Ye Aiqun: If you don’t go to the disaster area, you will regret it in your life.
Peng Xiaofeng: The people’s play, how can they not repay their mother’s kindness?
Yu Jixun: Comrade, hang in there. We will never give up on you.
Wang Zhimin: No flying! How can I do it if I don’t know the road conditions?
Xu Yong: Everyone in the disaster area is my relative.
Zhang Southwest: In the disaster area, there are too many emotions that make people want to cry.
May 12, a day that made countless people cry. Landslides broke and it rained cats and dogs. Northwest Sichuan, which was originally quiet and beautiful, added many scars.
At the most critical moment, the first to rush to the disaster area is a piece of olive green. Among the patches of green, people noticed that there was also a touching white. This white comes from some people with silver hair and "stars" on their shoulders. On the rubble-strewn ruins and on the rocky cliffs, we can see their hurried figures.
After many battles, they are well-known generals. Can face the pain of the disaster area, see the strength and courage of the masses and subordinates, they, these tough guys can not help but shed emotional tears again and again.
