Translated from Chinese by Candice Zhou





 


      A 12 years old student named Li Yue is from Beichuan town, Sichuan province.  She was buried in the ruins,  whose left leg was pressed by a huge Cement board.  The rescue team was lack of tools which could move the board.  Li Yue begged to the accompanied man,”I’d rather suicide if I lost my leg.”


 


    But if not rescue Li Yue,  another four students under her couldn’t be rescued also.  There were several aftershocks everyday, and might cause more casualties.  At last, Li Yue’s mom agreed to doctor’s advice, to saw the left leg of her daughter.


 


    After 69 hours pressed in ruins,  Li Yue was rescued.  When she awaked, she found she had already lost her left leg.  However, she didn’t cry.


 


    I have seen many stories about the earthquake, and this is the first one about the child who didn’t cry.  Wish small Li Yue be strong to go on her way.  And hope more people to help her and accompany with her.
