Three Miracle Stories from Recent China Earthquake

A very strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 hit Sichuan on Monday. Millions of people lost their home. The earthquake also collapsed buildings and killed many people. Chinese mass media reports that officials fear that many people are still, trapped in the rubble. There were some brave survivors who made the three miracle stories.

The first miracle survivor called Jiao spent her twentith birthday in the rubble. This is a miracle because she stayed in the debris in Dujianyang for four full days. She told the rescuers that she would never forget the experience, and she thanked the rescuers for rescuing her.

The second miracle happened on a 16-year-old school girl, Li Anning. She and some other school girls sang songs while they were trapped in the rubble in Beichuan. The last sentence of one the songs she sang was '' Blessing and happiness is the ending''. Surely the message gave courage to herself and the other school girls.

The third miracle happened to a 5-year-old girl called Li Chunchun, who had not seen her parents since the earthquake.

These are surely brave stories of the miracle survivors. There are still many more touching stories to be discovered.
