Man alive nearly 179 hours after quake

YINGCHUAN, Sichuan, May 20 (Xinhua) -- Ma Yuan Jiang, a power plant executive, was rescued at around 00:50 a.m. Tuesday from the rubble in Wenchuan County of southwest China's Sichuan Province, nearly 179 hours after the May 12 earthquake.

The 31-year-old survivor was pulled by a Shanghai rescue team from the debris of a flattened power plant, after more than 30 hours' efforts.

Rescuers found Ma at afternoon on May 18 at the debris of a flattened office building, when they were digging hole trying to reach Yu Jinhua, a colleague of Ma.

Followed by an amputation operation, Yu was rescued at about 6:00 p.m. on May 18. Rescuers then turned to Ma and sent sweetened water to him through a straw.

Ma was receiving treatment at the temporary clinic of the Chongqing No. 3 Military Hospital, and will be sent by air to a hospital in Chengdu.

He was a power generation department vice director of the Yingxiu Bay Hydro-Power Plant.

The next sentence has made all of us very surprised."I want to make donation!" He donated several coins from his bowl.He let one worker to help.(As the donation box is out of his reach).The worker knows it means to much to him,and let him put the money in the box by himself.Everyone in scene is touched deeply.

Moved!A man rided a autobike with his dead wife in his back,going to the local dead house. This is a poem created by an internet friend in Chinse on this. “娶妻入门背进门,同命相怜送君尘。欲哭无泪心流血,单车无助送归程。”

Truly a triumph of human spirit.

That being said, when it comes to saving their own, the ChiComs are great. Otherwise,....

I was deeply touched by the true love during this horrible catastrophe. I feel terribly sorry for those people suffered from it. I wish I could do something for them, more than what I am doing now.

There are lots of good deeds happened in this catastrophe that showed true love. Teachers saved their class but lost their lives. Grandma threw the baby out of the window at the life-threatening moment. Many soldiers tried their best to save people under the ruined walls or ceilings.

Seeing all these, everyone would come to tears.
This catastrophe caused a lot of homeless people, and a lot of injured people or even dead people. The wills and faiths of Chinese nation have experienced great challenge. But I believe, Chinese nation is a country that had ever faced a lot of challenges before, we will never surrender to death or any catastrophe, at this very moment, we need be united, stand together, face everything! We will finally have our success!

I wish all the best for the people in Sichuan. Hope they can go over this, and re-gain their courage and rebuild their homes.
God Bless China, God Bless Chinese people.

When i saw the above photo,i can not help cring. On May.16,when 11 boy Zhang Jiwan with his 3 year sister on his back appeared in front of the reporter,this little brother had walked more than 10 hours holding his sister. At 5pm on May.16 in Beichuan city, one group appeared from the remote mountains.Their eyes show the attaching to their parents/relatives,afraid to be divided again. 11 year boy walked very hardly with his sister Zhanghan on his back. While his Grandfater and Grandmother are to old to do so,and walked along with them.His parents went out to make money.So little Jiwan has taken the responsibility to take care of his little sister.He said,he loved his sister very much.  **************** From the pic,we can see the little girl is very naive,and she is too little to realize what has happened around her.She also didn't know how hard is for her 11 year brother to do so.It's very hard to imagine what's support this little boy has walked for more than 10 hours.The byway in Sichuan is very hard to walk.Chinese old proverb says:"蜀道难,难于上青天." In this proverb,蜀 means Sichuan.The meaning is the road in Sichuan(or Walking in Sichuan) is harder than you climb to the sky.Maybe you can imagine the hardness for this little boy to do so.

I am not very clear about the meaning of this

sentence:”That being said, when it comes to saving

their own, the ChiComs are great. Otherwise”

Whether you attack CCP or not.
If attack,pls stop,you don’t know them at all,from

western miede,what you saw is all the

criticism/unjustice.You can not comment them

impersonally.If you want to know more, i’am willing to chat with you.
If you praise them,pls disregard my above comments due to my poor English.

Sure, let’s discuss (but probably not on this thread). I am praising the spirit of the Chinese people and definitely NOT the ChiCom regime - the most barbaric authority in human history.

Mao, that syphilitic fool, killed more people than Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot combined! And that’s a fact - not “Western media injustice.”

I’ve interacted with mainland Chinese citizens closely and count a few as good friends - they are mostly great individuals even if they are brainwashed by heir regime to an extent that’s frightening.

When the rescue team found her,she was dead already,she was pressed dead by the collapsed building.This is the most great dead posture:Both of her knees genuflected,body pitched front,hands upheld here body in a grovel posture. Afterwards,the rescue team found a baby alive under her body.The baby is about 3 or four months old,nothing affected.When the doctor began to do physical examination for the baby,a cellphone was found in the blanket,and one short message was shown in the screen:"Dear Baby,if you can be alive,you must remember i love you." The cellphone was past by people in scene,and everyone cried.

after more than 30 hours' efforts.

I heard it took a lot less, only a little more than three hours. To be precise . . .

3:10 to Yu, Ma.

You are talking about a dead man.In your logic,then every country,every party,are not innocent.

Once they made fault,all things around them are always wrong?

How about check how many evil spirits existed in human histroy?Why not trial yourself for your grandfather's guilty?

Even the ChiCom you talked about has admitted that Mao is 70% meritorious and 30% faultful for his whole life in public and books.Every chinese know it.When you always looking at the dark part,chinese are now more practical.Sometimes you are like the old chinese,they always hate imperialism and America.Maybe you are glad to meet them.But sorry they are less now.

You don't know China ,at least for now.Knowledge always needs to be refreshed.And with your bias ,you will never know china.It's easy to put a tag of balck or white on someone,but that's your individual will,not the whole world's or history's.Save your complaint and criticism,at least not this time when the evil men you talked are saving lives now.If it makes you uncomfortable,you are ill.

Coming from you, an admitted mouthpiece of the CCP, that’s rich....LOL

I am not going to respond to you trolls anymore on this thread. If you want to contact me and learn something about your recent history, send me a FReepmail or we’ll find a different thread.

Less said the better about your thoughts on freedom, liberty, bias, and the ChiCom regime. Stop the genocide in Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and Xinkiang and then let’s talk about the value of human life in China. Get it?

Now I realize ,when you cant make a reasonable reply ,you will just put another tag out.What a coward.

You are the one I am not going to respond any more ,you are not worth it.

Allow me using the sentence I just learnd by someone in your forum——"As one of our most popular talk radio hosts, Rush Limbaugh, says “Ignorance is the most dangerous commodity in the world.”"

Look here, ChiCom mouthpiece - don’t think you can silence the few of us who really know the truth about the barbaric ChiCom regime. You are not going to shut us down even if you ping all your compatriots from that ChiCom forum of yours.

Truth will always prevail and the ChiComs will lose. Period.

Somebody (you) who defends the Chinese Communist Party on this forum and asks that we “understand” their barbarism is worse than ignorant. You are evil.
