KX's reports on earthquake 20080521 Our Children in the earthquake

On today's Media Spin we pay our respects to the brave children in the quake-affected areas.
今天我们来关注在于勇敢的孩子们.
The Oriental Morning Post reports that 77 hours after the quake a rescue team found two teenagers, a 17-year-old boy and girl. Although they were in critical condition, the most seriously injured of the two asked the rescuers to first save the girl and the girl told them to save the young boy first. Four hours later, the young man was finally pulled from the rubble. He said, "Uncle, give me a coca-cola. A cold one?" The on-site rescuers burst into laughter because of his sense of humor.
东方早报报导灾后77小时,当救灾队伍发现两名生还的十七八岁青年时.尽管面对着随时丧命的危机,两人都要求先救对方.经过四个小时,当受伤较重的少年被抢救出来时,他开口说到:"叔叔,帮我拿支可乐.要冰冻的." 现场的救援人员都被这句话逗乐了.
The Zhongshan News reports that a 16-year-old girl held her classmate's hand under the debris, as her friend's hand turned cold. When she regained consciousness in the darkness, she heard another classmate call out, "Senior One (7), we will be saved. We must make it." Another called out, "After we are saved, we must study hard." Then, they started singing pop songs together. The girl clearly remembers one of the songs they sang: "Happiness and joy are the end."
中山网报道一位16岁女孩在黑暗中抓着同学的手,可是后来同学的手变凉了.当她苏醒时,她听到有人喊:"高一七班的,我们要出去,要挺住."还有的人喊:"我们出去了一定要好好学习."之后,他们开始一起唱流行歌曲.女孩清晰地记得,童话里的一句"幸福和快乐是结局".
Sichuan TV aired an interview with a 9-year-old boy named Lin Hao. Lin and his sisters walked 7 hours from Yingxiu to Dujiangyan. After the earthquake, Lin Hao carried two classmates from his collapsed school. He recalled that along the corridor, he was forced to his knees by the weight of his classmates. After crawling out, he found that they had fainted. He returned to the building to rescue his classmates one by one. Lin has so far been unable to locate his parents.
