There are a million possibilities in an instant, and these earthquake witnesses have made their own choices.
Cctv news(Reporter: Li Shanshan, Liu Wei, Zhang Ke, Meng Lizhen, Yu Xiaodan): "Inform the medical staff to get ready!"
At 6: 33 pm on June 18th, a professional medical helicopter landed on the tarmac near Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital. The 56-year-old Liu was lying on a stretcher and escorted off the plane by medical staff.
Because of his serious injury, he was transferred from Changning County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for further treatment. This is the most critical injured person admitted to Changning County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine within 20 hours after the earthquake.
At 22: 55 on June 17th, an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 occurred in Changning County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province. As of press time, the earthquake has caused 13 deaths and 211 injuries.
How many people, a sleepless night!
CCTV reporters contacted several witnesses of the earthquake — — They are the children’s mothers, grandmothers’ grandsons, teachers of students, and rescuers who braved the aftershocks to rush to the disaster area at the first time … … The early warning sounded, and the sky shook. At that moment, some of them rushed out with their infant children, while others overcame their fears and chose to stay.
"Grandma is lying in bed, always telling me to run by myself, and I am crying!"
Xiaoning, 25, was in Zhenxingyuan Community, Cuiping District, Yibin when the earthquake occurred.
Two days ago, I went home to visit my grandmother because she was not feeling well, but I didn’t expect to catch up with the earthquake. At that time, I was watching TV at home. At about 22:55, I suddenly felt a violent shake and the chandelier in the living room fell.
My heart thumped a panic, the earthquake!
At that time, my parents went to my grandmother’s house, and only my grandmother and I were at home. I quickly ran to the bedroom, planning to take grandma with me to escape.
Grandma is paralyzed in bed and weighs more than 130 Jin, while I only weigh 100 Jin. I tried to carry my grandmother twice, but it didn’t work. At that time, my legs were weak and my brain was almost blank. I was really desperate and afraid of dying like this.
I was still studying in Shenzhen when the 5.12 earthquake struck, which was the first time I experienced such a strong earthquake. Because of fear, I once had a selfish thought in my heart. I want to run by myself, but I can see my grandmother. I really can’t leave her alone. I have too much reluctance and unbearable feelings.
I was brought up by my grandmother, who loved me very much since I was a child. My position in my heart is higher than anyone else’s, even my parents are not as good as my grandmother’s position in my heart. Grandma’s life is my life!
I can’t bear to run by myself, so I simply won’t run. Grandma cried when she saw that I didn’t want to run! Yelling at me all the time: "Run".
In order to distract my grandmother, I thought of a way to sit on the bed and set up a dragon gate (chat) with my grandmother.

I told her that I made a girlfriend in Shenzhen and I will bring it back for the Spring Festival this year. Grandma almost forgot that there was an earthquake at that time when she heard the news. She asked me if it was true and why I hadn’t heard of it before, and said that she would bring it back to her for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
From the age of 21, every time I go home, my grandmother will ask me if I have a girlfriend. This matter has become a top priority in my grandmother’s heart, because she is afraid that she will not see me get married!
God bless, grandma and I are all right in the end. After the main earthquake, my neighbors came up to help and took my grandmother and me to the outdoor. Perhaps it is because of the 5.12 earthquake. Everyone didn’t panic too much.
My parents knew that there was an earthquake and came back from other places overnight, knowing that I didn’t run out the first time, and I was a little scared: "It’s one to run!"
I also know that the situation is critical, but if I really run away alone, how helpless my grandmother will be. I am even more afraid that my grandmother will leave like this. If I can’t say goodbye to my grandmother because of my cowardice, I think I will look down on myself in my life, let alone forgive myself.
"Children, go to sleep, I will watch over you."
Zhang Lingling, a math teacher in Grade Three, has been teaching for 5 years.
When the earthquake happened, I was at home, living on the 20 th floor, and the house shook violently. My husband grabbed me and ran to the toilet, and I was very scared.
After the house stopped shaking, I turned on my mobile phone and saw the notice from the school. I rushed to the school immediately. It’s a 10-minute walk, and there are many people standing outside along the way.
At school, more than 1000 children have been transferred from the dormitory to the playground. They are a little scared, because the oldest child was only two or three years old in the 2008 earthquake.
Not long after, it rained, and we retreated to the classroom. The teachers didn’t dare to sleep a wink all night.
Originally, the children were supposed to go back to the dormitory to rest in the morning, but around seven o’clock in the morning, the aftershocks were very strong. According to the emergency measures, the school arranged for all teachers and students to continue to rest in the classroom. The headmaster and all the male teachers, as well as the head teacher, are responsible for the inspection.
"I was in high school in the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. As a student, I was not afraid at that time. In the 2019 earthquake, I have been teaching for almost five years. As a teacher, I am really scared. Children, go to sleep, I will guard you, and everything will be fine! "
This is an Weibo I posted at school around 3 am, an unintentional record. I didn’t expect to get so many praises, but I am just an ordinary teacher!
I was in high school during the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, maybe I was young, and there were teachers, so I didn’t know I was afraid at that time. The teachers and students of the whole school slept in the playground together, which was still very fresh. Because of the earthquake, we also had a holiday.
This time, as a teacher, I suddenly felt particularly afraid of accidents, and the whole person was particularly nervous. I don’t know why, maybe this is the teacher.
Fortunately, at present, all the teachers and students in the school are well, and there are no casualties.
Maybe this Weibo will save my daughter’s life.
Jingjing, a nursing mother, was in Ruijingwan Community, Changning County, Yibin City during the earthquake.
My home is in Ruijingwan Community, Changning County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province, about 30 kilometers away from the epicenter.
At ten o’clock in the evening, I breast-fed my child as usual and prepared to rest, but the clock on the wall suddenly fell and the glass began to shake. After the main earthquake, my mother-in-law said to go out quickly. I held my daughter and my mother-in-law ran out with her sister’s three-year-old son on her back.
When I went downstairs, I saw other residents in the community going out one after another, and people who were busy getting dressed were scolded for "coming out quickly".
After hiding outside for a while, I was hesitating whether to go home or not when the aftershock came.
Some people say that there will be more aftershocks after 3 o’clock. Although it was later proved to be a rumor, who can be rational as a mother at this time?
We decided to continue to take refuge outside. At that time, I was scared, but I couldn’t cry. I was nursing my daughter and comforting my sister’s children.
Mother-in-law went back to get some children’s clothes, diapers and umbrellas. Less than 1 o’clock, it began to rain lightly. We walked outside the community, and it was very difficult, carrying clothes and holding children. The umbrella could only be covered by children.
I looked around and wanted to find a safe and sheltered place for my children. Next door to the exit of the community is the procuratorate. There is an open space in front, and the buildings next to it are not high and relatively safe. The guard uncle watched us holding the child, asked a young man inside to give me his seat, and temporarily set up a stool for her mother-in-law with a box.
At the entrance guard of five or six square meters, there were more than a dozen people sitting, which was crowded and sultry.
I made the worst plan and took out my mobile phone to edit Weibo. In case we are really buried, maybe this Weibo will save my daughter’s life.

From the time I ran out to Weibo, I didn’t cry, but after a while, I opened the message of Weibo, a netizen. Many strangers sincerely hoped that we would be safe, and tears welled up.
When we got home at 2: 30, we moved the marble dining table to the front of the sofa and hid under it in case of another aftershock.
I slept until 5 o’clock in a daze, and there was another aftershock. I quickly squatted on my daughter.
What the earthquake gave me was not the aftershock, but the fear that I could not protect my daughter. I am glad that my husband is on a business trip in other places to avoid disaster. In case something bad happens to me, the child and the father.
"The situation is so critical that he may die at any time."
Chen Kang,Captain of National Emergency Medical Rescue (Sichuan) Team
At 6: 33 pm on June 18th, 56-year-old Liu was transferred to Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital.
The patient was hit by a wall and was seriously injured in many parts of his body. After being sent to the hospital, he developed symptoms such as organ failure, internal bleeding, fracture and coma. The situation is so critical that he may die at any time.
The existing medical facilities and conditions of Changning County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine have been difficult to provide follow-up treatment services. After the evaluation of Changning County 6.17 earthquake medical and health rescue headquarters, it was finally decided to transfer to another hospital for treatment.
The hospital convened a team of experts from emergency trauma medicine, intensive care medicine, radiation intervention, orthopedics, thoracic surgery, nephrology and other related majors for consultation, and immediately performed interventional surgery and tried their best to rescue them. The operation started at 7: 50 pm on June 18th and lasted for 90 minutes. The patient’s vital signs were stable and he was transferred to ICU for observation and treatment.
Saving lives is the most important thing. Previously, I participated in many large-scale medical rescue operations including Jiuzhaigou earthquake. The most profound feeling this time is that the professional ability of medical rescue is getting stronger and stronger, and the emergency response time and rescue speed have been greatly improved.
For example, after the earthquake, west china hospital Telemedicine Center started the remote emergency plan as soon as possible, and adopted "dual track system" (dedicated line in the disaster area during the day and emergency consultation channel at night) and "two channels" (remote consultation platform and regional collaborative cloud conference system) to provide 24-hour free dedicated line remote consultation service for the earthquake-stricken areas, striving for the best emergency time for the wounded.
From 3: 00 a.m. to 4: 00 p.m. on June 18, more than 80 people were injured by my hand, the youngest being a three-month-old baby and the oldest being over 90 years old. Thanks to more and more professional medical rescue, these injured people turned to safety.
Volunteers from Yibin City played games with their children in the earthquake zone to provide psychological comfort.
Although they are worried, they are glad that they are safe.
As of press time, the Sichuan Provincial Fire and Rescue Corps dispatched 10 detachments of earthquake rescue forces, totaling 116 fire engines, 526 commanders and 4 search and rescue dogs, to the scene to rescue 20 trapped people;
The National Health and Wellness Committee immediately coordinated and guided the Sichuan Provincial Health and Wellness Committee to organize emergency medical rescue work, and sent responsible comrades of the Health Emergency Office to lead a total of 9 people from the National Medical and Health Emergency Expert Group to the disaster area on the early 18th.
… …
Rescue continues after the earthquake.
At 0: 47 on the 18th, CCTV reporters saw the first video picture sent back from the rescue site in the "Yibin Earthquake Rescue" media WeChat group built by the Fire and Rescue Bureau of the Emergency Management Department, with a duration of 1 minute and 30 seconds.
The video shows that a young girl wearing a white shirt and denim shorts and barefoot was successfully rescued. Dozens of rescuers gathered around, flashlights, and warned to be careful. Among them, there are fire officers and soldiers and local people.
According to CCTV reporter’s verification, the girl’s name is Li Yuqin. She is 15 years old and has multiple soft tissue injuries all over her body.
Lying in the hospital bed, Yu Qin choked with gratitude: "Without them, I might really not be able to persist … … It is because of such a group of people in the motherland that we have a better future! "
The "group of people" she thanked are still struggling in the front line of earthquake relief.
