What would you do if you were buried under ruins for over 50 hours as well?

The question is hypothetical. In China, people are buried in rubble from earthquakes, explosions, and other disasters.

We can discuss what we would do if we were buried in the rubble.

Let's start with the facts.

First, save yourself. When you wake up, check for injuries. If you are injured, treat it yourself to prevent it from getting worse.

Then, find out where you are by listening or looking, and judge how far you are from the ground. See if you can move, and try to move as much as possible.

If you can, find a place to breathe. If you need water, urinate.

2. If you have a phone, don't panic. Dial 110. If you don't have a phone, knock on something to let rescuers know you're there.

3. Help each other with the people buried around you.

If you're in this situation, it's hard to stay calm. If you can be rescued or save yourself, it's up to fate.

Hello, question asker! I'm Enoch, your answerer. You know, the question asker was inspired to think about the recent building collapse incident in Changsha. They wanted to know how to maintain their rationality and will to survive and cope with such a crisis if they encountered such a situation.

In fact, there were specific reasons why this student was rescued, and they're pretty amazing!

1. The student had a calm personality, was clear-thinking, and had the perseverance to conserve her physical strength and use tools to make noise for help.

I was so inspired by the way the girl handled herself when she was interviewed. She was so calm and collected in the face of such a disaster and crisis. She wasn't at all panicked! She was very thorough in her consideration of the details. She planned how she would sustain her life every day by drinking water and conserving her strength. She also prepared instruments to make sounds for help in critical moments. And the best part is that she had full confidence in the rescue agencies. She believed that their professionalism could help save her!

2. The student may have learned a lot of survival skills for dealing with disasters before, which is really great!

And it's not just about staying calm in a crisis—it's also about having the right survival skills! I'm sure the student had learned some of these before and was able to put them to good use in that complex environment at that critical moment.

3. The environment in which the student was located was absolutely perfect for rescue efforts by the staff!

In today's news, I saw that 53 people were killed in the incident. But here's the good news: the location in the rubble where the student was may also have been more conducive to rescue by rescuers. So the student was really very lucky in this incident!

So, if you want to know how to stay calm, I've got some great tips for you! It's not just about your own psychological quality.

The first thing you can do to be prepared is to learn and accumulate some emergency survival skills and practice them! For example, if the parents of the child who recently died had learned the Heimlich maneuver, it might have come in handy at the critical moment.

And there's more! You should also learn CPR, firefighting skills, first aid in an elevator, and how to escape from a building.

Second, developing good habits and a sense of crisis awareness in peacetime is also very helpful in dealing with crises. Perhaps the student is usually very meticulous and is able to grab a kettle and hammer at a moment's notice when they notice a situation. They also tries to choose a location near a window, etc., which may have all played a role at the critical moment.

And the best part is, with all these survival skills you've built up in peacetime, you'll be calm as a cucumber in a crisis. And you'll have total confidence in the rescue workers. You'll be supported by a strong desire to survive and persevere. All that's left is to hope for your good luck!

Hello!

You're talking about the girl who was rescued after being trapped in a collapsed house for over 50 hours! Let's talk about this. Don't ignore what she needed to survive!

She was in a relatively safe triangular area. If you don't understand, you can search for the earthquake triangle. Triangles are the most stable.

Her phone had been charged for a long time and she had a bottle of water. She had what she needed to survive.

Next, let's talk about how we deal with sudden difficulties.

Learn to use all your resources wisely.

The girl was in a safe place with resources. There was hope.

The phone was still working. She could check the time and turn on the flashlight.

This is all the resources the girl had in that situation. She was lucky enough to wait for rescue.

Love for life, love for living, love for the world.

If I were in that situation, I'd want to go home, hug my mom, finish my studies, see my favorite idol, see my family, and have a good meal with my family.

I have to get out of here alive. I've written a record of my life for the past 100 days and planned to live in the present. Nothing can stop my love for life.

She hasn't been to many places. She's still young, with her whole life ahead of her!

I think she thought about her family, friends, studies, and dreams. She survived the 50+ hours of disconnection with a love for the world and a sensible use of resources.

❤️Knowing what's ahead and staying strong – staying calm, staying safe, and staying hopeful. This is key.

The Chinese government will always help Chinese citizens. If you are a Chinese national, the government will take you home on a special plane if you are in danger. There have also been many news reports of people being saved by the police and firefighters. These reports have made Chinese people feel safe and happy.

During those long 50-odd hours, she learned to stay calm, use her resources, and keep hope and a love of life. This was a miracle, and life didn't disappoint her. She let everyone witness the miracle.

I hope my answer helps. I love you!

Hello!

Host:

I'm Zeng Chen, a heart-searching coach. After reading your post, I understand what you're asking.

It was also noticed that you were actively seeking help on the platform, which helped you view this question in a more positive way.

Next, I'll share some observations and thoughts from the post that might help you see the situation from a different angle.

1. Save your strength.

"Seeing this post of yours, were you affected by the house collapse in Changsha?" I get where you're coming from.

So let's look at what we can do in dangerous situations. Reading the post also reminded me of a scene in the movie A Good Play.

When they were stranded on a desert island due to an accident, someone from the company asked Wang Baoqiang,

The question was whether he'd learned wilderness survival skills in the army. Wang Baoqiang's answer was to conserve his strength and stay alive longer.

This means you're more likely to survive. So in dangerous situations, it's important to focus on a key principle to help you stay strong.

2. Make the most of the resources you have at hand.

I was really impressed by the way one person rescued herself in this incident in Changsha. She made full use of the resources around her.

She had half a bottle of water and her mobile phone. She just drank a little at a time.

Keep the phone on standby to preserve the battery, so you know how long you've been trapped. Then it's time to send out a distress signal.

She'll make a sound by tapping on something so the rescue forces can find her more easily. From her story, we can see that she's making good use of all the resources around her, which will help her survive better and increase her chances of being rescued.

3. Adjust your mindset.

Our mindset is also key when we're facing danger. On the one hand, we need to believe in ourselves and give it our all.

On the other hand, we also have to trust our own country. It's doing pretty well overall, and it'll put the lives of its people first.

When we see more favorable conditions, our mindset tends to improve.

We also need to adjust our mindset. Being overly fearful can drain our physical energy more quickly.

Right now, it's best to focus on the present and see what we can control in the moment. We can take steps to relieve our emotions.

I hope these ideas will be helpful and inspiring for you.

#Hello, I'm Gu Yi! I'm modest and consistent, just like a valley!

This is a toughie! How can you speak of others without having experienced it yourself?

Keep that initial awe for life alive and well!

I may be just an ordinary person, but I have big dreams! I want to live a peaceful life, but I also want to make a difference in the world. The ideals in our hearts give us a mission to live by, and that makes life so much more meaningful.

I can only imagine what an incredible mental journey he went through during those 50 hours in the ruins! It must have been a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with fear and hope, pain and desire, and a constant waiting in conflict and hoping against hope.

I still remember an article in my elementary school textbook called "The Sinking of the Normandy." At that time, the teacher asked a question that really got me thinking: "If you were the captain, what would you do?" Many students answered that they would do the same as the captain and sacrifice their lives for the greater good, protecting the safety of the entire ship with their own lives.

But only one student's answer made the teacher cry. She said, "I would choose to escape!"

Among the many talkative and confident students, only this one remained sober and thoughtful. At such a young age, he was already thinking about his future! He didn't understand the meaning of a career or a calling, but he knew that he wanted to go on this journey.

Children's words are free of guile and sincere. And it's so inspiring to see how respect and awe for one's own life can make them feel a richer meaning of life!

How can you stay calm when a crisis hits?

The way we face life and treat it with respect determines our state of existence. And it's so inspiring to see how our desire to survive can inspire a strong fighting spirit in us when we're in a very dangerous situation!

As we've heard all kinds of things, we know that no one would ever drink urine in broad daylight. But in times of crisis, people are willing to do things they never thought they could do before. Why? Because the things they've been holding on to for so long are suddenly not as important as having their lives!

Absolutely! Special forces soldiers who undergo field training face life-and-death challenges in every training session. They have to pass with flying colors to succeed!

The uncertainty of life and the impermanence of things make you assume that if you encounter it, you must remain vigilant. So first, we are not sure if we will encounter it, and second, we don't know if we will have a strong will. So we just try to be happy and motivated in our daily lives. If time permits, we can go to the gym regularly and participate in some outdoor activities to build a strong body. If possible, we should learn more about emergency response knowledge so that we can remain calm in an emergency.

It's a thrilling two-way rush between mission and life. It's challenging, but anyone can do it! We're awestruck by life, and we believe in the face of our mission.

How to make choices, how to live up to expectations – I haven't experienced this myself, but I'm excited to find out! I just know that every life is worthy of respect and every position is worthy of admiration. People shine and glow in different fields, and the dangers they face are different – it's so inspiring!

There's no better way to stay vigilant than by enhancing your self-defense capabilities!

Wishing you the best!

Hello, I'm Phil, and I'd love to give you a big, warm hug!

I am so grateful for your question!

In life, we will inevitably encounter particularly urgent emergencies—and we can be ready for them!

Or the crisis situation makes us want to survive, and we're ready to do whatever it takes!

The thrilling, urgent desire to break out of a difficult situation! Of course, this kind of situation is very extreme and rare,

But we can't stop thinking about it! And thinking about it without thinking about it is excessive and anxious.

And that's how we get that sense of anxiety and insecurity.

And the recent story about the girl who went both ways and was buried in the rubble for more than 50 hours is absolutely incredible!

And it also gives us a real boost of motivation to keep thinking and keep going!

What kind of incredible strength and willpower or idea could have persisted for so long?

The simplest thing is our most instinctive desire to survive!

And on this basis are those "regrets" that we have not completed.

Or, when threatened with imminent death, the first thing that comes to mind!

And when we really encounter a situation where we have to remain rational and alert,

The most important thing is to have the willpower and hope to survive!

And absolutely, positively, under no circumstances should you give up your life lightly!

No matter what, don't give up your life easily!

And secondly, seize every available realistic situation!

And seize every opportunity to break through the predicament and create possibilities for yourself and others!

For example, you should absolutely make sure you maintain a minimum level of physical strength and lucidity!

Leave a mark for rescuers or keep yourself motivated by constantly reminding yourself to persevere!

I really hope my answer can help you!

I love you so much, and I hope the world does too! ??
