“My son had always considered me a hero，” Li Guolin，a policeman，told Wuhan Evening News，“I am rather proud of that．”

True to his son's expectations，Li has become a savior（救星）for students，teachers and the earthquake victims at Beichuan Middle School．Li's 15-year-old son was trapped together with other schoolmates under the rubble（廢墟）of the fallen-down school building after Monday's quake．“I asked the rescuers（救援者）to start from the ones who were easier to be saved than my son，” the 43-year-old Li said，holding back his tears．His call saved many lives，but his own son did not survive．

Beichuan County is one of the hardest-hit areas in the deadly quake that struck Sichuan Province．Li said he was at a meeting in his office when the quake struck on Monday．Together with seven others，Li started leaving the building．可是，他們還沒來得及跑出去，大樓就倒塌了。Thanks to his survival training he learned when he was a soldier，Li protected his head and hid in the corner of a toilet．He managed to escape with only slight injuries in his head，hands and ears．Then he began to look for people who were still living，he found only three people，heavily injured．Their three-story office building was completely destroyed．At the same time his son，Liwang Ziguo，was still at school．When he finally reached his son's school，he first saw students crying on the playground．

“Liwang Ziguo! Where are you?” the father cried out．

“Dad! I am here，come and help me!” the boy answered．

At last Li found out his son's position among the broken pieces．but without rescue equipments（救援設(shè)備），Li and other rescuers could only dig at the rubble with their bare hands（徒手）．Li's son lay more than lo meters deep under the rubble．At that moment，there was still hope of saving the boy's life if Li started digging．But Li had to give it up because there were some others lying under the rubble and they were much easier to reach．Liwang Ziguo's cries for help disappeared as soon came near on Tuesday．When the boy was finally dug out early Wednesday morning，he had already stopped breathing．But his heroic father had rescued more than 30 people．

This is a true story in Guyana. One day, a child took some silver paper from a cigarette box. He rolled it into a tiny ball and pushed it up his nose. He couldn’t get it out again. He ran crying to his mother. His mother couldn’t get the paper out, either. A week later the paper was still in his nose. His nose began to have a bad smell.

So his mother took his child to the hospital. The doctor looked up his nose. She put a tiny steel rod（鋼棒） into his nose and felt the paper. She said she would have to cut his nose to get the paper out.

The child’s mother came home looking sad. She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut. He was a handsome boy and the cut would make him ugly.

Next day, the child’s mother took him to her friend Sidney. Sidney lived in a house with an old woman called May. She asked to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose. He closed his eyes.

“Yes, I can see it,” May said. “It will be out soon!”

As she spoke, she shook black pepper on the child’s nose. He gave a mighty sneeze and the paper flew out. His mother was surprised. May told her to take the boy to the sea for a swim. She said the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.
