The earthquake shook Wenchuan, and it also shook the hearts of Chinese children. Saddened by the loss of our compatriots' homes and relatives, it also moved the armed police soldiers to move forward bravely, moved the volunteers' righteousness and moved the Chinese nation's unity...

But there is another aspect that we can't see or feel no matter what. , that is the life buried in the dark ruins, is it fear, despair, or strength and silence? There happens to be a movie that allows us to experience what that is like - "World Trade Center".

The story comes from the personal experience of two 911 survivors. Two policemen who participated in the 911 rescue entered the rescue when the twin towers had not collapsed, but were buried deep in the rubble, with no water or light, and their bodies could not move. The wound was bleeding, and life was disappearing little by little. Under the dark ruins, the two people occasionally said a word or two to encourage each other, support each other, or review the faults and regrets in life. So against loneliness, against fear, against despair. At the moment when life was about to die, the white knight finally came. When they were rescued, they were like heroes, and everyone applauded, which was a tribute to the persistence of hope and the power of life. Two years later, when they recovered, they and their families let go of their past and had fun. Only after experiencing death can you know what is valuable and how to cherish it.

So, my compatriots who are still in the dark, please hold on. Pain's good, pain's friend, pain keeps you alive. Your relatives, friends and all Chinese sons and daughters are waiting for you, and surviving is a hero!

You are not alone, you are not abandoned, we are together!

    Some parts were really moving, especially the real laughter that day when Hermino was discovered.

World Trade Center quotes

  • John McLoughlin: [Narrating] "9/11 showed us what human beings are capable of. The evil, yeah, sure. But it also brought out the goodness we forgot could exist. People taking care of each other for no other reason than it was the right thing to do. It's important for us to talk about that good, to remember. 'Cause I saw all of it that day."

  • Dave Karnes: It's like God made a curtain with the smoke, shielding us from what we're not yet ready to see.
