diao weihao, a business english major at the chengdu campus of sichuan international studies university, was in his dormitory when, the earthquake struck at 2:30 pm on may 12. the 22-year-old felt that his chair was shaking. all of a sudden, the textbook on the bookshelf began to fall to the floor. the glass in the window broke. “it felt as if our dormitory building was being hit by a tractor,” recalled dido. “i wasn’t afraid; i was even excited and curious. now, looking back , it was a scary experience.” dido and his roommates kept their calm. they didn’t try to get out of the building until the shaking stopped. they were on the fifth floor and they feared there might be trouble if they didn’t remain calm. “we’ve watched lots of disaster films,. and that helped us keep cool unconsciously, ” he said, “only one student hurt his ankle. he was escaping in a hurry. most of us got outside quickly and safely.” they were surprised to see so mangy students outside.
“ i began to realize then what had happened,” he said. the college had warned them that in the event of an earthquake, they should leave the dormitory immediately. without any tents or bedding, the students stayed on the football field for the whole night. rain started falling in the morning, but the students all kept in good order. they simply chatted and shared their feelings and comforted each other. “our students seemed to have self-control,” he said. “i heard that hospitals in chengdu have lots of injured people who jumped out of building.”
