Mother, Please Put On My Shoes

"Mother, watch out for the crushed stones at your feet. The shoes are big. Don't twist your feet."

At 16 o'clock yesterday afternoon, in the town of Xuan Kou, Wenchuan County, the reporter met a couple who had just evacuated from Yingxiu town. They were crossing the rocky piled beach to go to the wharf boat terminal in Xuan Kou Town.

The 85 year old mother, Yang Xiuzhi, has been trapped in Yingxiu town for 7 days. She is wearing a pair of men's shoes that are not in tune with the whole body. The son behind her is walking barefoot, and a big hole has been worn out on the bottom of the stockings, revealing blood bubbles.

Remembering the earthquake in May 12th, the old man still had a lingering fear.

At noon on the 12 day, as usual, Yang Xiuzhi picked up his back and went home to cut grass in his field.

At 14:28, Yang Xiuzhi suddenly felt dizzy, and began to think she was sick. But after several severe jitters, she was able to respond. - it turned out to be a major earthquake.

"I fell on the ground, I don't know where to run, I don't know how my granddaughter is, I'm scared."

Nearly 15 points, several strong jitter, Yang Xiuzhi found that the home is no longer "home".

The scattered tiles and bricks filled the eyes, and the houses were completely collapsed.

3 hours later, I heard the cry of the little granddaughter hoarse in the ruins. The 85 year old old man and his fellow townsfolk dug up the ruins of their wounded granddaughter. But most of their relatives in this town left the world in this havoc.

5 days and 5 nights, after learning of the news that old mother and daughter survived but still trapped in Yingxiu, Lao Wang, a son who worked in Dujiangyan, was in a hurry and rushed to Yingxiu town.

"I told myself countless times, mom, don't be afraid, I'm coming."

On the second day, with food and water on his back, the 50 year old man rushed into Yingxiu town with his brilliant search team.

In late May 19th, when he saw his old mother's injured hands, Lao Wang couldn't help crying.

The mother and daughter must be sent down the mountain, leaving him with the simplest idea.

At noon on the second day, Lao Wang took the food and water from the army officers and soldiers, helped the old man and his daughter prepare to walk for more than ten kilometers, and rushed to the wharf Town Wharf.

Lao Wang told reporters that when he came out of the mountain, the old mother fell on the stone and fell in. He hurriedly held his mother and daughter.

But the mother's shoes fell into the cliff.

No shoes, how to walk on the rocky mountain road.

It's too dangerous to walk on a narrow mountain with your mother on your back.

Lao Wang was silent for a moment. He squatted down and took off his shoes. "Mom, put on my shoes, and I'll tie your shoelaces."

"You melon melon son, do not have such a heavy thing on your back and walk along the mountain road, your feet are not made of cowhide."

Yang Xiuzhi was in tears.

At this time Lao Wang began to be anxious because the debris flow could bury the 5 men fleeing at any time.

"Mom, if you don't wear it again, I'll jump down from here."

Lao Wang could not talk about it. He put his shoes on Yang Xiuzhi's feet and helped each other to escape from the mountain.

More than 10 Li Shan Road, gravel along the way, broken windows and windows...

Lao Wang's feet were lined with many wounds, but every step meant a little closer to hope for Lao Wang.

At about 16 o'clock yesterday afternoon, 7 days after the great earthquake, 85 Yang Xiuzhi and his 5 men arrived at the assault boat pier. They will be sent to Dujiangyan properly by the officers and men of the army.

Lao Wang took off his bloody socks and put on a pair of brand-new relief shoes. At last, he breathed a sigh of relief.
