At 4:43 pm on Jan 2, a 4.6-magnitude earthquake hit Yinchuan's Jinfeng district. In that critical moment of evacuation, Guo Qing, a second-year high school student, demonstrated remarkable courage and compassion. Upon noticing a classmate with mobility problems, Guo carried the classmate on his back to a safe location.
