Song Xinyi, a 3-year-old earthquake survivor, is saved in earthquake-hit Beichuan County, southwest China's Sichuan Province, May 14, 2008. Song was saved after being buried in the ruins for more than 40 hours.
Even an 18-month-old toddler screamed "save mama, save papa" from the safety of a rescuer's arms. Her parents were both dead.
Many babies were born during the quake, and most of their names reflect that. Given names like Zhensheng (born in the quake) and Yaoyao (rock) were bestowed to commemorate the significance of their births.
As the song goes, "a ray of hope flickers in the sky, a tiny star lights up way up high. All across the land dawns a brand new morn. This comes to pass when a child is born."
Miracles can always happen, where there is hope.
