncle, how long, I am so sleepy, want to sleep!" "Don't go to sleep, boy. You'll be out soon!" It was the next morning. Doctor, the doctor said that my leg pressure is too long, must do the left leg amputation operation, my father cried in front of so many people, several distant relatives came to see me, asked me what I want to eat, I said I want to eat strawberries. Just then the doctor passed by and said to my parents, "Buy her whatever you want, and a new dress. In case it doesn't work out, you can't walk naked!" Then he said to the nurse beside him, "Go and buy some strawberries for the little girl." It wasn't long before I had my left leg amputated for a second time, this time down to the thigh because of an infection. An imported material was then applied to my right leg to drain the discharge and blood stasis. About a week later, the right leg gradually returned to normal.

After my third amputation, I was transferred back to orthopaedics. I got better after a few days, my wounds healed, and it was mid-June. In late June, I had another surgery to repair my left leg, and by early July I was almost cured. I did the same training repeatedly every day. I practiced sit-ups and swallows flying for a month, and just stood up for two weeks after I put on the prosthesis, which was boring and seemed meaningless. I went to the training room every day and often sat there in a trance, or even slept directly. To later can go out after walking, positive training for several days, walk a few steps tired sweating, panting, two months does not seem to have much progress, so there is no enthusiasm, three days fishing, two days drying nets. Later, I couldn't stand the need for help everywhere. I had to fetch my food, wash my clothes, and even go to the bathroom with someone. I desire for freedom, the independence of body and mind, I hope I can go anywhere I want to go to, want to do, so they often practice to walk, to the three basic need not confined to a wheelchair, back to the new school to the university without the wheelchair, while walking the wobbly, but the basic can live independently. Now I can stagger around alone with a suitcase.
