"亲爱的宝贝,如果你还活着,一定要记得,我爱你." (dear baby, if you managed to survived, do remember that i will always love you). These were the last words that was found on a mobile phone at the epicenter of the merciless 7.8 magnitude earthquake that shook Si Chuan. Next to the mobile phone laid a baby nestled safely under the arms of the mother. Unlike the baby, the mother wasn't so lucky to survive the tragedy. She sacrificed herself by using herself as a shield in order to protect her loved one from harm. With her last breath, she expressed her love for her child by keying in the last words into her mobile phone. At the same time, the innocent baby was still sleeping comfortably in her arms, oblivious of the situation.
