In late autumn, the Weiming Lake of Peking University is full of colors. Lang Zheng, a sophomore at the School of International Relations, walked to the classroom, a young man with a height of 1.85 meters who was confident and sunny, and it was difficult to connect him with the helpless children buried under the rubble in the earthquake.

On May 13, 2008, in the rubble of the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, 3-year-old Xiao Langzheng saluted PLA soldiers after being rescued. Xinhua News Agency (photo by Yang Weihua) This young child is Lang Zheng, who was only 3 years old that year. The Young Pioneers salute is his imitation of the movements of his brothers and sisters to express his gratitude to the PLA uncle who rescued him. Buried in the rubble for nearly 20 hours, the earthquake nearly took out his left arm. With all his efforts, his left arm was saved, but the tip of the little finger of his left hand was amputated, leaving scars on his ring finger and shoulder. The injuries on his body are getting better day by day, but the unspeakable psychological trauma accompanies him through long nights one after another. For a long time, he was afraid of the darkness after dark, he did not dare to close the door when going to the toilet, and the sudden change in the weather would make him very nervous. When he first started school, the word "earthquake" would be brought to tears when the teacher said it...... Shadows need love and time to heal, and courage to overcome. With the help of his family and teachers, Lang Zheng, who grew up day by day, began to consciously train himself to overcome his fears. Yang Weihua, who took pictures of the "salute doll" back then, has always been concerned about Lang Zheng's growth. In 2013, Yang Weihua was diagnosed with liver cancer, and even after the liver was replaced, he still insisted on working until the last moment. This tenacious willpower gave Lang Zheng great shock and encouragement. The teacher said that Lang Zheng has a sunny personality, has been a hard-working child since he was a child, and has a tenacity that will not give up until he solves the problem. He has developed good habits since elementary school: preview before class, review after class, and take the initiative to make weekly and semester plans...... Countless nights in the dead of night, he sat at his desk and studied hard, and his sweat turned into excellent grades and awards...... The road to learning is not always easy. When he was in junior high school, Lang Zheng encountered difficulties in mathematics and laughed at himself as a "scumbag". The head teacher talked to him many times and encouraged him. "I told myself that if I had survived the disaster, I would have been able to overcome the difficulties." With the help of his teachers, he slowly found his sense of learning mathematics.

In July 2023, Lang Zheng took a photo at his high school alma mater with the admission notice from Peking University in hand. In July 2023, Lang Zheng achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination and was admitted to the School of International Studies of Peking University. He deliberately brought the admission letter to pay tribute to Yang Weihua and bowed deeply at his tomb. Many years have passed, and he has not forgotten Uncle Yang who still encouraged him in the last days of his life. "On the way to study, I, like thousands of students, have experienced countless nights of hard study, and I have also fallen into self-doubt under great pressure. But life is all about constantly overcoming yourself and daring to face one problem after another. I always remember Uncle Yang's advice to give back to society when I grow up. Lang Zheng said. The "salute doll", which has grown up, with the courage to be reborn from the ruins and the love of life, is full of confidence, hard work, and solid steps.
