In 2013, an earthquake happened on Lushan that left more than 200 people dead and destroyed(摧毁) the local economy.

“Saving my sister wasn’t a heroic act. Anyone would have done it,” said Zhou Zigeng, a student at Luyang School in Lushan. The 11-year-old boy was recalling the morning of April 20, 2013, when he used his bare hands to dig his 2-year-old sister out of the rubble. He said he didn’t notice the pain from his bleeding fingers until his sister was being saved.

Zhang Yichuan, a 24-year-old nurse at the Baosheng township clinic(诊所) in Lushan, was not so lucky. She lost her mother in the disaster.

“The memory is still fresh. Immediately after the earthquake, I received a call from my father asking me to come home. I saw my mother lying at the roadside near our collapsed home. She looked as if she were asleep,” said Zhang, who was nursing others at the time.

She forced(强迫) herself to control her emotions and then she returned to the clinic in Baosheng quickly, where hundreds of injured people were waiting for emergency treatment.

Although the local government called her the most beautiful nurse and a model woman, Zhang didn’t feel that her actions made her special. She said, “I just did my duty.”
