This natural disaster that occurred on May 12, 2008 has become the common memory of the Chinese nation.<br \/>\nThirteen years have passed since the Wenchuan Earthquake has brought individual and historical changes, which have not been completely far away.<br \/>\nWhat happened to the disaster-stricken people and soldiers who faced the life-or-death decision during the earthquake recorded by those footages?<br \/>\n<strong>Lin Hao, sub-squad leader of the Wenchuan earthquake<\/strong><br \/>\nLin Hao was studying in the second grade of Yuzixi Primary School in Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan County. When the Wenchuan earthquake occurred, he was not buried deep, so it took him two hours to crawl out by himself. Then he turned around, removed the movable concrete steel bars, and rescued two classmates.<br \/>\nIn June of that year, he was awarded the title of &#8220;Heroic Teenager in Earthquake Relief&#8221; for saving his classmates. At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Lin Hao and Yao Ming served as the standard bearers of the Chinese delegation.<br \/>\nAfter the earthquake, Lin Hao participated in the filming of film and television dramas such as &#8220;My Special One Camp&#8221;. At the end of 2020, when Lin Hao was interviewed by the media, he was studying at the Shanghai Publishing and Printing College. At the university, he was still the monitor. Zeng was not admitted to Zhongxi, Nanyi and Shangxi because he was not tall enough to be 1.7 meters tall, but he still looks forward to filming.

After she was discharged from the hospital, she could already write a good hand on the paper.<br \/>\nAfter the earthquake, Zhu Jiaqing of Yangzhou, Jiangsu has been funding Li Xinyu&#8217;s living expenses on a monthly basis until now.

When the earthquake occurred, he left the students in class and was the first to escape from the classroom. Although the students at his Guangya School were unscathed, he was still dubbed by the public a rather insulting nickname-&#8220;Fan Paopao.&#8221;<br \/>\nWhat people don\u2019t understand is that Fan Meizhong did not have any regrets and self-blame afterwards. \u201cAt this moment of life and death decision, only for the sake of my daughter can I consider sacrificing myself. Other people, even my mother, under this circumstance. I won\u2019t care. Because I can\u2019t hold an adult, I can\u2019t escape one by one.&#8221;<br \/>\nIn 2015, Fan Meizhong gave up his teaching position at Guangya School and returned to his family. The latest news about him also stayed in 2018, describing him as &#8220;a challenger to the social moral order covered in spines&#8221;, ten years later he became &#8220;a family who was polished to be round and smooth and could hold a spatula to cook in the kitchen. male&#8221;.<br \/>\nHe buys vegetables and cooks every day, and educates his son and daughter. Taking advantage of the gap in life, he will stay at the corner of the desk at home and study Chinese classical literature and philosophy. &#8220;Under the east fence of picking chrysanthemum, you can see Nanshan leisurely.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>Wenchuan Earthquake Airborne &#8220;15 Warriors&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the Wenchuan earthquake, there was also a special group known to the public-an advance squad consisting of 15 airborne troops.<br \/>\nAfter the earthquake occurred, Maoxian, located in the epicenter zone, was interrupted for a long time in communication and transportation with the outside world, becoming an &#8220;island&#8221;, and the situation in the earthquake area cannot be understood by outsiders.<br \/>\nOn the morning of May 14, Li Zhenbo, then director of the Airborne Forces Research Institute, led a detachment, carrying communications, guidance, and reconnaissance equipment, and jumped from an altitude of 4999 meters in two batches. There was no weather data and no ground. Under the conditions of the \u201cthree nos\u201d with signs and no command and guidance, they \u201cblindly jumped\u201d to the Maoxian area. At this time, 46 hours have passed since the earthquake occurred. These 15 people were the first investigators and rescuers to enter the earthquake area.<br \/>\nToday, many of the &#8220;15 Warriors&#8221; have retired from the military, some have become civilian police, some have become grassroots cadres, and some have become long-distance bus drivers.<br \/>\nLi Yajun changed his fate because of this parachuting. After being reported by the media, a female college student who was volunteering in the disaster area found his phone. The two often sent text messages, and then they got together.<br \/>\nOn September 17, 2020, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese paratroopers, these 15 former paratroopers gathered again and took a group photo taken 12 years later.<br \/>\nThere are still many impressive faces in the Wenchuan earthquake. The &#8220;Salute Boy&#8221; Lang Zheng who was rescued is now in middle school.<br \/>\nQiao Lianzhen, an 8-year-old boy who lost his parents in the earthquake, was funded by a kind person in Guangxi and moved to Liuzhou, Guangxi. In 2020, he will officially join the army.<br \/>\nIn 13 years<br \/>\nAlthough the protagonist in the news has stayed away from the spotlight<br \/>\nTheir lives are still moving forward<br \/>\nTime is the best healer<br \/>\n13 years have passed<br \/>\nNo matter how much disaster you have experienced or how bad your reputation is<br \/>\nIn the end, time will be drawn into the logic of life itself<br \/>\nAll this is diluted by life<br \/>\nFinally return to ordinary<\/p>\n<div class=\"37c28470d9d6d3cb9ff74e663adb766a\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3594734025006597\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 12, 2021 is the 13th anniversary of the Wenchuan earthquake.
