Gan Yu and Luo Yong are the workers of a hydro power station(水电站). When a 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Luding County in Sichuan Province on September 5, they chose to stay and save people’s lives.

They climbed up to the dam(水坝) and opened two floodgates to let the rising water out. It saved the lives of hundreds of villagers. Then Gan and Luo realized the generator(发电机) was still on. It was a huge risk, so they rushed to turn off the station that day without eating any food.

The next day, they moved out together to save themselves. Gan is nearsighted. Unluckily, he lost his glasses and got too weak to walk on. He asked Luo to leave first and he would stay where he was and wait for help.

Before parting from Gan, Luo found some dry leaves to help Gan stay warm. He also left some wild fruits, bamboo shoots and other food. Luo was rescued(营救) on September8, but Gan was no longer at the place when a rescue team arrived.

On September21, Gan was finally found by a local farmer named Ni Taigao. Ni’s village is at the foot of the mountain. After knowing that the people were looking for Gan, he joined the search. He set out for the mountain early that day. Two hours later, he heard Gan’s weak cries for help. He soon found him lying on the ground. Later that day, other rescuers arrived and took Gan to the hospital.

The whole rescue has been called a “miracle(奇迹) of life”. Luo Yong, Gan Yu and Ni Taigao are all heroes.
