12 years old little girl broke off her arm to save her classmates in the earthquake

My dear friends,

http://solar-in-china.blogspot.com/ is my blog for China's solar energy industry, and I did not plan to talk about other issues here. But since the 8.0 magnitude earthquake hit Wenchuan China, all Chinese people have been following the rescue operation progress, and hundreds of thousand people went to join the rescue and disaster relief operation, the whole nation is moved by lots of heart-broken stories, and I would like to share such stories here with you.

Chinese governemnt agencies, companies, and individuals are donating to help the victims, but 11,367,929 people have to leave their home and stay in the temporary living areas, the death toll is 55,740, and 292,481 people are injured, and 24,960 people are missing by May 23rd 12 am. Especially many children lost their parents, and many senior citizens lost their sons and daughters. These victims need our help, and I hope you may forward the earthquake information to your friends, and I hope you may pray for them, and help them in anyway if possible.

Now I would like to tell you a story about the earthquake.

Lexiao Bai is a 12 years old girl, and in the earthquake when she tried to run out of their classroom, her arm was clamped by the door of their classroom. In order to let her classmates behind her get out of the classroom, she pulled her arm to get her arm broken off. Her classmates are saved, but she lost a arm forever.
