In trying times, love and hope will keep us going. This song by JJ Lin is really true and touching. However, that's not the point. The point is that although we are unable to be on site to help the victims directly, donating money and other useful items is probably the next best thing that we can do.

Dearest baby, if you are still alive, please remember that I love you
Translated text:
By the time the rescuers found her, she was already dead from being crushed by the demolished house. Through the cracks in the ruin, she was found to be dead in a strange position. She was on bended knees, her body arched over supported by her hands. Rescuers confirmed her death after they reached her through the cracks, and also getting no response from shouts and knockings on the bricks.
The rescuers decided to move on to another building, when suddenly the team leader ran back and shouted, "Come quickly!". He reached her body and started rummaging underneath the body. Upon searching, he shouted, "There is a survivor, a baby, still alive!"
The rescuers carefully removed the rubble and discovered lying beneath her body was her child, wrapped in a tiny red blanket with yellow flowers. The baby was about 3 to 4 months old. Because his mother shielded him with her body, he was unhurt. The baby was still sleeping soundly when they rescued him, bringing warmth to everyone in the scene.
The field doctor unwrapped the tiny blanket to examine the baby and found a handphone. The doctor looked at the screen and saw a short message. "Dearest baby, if you are still alive, please remember that I love you." Even though the doctor had seen death everyday, he could not stop his tears from flowing down. The phone was passed around and everyone who saw the message cried.

当抢救人员发现她的时候，她已经死了，是被垮塌下来的房子压的，透过那一堆废墟的的间隙可以看到她死亡的姿势，双膝跪着，整个上身向前匍匐着，双手扶着地支撑着身体，有些象古人行跪拜礼，只是身体被压的变形了，看上去有些诡异。救援人员从废墟的空隙伸手进去确认了她已经死亡，又在冲着废墟喊了几声，用撬棍在在砖头上敲了几下，里面没有任何回应。
当人群走到下一个建筑物的时候，救援队长忽然往回跑，边跑变喊“快过来”。他又来到她的尸体前，费力的把手伸进女人的身子底下摸索，他摸了几下高声的喊“有人，有个孩子 ，还活着”。
经过一番努力，人们小心的把挡着她的废墟清理开，在她的身体下面躺着她的孩子，包在一个红色带黄花的小被子里，大概有3、4个月大，因为母亲身体庇护着，他毫发未伤，抱出来的时候，他还安静的睡着，他熟睡的脸让所有在场的人感到很温暖。
随行的医生过来解开被子准备做些检查，发现有一部手机塞在被子里，医生下意识的看了下手机屏幕，发现屏幕上是一条已经写好的短信“亲爱的宝贝，如果你能活着，一定要记住我爱你”，看惯了生离死别的医生却在这一刻落泪了，手机传递着，每个看到短信的人都落泪了。
