Remarkable person: survived being buried in two major earthquakes in Tangshan and Wenchuan

"I survived for 10 days after being buried in the Tangshan earthquake, and I didn't die. In this Wenchuan earthquake, I was buried again, but I still didn't die." On the 19th, a reporter met Ala坦 Bagen Taoqi, an elderly man of the Daur ethnic group who survived both catastrophic earthquakes, in Leigu Town, Beichuan County. During the Tangshan earthquake in 1976, he was trapped in a mine shaft for 10 days and survived; during this Wenchuan earthquake, he was once again buried under collapsed buildings but only suffered minor superficial injuries. He is also the only intact survivor rescued from the landslides in Leigu Town.
