My Dad Will Certainly Bring Me Home

Zuan Ren is a seven year old student in Chengdo, Sichuan Province. Every morning, his father brings him to school and brings him back from school at 6pm in the evening. Rain or shine, never fail.

A 7.6 magnitute devastating earthquake hit Chengdo on May 21, 2008, killed more than 60,000 people and some 5 million people made homeless. Thousands of students includng Zuan Ren was trapped in the rubble. 120 hours after the quake Zuan Ren, was pulled to safety from a pile of debris. Under normal circumstances, a human being may not survive without food and water so many days (hours).

People are amazed of how he survived in darkness for so many hours. Zuan Ren replied, "I know, my dad will certainly come and bring me home." It's because Zuan Ren can count on his dad, therefore he survived. Friend, are you the one your family can count on? Are you the one your teammates can count on?
