Zheng Haiyang (2nd R), a survivor who lost his legs in the 8.0-magnitude 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, talks with his old friends at the new Beichuan Middle School in Beichuan County, southwest China's Sichuan Province, May 8, 2018. Zheng and his schoolmates gathered at an event to launch a new book recording their lives after the earthquake. Ten years ago, Zheng, then a 17-year-old student at Beichuan Middle School, was extricated 22 hours after he was trapped in the rubble of the school building in Beichuan County. Beichuan was one of the worst-hit areas when the catastrophic earthquake struck Sichuan's Wenchuan County on May 12, 2008. Zheng was a survivor of the earthquake that left more than 80,000 people dead or missing. Beichuan County has been rebuilt in a new location, and the experience of being helped after the quake has also shaped the life of Zheng. Zheng now is the CEO of Jiaxiansheng, a Chengdu-based online medical service platform for disabled people. He devoted his efforts to assisting the disabled by offering information on rehabilitation hospitals and equipments. (Xinhua/Zhang Fan)
