Reprinted from a portion of the article dated May 18, 2008, by China Radio International, Japanese Department.
At noon on the 13th, the day after the earthquake, rescue workers discovered the body of a woman under the ruins.
The woman was buried under a collapsed ceiling, and when rescue workers found her in a gap in the ruins, she was kneeling, her upper body bent forward, and her hands were on the ground supporting her body.
After the rescue workers reached through the gap and confirmed she was dead, they called out to see if there were any survivors in the ruins and tapped on the bricks with a probe, but there was no response. Just as they were about to move to another location for rescue, the rescue team leader shouted, "Hurry!" and returned to the woman in the ruins.
Then, he felt around near the dead woman's body with his hands, and to his surprise, there was a baby under her body, and it was still alive.
So, the rescue workers carefully removed the rubble around the woman and found a three-to-four-month-old baby wrapped in a red blanket with a yellow flower pattern under the woman's body.
In fact, because she desperately protected her child with her own body, this baby was sleeping soundly without a single injury.
The rescue workers were moved when they saw the sleeping baby's cute face.
After that, a doctor tried to open the blanket to perform a physical examination of the baby, and to everyone's surprise, a mobile phone fell out from inside the blanket.
A text message remained on the mobile phone.
It was the last message this mother left for her child before she passed away.
This message read,
"My cute child, if you can live, don't forget Mommy. Mommy will always love you."
Seeing this, the doctor shed tears, saying, "I have seen many dead people, but this is the first time I have seen something like this."
This mobile phone was passed from one rescue worker to another, and they could not hold back their overflowing tears.
