An Unforgettable Experience
When I was a little girl, in the summer vacation in 1976, I went to my mother's hometown , Tangshan.
After I got there, at first I stayed at my uncle's home . I was very happy in my uncle's home because my uncle had a daughter who is older than I. She often took me to visit some places. We spent ten days happily. I remember just on the tenth day there was a big earthquake. It happened about three o'clock in the morning when I was dreaming. I woke up to find myself under a heap of rocks . I couldn't move. I didn't, in fact , know anything about what was happening until my uncle saved me from the rubble①.
During the earthquake most of the houses fell down. We set up many tents to live in and received a lot of food from every city in our country. They helped us to tide over② those hard days. I think if we hadn't lived in New China we couldn't have survived the big earthquake. I am very lucky and so are my uncle's family.
