The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake hurt many people. It also started a brave new life for Lang Zheng. People called him the “Salute (敬礼)Boy” when he was 3 years old.
Now he is a tall and sunny young man. Eighteen years ago, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake hit Sichuan. Three-year-old Lang Zheng was trapped (被困住) under fallen buildings in Beichuan. He hurt his left arm. Soldiers rescued him from the fallen buildings. The little boy put up his right hand to give them a military salute and thank them. A photographer took this touching photo to record the moving moment. It spread across China and warmed millions of hearts.
Lang never let the painful memory stop him. He turned others’ love into strength. He studied very hard to realise his goals. In 2023, he took the Gaokao and got a great score. Top universities like Peking University invited him to apply. Lang plans to study history or international relations. He wants to serve people and thank all the helpers.
The special name “Salute Boy” is not burden, but a kind of strength. It makes him remember warmth from others. He also joins in activities to help people in need.
