On May 13th, a friend texted me and asked me how Yingxiu was doing and what I had written. I didn't, because at that time I had just seen the news of the PLA officers and soldiers rushing into Yingxiu Town on TV, and I was crying silently. At this moment, tears are not a display of fragility, but a kind of sadness that everyone cannot control when facing a disaster. In these days, I have cried many times, whether sensitive or fragile, but facing the present In such a situation, who can make his tear glands as cold as those made of cement
Not only Yingxiu, but also Wenchuan, Beichuan, Mianyang, and the earthquake that shook the whole country the day before the CD finally revealed the truth of the disaster a few hours later. Countless people, including me, were enveloped in endless sadness. . I checked the news for two days in a row. I had no job and didn’t want to work. I was just worried and sad. The TV is on, the news channel is on, the computer is also on, and there is a 24-hour live broadcast from Sichuan Satellite TV.
I went to college in CD, and I spent my most difficult years in Yingxiu. In a sense, that town changed my life. Now looking at the small town that has already changed its appearance in the aerial photography and turned into a piece of ruins, I don't know what to do, what can I do, the feeling of powerlessness in the face of natural disasters is intertwined with the anger towards this thief God together.
However, the follow-up rescue, those fearless People's Liberation Army and rescuers, brought endless warmth to many people including me, I believe this will never be forgotten by the people in the disaster area.
I was also moved by the strength and self-confidence of the people in the disaster area. Looking at those people who spoke their native accents, they used a kind of optimism to dilute their despair, and a kind of calm to meet their sorrow. I was suddenly very proud of being a Sichuanese.
I think in the years to come, it will be difficult to forget the moving deeds that occurred during the earthquake, and it will be difficult for me to forget the girl who walked out of the ruins with a smile, and the boy lying on a stretcher behind her who wanted to drink frozen Coke. The woman in the ruins of Dujiangyan who speaks Mandarin and whose sunny smile cannot be covered by dust...
We can't forget those who have passed away, those who have lost loved ones, those who may remain in grief for the rest of their lives, how can we help them
This nation, the people of this land, have experienced too much suffering. And yet... what comes after the suffering? Whether it is on the forum or in the news these days, it seems that we can feel a different kind of power, that is unity, that is lofty, that is dedication, something that seems to be gradually forgotten by us in the past days words.
The earthquake scattered loess, gravel, and dust on the earth, buried countless people, and covered many fresh faces. However, blood and tears, like a trickle after a drought, are constantly washing and washing away, not only washing away the layer of sad ashes, but also washing away some of the dirt in our hearts.
Whether it is people who have experienced life and death in the disaster area, or people who have experienced countless emotional upheavals these days, many people's views on the world and life are quietly changing. This change is undoubtedly a memorial to the dead and comfort to the living. The best memorial.
Humans may not be able to defeat this thief, but human beings can defeat themselves.
This is the National Day of Remembrance, this is the day of strong action, for the dead souls, so that they are not alone, and for the living souls, so that we can walk more firmly, more fearlessly, and more purely in the years to come.

Talking about Yingxiu, the town has already changed its appearance, and the people I know may be alive or dead. I know the road there, the mountain there, the beautiful scene in the past, but now it has become the biggest obstacle to rescue, so many people's accusations are actually a kind of bastard under unknown circumstances, yes, it is a bastard.
Please allow me to pay my highest respect to all the people who participated in the rescue, especially the officers and soldiers of the armed police of the People's Liberation Army who rushed to the forefront.
Many people are safe, and many people have passed away. My college classmate and the boss in the dormitory are also in Yingxiu. I have not been able to contact him, but I firmly believe that he is fine. Come on.
Bless all people.
After the mood really calms down, I will seriously write something.
