Chapter 44 other survivors

In the helicopter, on a stretcher next to me, lay a skinny old lady, her eyes were covered with eye mucus, and her face was completely expressionless with age spots. Her leg was broken, and I saw from her face I couldn't see the pain on the surface, but I found that her left hand on my side was trembling slightly.I thought of my elderly mother, and felt sad.I stretched out my movable right hand and gently held her hand. Her hand was as cold as a dry branch.Her hand continued to tremble in mine, and I cried out in my heart, why, why did this happen?Why should people who are already poor suffer so much!

... On the night I was transferred from West China Hospital to Chengdu Armed Police Hospital, the ambulance brought another wounded man, who was placed in a hospital bed opposite to me.He came from Wenchuan and was a worker in a power plant.His left leg was broken and was covered in a thick cast.He lay there quietly, unable to sleep as I did, the pain in my body tortured me, but what about him?I learned from a volunteer that the survivor crawled out of the ruins by himself.Before the earthquake, he was in the kitchen. At that moment, he fell to the ground and his head was knocked unconscious by the falling refrigerator.When he woke up, more than thirty hours had passed.He saw a glimmer of light, and that light gave him hope.He moved and found that his body could still move.So, he started to save himself.He struggled to clear the obstacles in front of him with his own hands, and moved towards the bright place bit by bit... The nails on his ten fingers fell off, and he endured severe pain. After more than seven hours With unremitting efforts, he finally climbed out of the ruins. After seeing him again, he found that his leg was also broken, and none of his relatives survived.

... The girl looked about six or seven years old, with a pair of beautiful big eyes, but there was no happiness in those beautiful big eyes, but deep melancholy instead.She lives in the tent next door to me.Because there were too many wounded, the Chengdu Armed Police Hospital temporarily set up many tents on the playground, and those of us who were not life-threatening wounded lived in the tents.In the few days I was there, I never heard the little girl cry or cry out in pain, and she also had her leg broken.The volunteer elder sister said that this girl is very strong, since she was rescued, she didn't even shed tears once.The medical staff, volunteers and patients in the hospital like her very much.But when the reporter from the TV station came to interview her, she didn't say anything!

... Many people, because of their persistence, have created miracles in life.For example, Wang Huazhen, a woman from Hanwang Town, Mianzhu City, who was rescued after being trapped for 164 hours; Li Kecheng, a middle school cook in Hongbai Town, Shifang City, who survived 108 hours by relying on sheets of homework paper and a bottle of urine; 52-year-old Ji Zhongshan, who was buried under the ruins for 117 hours; Ma Yuanjiang, who was buried in the ruins of the Wenchuan Yingxiuwan Hydropower Plant for 179 hours; Yu Jinhua, an employee of Yingxiu Hydropower Company, who was buried for 150 hours and underwent high-level amputation... …

How precious life is! While feeling sorry for these survivors, I deeply mourn for those who died in the ground!
