Looking at news articles reporting about the different people who survived, and the different people who died. Different things looked upon with the same emotion. Watching the news and reading the newspapers, there are good news and bad news altogether on the same page, but all I felt was sadness. I cried when I saw the reports and the photographs of faces flattened beyond recognition, of bodies lying around.Teacher Blocks Floor Slab with Body, Saving Four Students
Middle school teacher Tan Qiuqian from Hanwang Town in Deyang City sacrificed himself for four students. "He was found with his arms spread over a desk where four students were found underneath," said a rescue worker. "Tan was dead but the children were still alive!" The back of Tan's brain was smashed by the floor slab.
Also in Deyang City's Shifanghongbai Town Central School, a young teacher named Tang Hong could have easily escaped from the building because he was teaching on the ground floor. Yet, when rescuers found his body, he holding one of his students in his arms while sheltering several others with his body.
Tang died in rubble, but the students he protected all survived. Tang was just over twenty years old with a nearly seven-month-old baby.Taken from The Epoch Times
And there was the mother, who had sacrificed herself by shielding her baby with her body when the quake took place. She had left an SMS on her phone to her child to tell the child that she loves him.
Lots of tales of bravery, of love, of sacrifices, of goodbyes.
I thank God that I live in Singapore which is safe and sound,
I thank God for my friend who managed to escape unharmed
and I pray that the people in Myanmar and Si Chuan will be able to live through this disaster-plagued days. Amen.
P.S. I have finally gotten my wireless connection!
