"I've been sitting here for four days, gucci sale, I believe no one would abandon me, today the PLA really came to save me." When the soldiers left, the old grandmother held the soldiers' hands unwilling to let go, repeatedly saying: "Zaxidele, Zaxidele..."

"I survived luckily, I'm too young to save them from the ruins, I can only do my best to help those who survived, and together with the PLA uncles, save more people." At the square of the Yushu Ethnic Model School where the Guangdong Border Defense General Team is stationed, the soldiers set up a field hospital to treat the injured. Since Yushu is a Tibetan area, many of the injured cannot speak Chinese, causing difficulties in timely treatment. When the soldiers were troubled, 13-year-old Tibetan girl Cai Balaji from the Ethnic Model School voluntarily became the interpreter for the rescue personnel. "Take two of these, Louis Vuitton Replica, three times a day..." In the morning, Cai Balaji worked alongside the soldiers, striving to treat severely injured patients.

Lu Weixia is also Tibetan, "This name was specially chosen to commemorate the PLA saving my father." Lu Weixia said that since her grandparents were killed by warlords, her father became an orphan from a young age, fortunately being adopted by a PLA soldier from Hebei. "To commemorate his PLA adoptive father, my father gave me a Han name. Our family has very deep feelings for the PLA." Lu Weixia emotionally told the reporter.

In the morning, when the Guangdong Border Defense Medical Rescue Team was on patrol in the disaster area of Jiegu Town in Yushu, the nine-year-old boy Haigelang grabbed the soldiers' hands and ran, "Uncle, please go save my grandma quickly!" It turned out that his 76-year-old grandma Caidan Cuomo was injured in the earthquake, and for four days she hadn't been able to move. The soldiers immediately rushed to the scene to treat Grandma and applied a plaster cast to her leg.

When the earthquake occurred, the little girl Laji, just over two years old, was sleeping in her uncle's arms. Her uncle and grandma were buried under the collapsed house and unfortunately died. Fortunately, Laji was successfully rescued by the armed police officers, with only head and eye injuries from being hit by stones. Laji's mother, Lu Weixia, anxiously carried her daughter around looking for medical help, finally finding the Guangdong Border Defense Medical Team providing emergency care on-site.
