Question

“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（废墟）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，他们还没来得及跑出去，大楼就倒塌了。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（救援设备），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．
