Both self-help and saving others are instinctive

I have also been uncertain about life or death in the flood.
Floods and tsunamis, for an unprepared individual, there is no lighter or heavier, without being so close to death, you can't really appreciate the fragility of human beings, weaker than water, and just wash away.
Although while watching the movie, the other one said: I have been rescued, don't hurry up to take a bath! However, I also know that in the face of a strong will to survive, dirty is really not worth mentioning.

That afternoon, I was involved in the annual flood in Brisbane, Queensland. The originally secluded tree-lined path was flooded by the downpour, and I was washed away unsuspectingly. A few minutes after the world revolved, I caught a small tree that had been blown down and dragged it tightly. Only my head was above the water. The bag had been washed away by the water, and I couldn't expect to take out my phone to ask for help. I don’t know the direction of the water, I only know that the place where the water flows horizontally and upstream is the shore.
That was half a year ago, and occasionally passing by that path, I still feel beautiful, but my heart is tight.
Marian was involved in the tsunami, and the scene reappeared as he hovered in the water. If you insist on comparison, I think she is luckier than me. She has found a companion—the eldest son Lucas, so that you are not fighting alone. Therefore, I understand that as a wounded + mother, she insisted on rescuing the unknown Daniel. These living people are the driving force for each other to live. And I am a person. In addition to calling for help, I want to investigate the terrain as much as possible, so as not to be washed away when the branch in my hand is broken.

Moreover, the mother and son shown in the picture are all in the daytime during the self-rescue process, which provides a powerful way to survive. Conditions; and when I was in the water, the sky was getting darker, the rain was getting longer, and my heart was very burdened.

I was luckier than her. I was not injured, nor did I share limited assistance with countless wounded. I met the savior after 50 minutes. This is beyond my expectation. I can't imagine anyone walking on the small road on a windy and heavy rainy day-in order to split the park, the small road is separated from the driveway by a piece of grass, and the end of the driveway is the residential area. But I did win the assistance of nearby residents and the local emergency rescue center, and was sent to the local hospital for an independent, private aristocratic comprehensive examination to ensure that I was physically and mentally safe.

The same is that none of us cry.

I didn't cry until the last family was sitting on the plane to Singapore. The eldest son who couldn't even tolerate his younger brother at first seemed to be a big man. He helped his mother, Daniel, and the separated father and son in Sweden, but he helped himself more, get along with people, and fear life. (I dare not say whether a boy of this age can really return to being so calm as a bystander when he sees the reunion of others in the disaster, but there is no doubt that such a treatment is very emotional).

Many people will unconsciously ask themselves after reading it: If it were me, would I save Daniel? If it were me, would I let the two younger sons go first, and stay alone to find a wife? If it was me, would I let my son help others instead of staying by my side? This assumption is unnecessary, because human potential is completely different in peace and crisis. After my accident, many people praised me: You are so brave, if you change to me, you must wait to die. But you forgot, survival is an instinct, and so is saving others.

This miracle is obviously much weaker than I thought before. I thought that 1-2 family members would lose their lives, and new members would be added to the lost list of Lucas (I think that paragraph is the highlight, because everyone Disaster education that should be learned). Of course, the ending is too good, and even a family charter flight, this is the right to be inspirational before going to bed.
