Truly a triumph of human spirit.

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

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.
