Many stories are surfacing now regarding the Sichuan earthquake disaster. One that deeply moved us is of a mother and an infant. By the time rescuers reached them, they had found the mother knelled and managed to stay hunched over. The rescuers knew she had passed away but thought her pose curious. They checked her and found her holding a baby sleeping. They later found a cell phone wrapped with the baby and the mother had typed a message, "baby, if you are able to stay alive, you must remember I love you."

Jackie will sing another song with various artists to raise fund.
He will rebuild some schools destroyed in the earthquake.
We were in tears reading about this story and looking at the anchor breaking down (even though we don't fully understand all that Chinese) made us realize the amount of suffering this quake has wrought.
I would like to share more sroties

This girl teacher is only 20. In the school in Shifang where she worked, she ran time after time into the 3-story teaching building to save the best she could. While at the last time she got buried forever. 13 students were saved by her.

Wang is a young teacher, who takes charge of 50 students. When the tremor occurred, he led the students to escape from 2 ways, the front and back door separately. Exactly at the time of the house crumbling to dust, he rushed to a girl and pushed her away, hit dead by a crossbeam on the head himself.
----------
At the same school, another teacher protected 3 girls with her own body.
In Deyang, Hanwan town, a middle school, a rescue crew described what he saw on the relic:
When we found him (a teacher), he stretched his arms, lying on the desk, with 4 students protected under his body. They are all alive, except the teacher.
