On May 12, 2008, it was an extraordinary day when a mother used her delicate body to protect her child to the death, and left a message of encouragement for her beloved child in the last moments of her life.

But regrettably, when rescuers found the mother at the scene of the disaster, she had already become a stiff and cold corpse, and her body still maintained the strange movement before death, only to see her kneeling on the ground, her upper body crawling, and her two hands trying to support her body. It turned out that this contradictory posture was to protect the 3-month-old child under her.

What shocked the rescuers present was that this young doll, under the protection of the mother's life, was unharmed, and the child was found with the mother's mobile phone, which left the great mother's last words in the mobile phone, and the short words were written with encouragement to the child, leaving her without half a word of regret.

This made the people present wet their eyes, and everyone was choked up by the words of this scene. The warmest and most powerful force in the world comes from the love of mothers.

More than 4,000 years ago, in China's Qinghai Province, there was also such a devastating earthquake, at that time without warning, suddenly there was a deafening sound, the heavens and the earth changed color in an instant, followed by a landslide crack house collapse.

There were many people who had not yet reacted to being taken away, and the living were crying and shouting helplessly, and all the noisy sounds were mixed together, as if it were the end of the world. In the end, after the thrill, only the dust was left.

In 1999, someone accidentally discovered the remnants of the earthquake in the wrong place, and quickly reported it to the superiors, which immediately attracted the attention of the Chinese archaeological community. A joint archaeological team was quickly formed and went to the site for excavations.
