Helped a classmate in a wheelchair to evacuate from the earthquake, the male student received a rain of compliments

On May 20, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck the town of Nha’an, Sichuan, China.

As soon as the ground shook, the teacher of the Shimian District Middle School in Ya’an guided the students at the evacuation classes.

In a video that is being shared dizzyingly on Chinese social media, a student instead of rushing out of the classroom like the rest of the class ran to the back of the class.

Sichuan is an earthquake-prone region in China. In May 2008, about 70,000 people were killed in a devastating earthquake with a magnitude of 8 in Wenchuan county in this province.
