Translated from Chinese by Candice Zhou

The 12 years old student Li Yue was from Beichuan. She was buried in the ruins. Her left leg was stuck between huge concrete sheets. The rescuers didn’t have the equipment to remove the heavy concrete. Li Yue begged the man accompanied her, ”I’d rather kill myself if I lost my leg.”

The dilemma facing the rescue team was there were four other students buried underneath Li Yue who were still alive. If they couldn’t take Li Yue out quickly, the four students’ can’t be rescued and their lives were in danger. There were several aftershocks everyday, and might cause more casualties. At last, Li Yue’s mom agreed to doctor’s advice. Her daughter’s left leg was to be amputated on site.

After 69 hours under the 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 will come to help her and support her.

When the rescue team found her, she was already dead, crushed by the collapsing building. Through the gap of a pile of rubble, the resucers saw her in a strang kneeing position, upper body bending forward, two arms stretching to support the body, as if in an ancient ceremony. The rescuers shouted toward the debris, tapped on the bricks. No response. They moved on.

The team leader suddenly realised something. He rushed back. “Come! Come!”, shouted he. He moved closer to her, stretched to reach underneath her upper body. After trying several times, he shouted, “There is someone! There is a child! Alive!”

After while they managed to remove the rubble on top of her. Underneatch her chest, protected by her arms and legs, was this baby, wrapped in a red quilt with yellow flower spots, only 3 or 4 months old, sleeping, uninjuried.

A doctor came to examine the baby. Unfolding the quilt, a mobile phone dropped out. On the screen, there was a text message, “My dear baby, if you survive, remember I love you.”

The doctor, who had seen too many terrible things in the last few days, bursted into tears. The phone was carefully passed around the rescuers, when the tears flow.

      In China, it's always registered to be husband and wife in one day and has the ceremony wedding on the other day.  We all know that the ceremony party in China is complicated and majested.  Then how about the registation day?

 

      To tell you mine: in the morning, I became wife of Mr Ken. Liang.  And he went to play basketball with his friends and I went to classroom of Sun Yet-sen Uni. to study English.  Then we have our "big" dinner in the canteen.  Haha~~~Such an interesting day!

      May, 1st...

 

      Anniversary of our 7th getting-together..

 

      And I am married also~~~:)

 

      Our wedding celebration will be on Sep. 13rd, in zhongshan!!

 

      Welcome to my sweet sweet day!!!

How you life your life?

You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside.
You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.
You prefer a variety of friends and tend to change friends quickly.
You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.

 

It seems that this quiz reminds sth deeply inside.   Recently I am getting into a paradox of my career.  Now my position is like a sale but more than a sale.  What frustrates me is that I don't like the cold call and don't like to contact customers which is the important part of my task.  Although my salary seems so high, I still can't tolerate this kind of JD.  If the job can't bring me happy, then just give up..I said to myself.  Maybe my dream is too big, maybe it is time for me to reconsider my future.  and now i just want to have a rest...

 

do your quiz in http://www.blogthings.com/howdoyouliveyourlifequiz/

      Three years to stay in this office?  What does it mean?  Less freedom, Less hope...

 

      Once I am very happy with the policy of my company, for I don't need to sign the labour contract which means that I can come and go easily.  But now the contract is coming...

 

      If I sign, then can I fulfil my aiesec dream?  can I continue my study? can I...?

 

      If no sign, then what will I be?  Another confusion...Just want a little space to let me breathe...

we have bigger houses but smaller families
more conveniences, but less time
we have more degrees, but less sense
more knowledge, but less judgement
more experts, but more problems
more medicines, but less healthiness
we’ve been all the way to the moon and back
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour
we built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever
but have less communication
we have become long on quantity
but short on quality
these are times of fast foods
but slow digestion
tall man but shout character
steep profits but shallow relationships
it’s a time when there is much in the window
but nothing in the room

 

copy from Jocelyn's space...and have lots of mood from this word...

       My lovely blog in sina of hk is still unaccessed:(  They told me that users in mainland of China couldn't get to it yet, and what's worse, they don't know when we can use it.  It's time to test my tolerence. 

 

      A lot of words to speak out...And I still wait and wait.  Maybe it's the reason why I am not so happy recently.  Too many words to stay in my heart.

 

      Tired of the life style now.  Don't want to be office.  When my position changed from consultant to sales, my mood is worse and worse.  I know that sales can make a lot in my company and only sales is the way to cheer up.  However, I really don't like such a job description.  It's difficult for me to contact sb for business, even i was afraid of this.  Maybe it's time for me to think about my future.  I turn back to @ and search TNs..Apply to UBS again though I know it's hopeless.  Try to put my energy in marrigement, but find it hard to control.  what hells is it?  everything is not so smooth that I really fell I tried of anything.

 

      Morven told me that she felt pressure in her job.  She can't serve two consultants at one time and felt uncomfortable that she decided to quit her job.   Am I?

 

     Just want to change my life little more...

    Yesterday, I received the email from Open Performance Certer of England.  They told me the good news that they accepted me to as a trainee there.  I had applied to this position during the new year at home and wish that I can get it some how.  But yesterday when I got the permission, I felt uncomfortable for the change.

     I told to many many friends, anyone I can see on line and talk about the project and my thought.  I also phoned my parents and it's the first time I asked them advise serioursly.  They seemed not so surpport me in this case thought they gave me the chance to decide myself.  Hard decide, right?  I told that going outside is my dream, but when the opportunity happen before me, I choose to give up.  What hell am I? I donno...maybe the unexcepted change scare me, or maybe sth here I can't give up..anyway, I think my life is going better and better and I do believe some day I can get to my dream..

 

ps:have problem to go to my chinese blog...long time not writing..sigh~~

    have lots of pics to show and travel logs...just wait the damn blog to open to mainland ...

      I have a dream, since my high school time.  However, several years passed, I still here.  Trying to head for it, but it becomes more and more difficult.  Everytime I compromise and everytime I said to myself what I choose now is better than my dream.

 

      I am satisfied.  now I have a job which can give me millions opportunities to get well with the powerful people in China and give me the chance to lead a team and to become more and more professonal in one special area.  I have a good family which support me in everywhere.  I have a good dear who always be there with me.  But I still can't forget my dream...

 

     just want to get away the presure for living in China...can my dream come true?

      Smiley is Ken's nick name.  It's 4 Years ago that I first met him.  At that time I was in Miss Becky's class.  It's my first class taught by foreign teacher and I was so excited.  Miss Becky introduced her family and Smiley came in and gave her a surprise.  From then on I became friends of them two.

 

      They are very kind.  In the christmas Eve 2003, we together held a party with all the students in the class.  And at that time we started our sunshine project which help the deaf students in Gaochun school to better education.   I was moved by what they have done.  And I know that nothing is impossible and not only money can help people.  I am so happy that I can become one of the leaders in this project and can contribute to it.

 

     Smiley and I had an Monday appointment.  Every monday we met in one classroom and eat together.  We talked about everything and Smiley can give me some advise when I have some confuse.  It's good to have a person like him to talk with me as I am very talkless at my real home.

 

    Today is his birthday.  Wish him healthy and happy~~

The SUNSHINE Project:

Purpose: To bring SUNSHINE (light, warmth, happiness, hope and love) into the lives of poor deaf Chinese students by sharing our friendship, love and resources to help them gain education and training to become positive, happy, contributing members of society.

How we bring SUNSHINE to students of the Gao Chun Long Xiao School:

1. Provide money to pay the tuition and fees for poor students who can not afford to attend the school.

2. Purchase needed teaching equipment, such as scanners and printers for their computers, projectors to use in the classroom, etc.

3. NJU teachers and students will carry out a variety of fieldtrips and activities at the school with the children, sharing love, fun and friendship.

Two of the oldest and most accomplished deaf students at Gao Chun Long Xiao School. They met our van and escorted and hosted us each time we came to their campus.

How the Project began:

NanJing University students who were members of Miss Becky’s 4-H Club, fall semester 2002, started the project at Christmas time in December, by collecting money at the Christmas party to help poor children get more education. Miss Becky invited some other American BYU teachers and NJU teachers to participate. With some very generous donations, we soon had over 8,000RMB.

Through the efforts of Hua Weina and Gao Fenghua, two NJU Teachers, the Gao Chun Long Xiao and Nie Shlui Pei Zhi Xue Xiao schools were identified as needing help and were close enough to NanJing to allow our students to visit and interact with the deaf students.

A visit was made to the school, by American and Chinese teachers, to find out their needs.

Becky Mitchell and JoAn Criddle, BYU English Teachers (2002-2003) on their first visit to Gao Chun Long Xiao.

Gao Chun Long Xiao is a very excellent school, with young dedicated teachers, fair facilities and positive environment. It’s a boarding school with children from pre-school to grade nine. All the students have hearing disabilities and are learning sign language. They are bright, happy children, who performed some dances for us. It’s wonderful for these students to attend this school where they have friends and can learn and be happy. It was sad, however, to learn that there are many other deaf children whose families do not have the money to pay the tuition and fees for them to attend. We also learned that they would really like to have more contact with the outside world – the children only go home two weekends a month.

Currently we are:

· Planning our first trip to the school with NJU students on Saturday, April 19th. We plan to tour the school, then take the youth on our bus for an trip to a nearby old Chinese town. We’ll have a picnic along the way, play games and have lots of fun.

· Inviting our friends and family members to contribute to the sponsorship of individual children who can not afford to attend the school. The cost for one year is about $175 or 1400RMB. We have already received commitments from Americans to pay for at least seven more children to attend the school.

· Purchasing a printer, scanner, opaque projector and screen to be used in their classes. Also getting some sign language books needed by one teacher.

· NJU teachers and students are organizing the project to continue after Miss Becky leaves NanJing at the end of this school year. She will continue to support the project from America.

Share a little SUNSHINE with others!

Hopefully i will keep on updating stories here.

 

比赛正式开始，还是跟之前一样，我负责守前场，后面的归庄少，但有时候自
己还是会抢球，所以失误了几个。但每一次庄少都没有怪我，反而跟我说不要
紧，然后跟我说应该怎么做，在我回的比较好的时候她会不吝啬地赞扬我，并
叫我就这样打，我们不怕她们，不过很可惜，第一场还是以13：15落败了。

换场地后进行了第二场较量。不知怎么回事，我和庄少两个人都频频失误，很
快的比分是4：9落后，那时真的很急，因为自己的几个前场球失误，使我失去
了信心。可是庄少还是很耐心地引导我，并不断地鼓励我。而我也学着从我打
球失误的角度向庄少提问，她也耐心地帮我解答。她让我放松，她让我不要怕
对手，她让我看到了信心，也就是这样，我们的分数一分一分地向上爬，并且
与对方咬得很紧。我感觉到了兴奋，可以说在参加了这么多次比赛以来，唯一
一次有这样兴奋的感觉。追到了12：14，对方第二发球，庄少跟我说好好接住
这一发，我们还有机会。当时真的觉得有蛮大压力的，记得之前混双的时候，
也是这样最后一发，但我接失了，真的很难过。但我跟自己说，我是可以的，
我有责任接好这一球。集中精神，用力一击，甚至再击，没想到自己不仅接到
了这球，还获得了发球权。太开心了，太激动了，这时我理解了为什么有些人
打球会放声大喊，原来真的会是这么有快感。不过很可惜在13：14的时候自己
网前一个吊球落网，我们的发球权给回了对手。最后又是以13：15输了。

虽然这场比赛输了，可是真的从中学到了许多。之前的我会觉得自己技术不过
关，赢也是庄少的功劳。但是现在我会觉得配合是很重要的，而且我和庄少的
配合在实力上并不会输给对方多少，只是运气上差了点。当然，庄少的功劳是
不可没的。

通过这次比赛，我也看到了自己的弱点：1、接反手远点球，怎样才能让接过去

的球落点比较好，而且让自己有比较多的反应时间；2、网前球，很喜欢把网前

球重推对方远点，而不懂得放网；3、意识，这个真的很重要，其实有好几个球

明明让对方处于被动但却没有意识把对方回的质量不高的球打死，反而让自己陷

于被动etc。。嗯嗯，大家看到啦，之后的练习多多锻炼我这些方面吧。^_^

 

最后，我想衷心地对庄少说声感谢“谢谢你，庄少！你是我有生以来最好的一个
搭档～～”

此后，世上又多了一个粉丝，哈哈～～～

      昨晚是第二天的比赛，也是赛后很想哭的一次。虽然知道混双怎么也不太可能闯到四强的，不过昨晚实在也是输得太难看了。真的很不甘心，不过也是自己的技术不过关，被人看出了弱点，5555

      不知为何，上场后一点兴奋点都没有，不知是否是太过紧张呢。其实对手也不是太强，而且之前凭对方失误还领先了很多分，可是就在换场之后，自己不会接后场发球的弱点被对方发现了，连续失误了5个。其实很早就知道自己这个弱项，可是直到现在还是没有能够调整好。昨晚尝试着回忆师傅之前跟我说的技巧，说回不到后场就调前场，打出角度，可是试了两个还是被封死，真的不知该怎么办？当时真的很想身边有个鼓励的声音。。可是没有，分数被一分一分地追上，哒哒也开始失误，最后，在19：13领先的情况下还是输了。。。强忍住眼泪，告诉自己不要哭，告诉自己要振作，要从失败中看出希望，要从失败中吸取教训，更加地在弱项上锻炼自己。。。learning from lose是好事来的，只是对不起哒哒了，搭了一个菜菜的我。。

     女双要加油了，希望不要再成为人家的负担。。。

收到联合利华的短信了，简短的几句话。。没有什么特别的感觉，不过说没有失落是假的，不然不会一天check了n次邮箱。其实真的很想知道他们筛选的标准是怎样的，这么多的简历，怎样从中挑出所爱？现在这样也好，安下心来，不过心挂挂，最讨厌连拒信都不发的企业了。。

可惜我寄了快递，唉唉唉～～～
