"That kind of dizziness is like going out to sea by boat."
Recalling the situation on the day of the earthquake, Wang Huanni still has a lingering fear. She said that the earthquake experience was really a "close call" process. When the earthquake occurred on the afternoon of May 12, Wang Huanni, who had no class task, was shopping with her colleagues in the center of Mianyang. As soon as they entered the mall, they felt the mall shaking. The feeling of dizziness is like going out to sea by boat, and people keep shaking with the hull. At the same time, someone in the mall shouted, "Run, it's an earthquake!" " "Suddenly people rushed to the exit of the mall in panic. In the panic, some people's shoes were squeezed out, some people fell down without care, and even rolled and crawled away. Wang Huanni said that at that moment, there was only one thought in her heart: "Try to escape, but you can't die anyway. "
After leaving the mall, everyone ran to the empty street center. The earthquake felt strong, and the traffic lights and billboards on the street could be seen shaking, and there was a "rumbling" sound all around. The buildings around the street seem to be "dancing", and the swaying buildings seem to be about to collapse. At one time, the smoke rolled and lasted for about 30 seconds. Facing the sudden earthquake, people are very nervous and afraid. Wang Huanni told reporters: "Because I don't know how long the earthquake will last, the short 30 seconds at that time also made people feel that the time was very long."
It was not until about 30 minutes later that there was no movement on the ground that Wang Huanni and her colleagues followed the crowd to the central square of the railway station. It was around 3 pm on May 12, and many people had gathered in the square. Frequent aftershocks are still strong and people are very sensitive. Every time the earth shakes, people in the square will immediately stand up collectively, couples will hug together, and family and friends will hold hands and encourage each other. Due to the interruption of communication, the phone can't get through and the message is blocked. At that time, Wang Huanni was as anxious and at a loss as the people at the scene. Soon after, the radio of Square Railway Station reported the earthquake situation in some cities in Sichuan, and some sober people began to buy water and food.
12 At about 7: 00 pm on May 7, the sky gradually darkened, and after discussing with her colleagues, Wang Huanni decided to return to Southwest University of Science and Technology by bus. The bus is very crowded. Considering that it may be dangerous to stay in the car, and the Mianjiang highway leading to Southwest University of Science and Technology is relatively spacious, even if the earthquake comes again, they are not afraid, so they only walk half the way and get off and walk. Taxi drivers passing by will stop whenever they see pedestrians and ask if they want a ride. Carried by a kind taxi driver, they returned to school around 8 pm on May 12. Afterwards, Wang Huanni said, "I especially admire the bus and taxi drivers in Mianyang. They have been operating since the earthquake. "
"I didn't sleep all night."
On the way back to school, none of the houses that Wang Huanni passed were intact. Fortunately, after the earthquake, most of the teachers and students in the school escaped safely, and only two students were killed (1 jumped to escape and died, 1 was hit by a collapsed object). After returning to school, Wang Huanni immediately threw herself into self-help after the disaster.
According to Wang Huanni, from the early morning of May 13, it began to rain lightly in Mianyang, and it turned into a downpour at night. The sun did not shine until noon on May 14. During the period of aftershocks, teachers and students who escaped from school buildings and teaching buildings were afraid to stay in the building. The school arranges students in playgrounds and open spaces according to their grades. After a long period of tension and panic, by the evening of 13, most teachers and students had gradually accepted the fact that the earthquake had happened, and some teachers and students also paid for ponchos and set up simple tents. Everyone was awake all night, always on the alert for the earthquake to happen again.
Since the earthquake, the school's logistics department has provided food for more than 20 thousand students free of charge. Chefs in the canteen work all night, some set up cauldrons at the entrance of the canteen to cook noodles for students, and some wear helmets to go in and out of the kitchen to prepare food for students. Wang Huanni said: "Although the food is simple, everyone can understand it."
The temperature in Mianyang at night is only a dozen degrees. When the students escaped, they didn't have time to bring anything to keep out the cold. Most of them are wearing shorts, and some of them are shirtless. When the number of aftershocks is not so frequent and the ground tends to be stable, the school organizes some student representatives to go back to the dormitory to get quilts and clothes. Before entering the dormitory, the teacher told the students that they must think clearly about what to take and where to put it in advance. Under the guidance and supervision of the class teacher and counselor, the time for student representatives to enter the dormitory to get clothes shall not exceed 5 minutes.
"It's like a change in life."
Affected by the earthquake, the school was cut off from water and electricity, and the signal was interrupted. Students only rely on radios to learn about external information and earthquakes. I can't get through the phone in the province, but she can hardly contact other provinces. On May 13, Wang Huanni contacted her family in Nanning and reported her safety. Relatives and friends from all over the country also called to express their condolences. In order to avoid using too much electricity, she turns off her phone every time she answers the phone. Because she didn't know what would happen next, she thought to herself, "at least keep a tool to contact with the outside world." Life seems to have changed after the earthquake. Wang Huanni said, "At this moment, I especially want to be with my relatives." She said that she didn't care about anything other than her body, and she was lucky to survive. After dealing with school affairs, Wang Huanni will go back to Nanning.
