There are countless stories out there. Countless ones that gives us the motivation. Many of which r depressing, r so hopeful yet wasted. Who doesnt want a happy ending, probably, the best ending is all in the making, it's all well planned. The Earthquake in China left millions of residents homeless, ppl lose their assets, children lose their parents, parens lose their child. *** There was this man.. participated in the rescue team. Digging dirt from the ruins, discarding the piled-up concrete underneath. in search of nothing left. There was possibly nothing one can find from the aftermath. He lost almost everything, He lost his house, yes he lost everything, he lost his family. aft 139 hours of the befall. he dug deep into sandwiches of bricks n walls. He heard a cry. a cry. it's a baby's. He got anxious. there's life. there's something to save. he dug deep. n deeper. not giving up. determined to go all the way into. n finally he dug out a baby with a dislocated neck. He sat at the core of wad he dug, exhuasted from the tough labour, n passed the baby up to other men above receiving the miracle. Though paralysed, the baby's only eye opened wide, squinting at the sudden exposure of outside light. when the baby received adequate medical care n was able to speak... "where's the uncle? where's the uncle that carried me out?" The baby's both eyes were bandaged up. he couldnt see nor cry. just calling out for his saviour...the man got out of the ruins. Climbed up n limped towards what he just saved. The man looked at the little life. he flinched. It is his very own son. *** Days passed. wad ppl in China's rescue team can gather are dead bodies, broken limbs, and dried up waste. All devastated. It's like a whole pool of nothing left. all just part of substances returning to mother nature. There lies this woman. Possibly one of the luckiest woman. lucky not because she's alive. no, she's taken. As rescue team was clearing the scene, it was the turn of the woman's body, underneath yet another overweighing broken downs. There is something more. As they carried the woman's body off the original position. They found a child beneath her tattered body. Her son. as wished, hugged close to the already-liveless body survived the tragedy. Wad is disheartening to know is the woman has her breast out... her son's mouth still attached to the best food source for her son. still nibbling on... the mother did not die immediately aft the collapse. The two was trapped. The mom probably starved to death while shielding her son. but she thought of the best way to keep her son alive. n inside the son's clothes lies this handphone on the message screen..."孩子，如果你能活下来，你要知道妈妈爱你。” *** This young man. travelled all the way, miles across China, right into the shattered scene of the disater aftermath. In search for his love, in search for this girl whom he planned to marry this yr. he wasn't at the scene when the disaster struck. He didnt meet his girlfriend out as he has his problems to attend to at home. n he blamed himself for that.. He rushed all the way down. Climbed on the concretes and slide down the fields. No notice board was available on whu's missing or found. he just continue searching. Till den, he saw one visible hand lying patiently outside a whole cave of ruins. He couldnt move any of the concrete away above wad's trapped under it. he could only see the hand lying outside . He recognised that hand. He recognised it str8 away. that hand belongs to his girlfriend. He didnt know wad to do except for lying beside that unidentified hand. Clutching it. He said stories to that hand, he shield it from the sun and rain, he didnt sleep nor eat. for 3 days he laid with that hand, witnessing the rescue being done n just prayed it would be fast forwarded. he continue to say stories. The girl was brought out of the lighter ruins. He was right, she is indeed his only love... Her girlfriend laid beside the now exhuasted boyfriend, smiled n said slowly, "when i didnt hear your voice, death god was just beside me" Love works. ( ps. pardon me for my really bad english. I rushed through this before book in =) ) Posted by ChangYu at 5:47 AM
