After the earthquake had stoppedꎬwhen the
rescuers reached the ruins of a young womans
houseꎬ they saw her dead body through the cracks.
But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt
on her knees like a person was worshiping(做礼
拜)ꎻher body was leaning forwardꎬ and her two
hands were supported by an object. The collapsed
house had crashed her back and her head.
With so many difficultiesꎬ the leader of the
rescue team put his hand through a narrow gap on
the wall to reach the womans body. He was hoping
that this woman could be still alive. Howeverꎬ the
cold and stiff body told him that she had passed
away for sure.
He and the rest of the team left this house and
were going to search the next collapsed building.
For some reasonsꎬ the team leader was driven by
compelling force to go back to the ruined house
