Today at 11:05.
111 hours after the collapse of the Quanzhou Xinjia Hotel, the last trapped victim was found and rescued, but showed no signs of life.
So far, the accident has resulted in 29 deaths.
As written in the book, some people stay in yesterday on a peaceful morning.
And there is something even more heartbreaking.
At around 3 am on March 10th, more than 40 firefighters from the Xiamen Fire Brigade took turns to the scene and around 6:20 am discovered a brother and sister who were trapped.
According to Hu Jun, from the Xiamen Fire Brigade's Special Operations Brigade, the sister's foot was under the brother's body. After removing the cement board, the firefighters found that the two were pinned down by a main beam.
The boy was on the outside and was quickly rescued, while the girl was pinned down by the main beam.
"The hands and feet were pressed together very tightly, and we couldn't destroy the main beam as it would affect the structure. We could only dig down and peel off the cement boards layer by layer, and then lift them out."
After three hours of efforts, the two children were rescued. When they were found, the brother and sister were tightly hugging each other.
As Deputy Station Chief Zhou Jianren of the Xiamen Fire Rescue Brigade's Special Operations Station said:
"The boy's hand was holding onto his sister's waist."
The sister was about 4 years old, and the brother was about 2 years old.
When they were rescued, there were no signs of life.
One can imagine how terrified and helpless the two children were at the moment the building collapsed.
The sister instinctively tried to protect her brother with her small body, and the brother held onto his sister's waist seeking shelter.
But in the blink of an eye, death quietly arrived.
From 4:43 to 6:30 on March 11th.
A family of five in Huangshi, Hubei, who had been highly concerned about, was found, but unfortunately, all of them had died.
According to the descriptions of the search and rescue personnel, the positions they were found in were heart-wrenching: the mother was protecting the daughter, the father was protecting the mother, and the two sons were about two meters away, roughly where another bed would have been.
The two boys were 7 and 5 years old, and the youngest daughter was only two and a half years old.
I once saw a quarantine video posted by this mother on Douyin.
On the fifth day of quarantine, the three children were playing on a chaise lounge in their pajamas, peering out the window at the world outside.
The little sister with braided hair climbed up the back of the sofa and stared intently downstairs. The slightly older brother quickly picked her up, but soon she climbed up again. The two boys were playing around beside her.
On the seventh day of quarantine, the three children were playing on the bed next to their mother. The older brother stacked pillows to make a fortress and shouted, "Charge!" Then he lowered his voice and told his sister, "This is my backup bullet, got it?"
The mother captioned the video: "Stay at home and be a good baby."
According to the original plan, they were supposed to be released from quarantine and go home on March 8th.
However, now this family of five can never go home again.
If even adults cannot escape from disasters, how can children have any chance of survival?
As a father, when I saw this news, for a few minutes, I didn't even know what words to use to express my feelings at this moment.
Grief, anger, sorrow, all ultimately turned into a helpless bitterness in my eyes.
Deputy Minister Shang Yong of the Ministry of Emergency Management said:
"This is an accident of safety production responsibility. This hotel was illegally constructed and underwent multiple unauthorized renovations, exposing the loopholes and blind spots in the safety production supervision responsibilities of the local authorities, which have long caused safety risks. The bloody lesson is shocking."

Behind the deaths of these children is a series of man-made disasters.
The Xinjia Hotel only had a door number, but as a commercial building, it did not have the proper qualifications and names for compliance with engineering standards, which is the first link;
The original floor where the hotel was located was supposed to be a lobby, but it was illegally divided into guest rooms by adding multiple walls, which is the second link;
The excessive force on the building caused the steel structure to deform, and during the renovation, the glass windows and doors of the first-floor businesses were squeezed and shattered, but no action was taken, which is the third link;
During a period of economic downturn, it was designated as a self-funded quarantine hotel for COVID-19, which is the fourth link.
All these links are connected by money.
As Karl Marx said, if there is a 10% profit, capital will be restless; with a 50% profit, capital will take risks; with a 100% profit, capital will dare to be reckless; with a 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on all human laws.
In this world, everything is done for profit, and everyone is busy pursuing their own interests.
In the face of money, what does the life of others matter!
In the face of money, what does the life of a child matter?
Media person Zeng Wuyan once said: Not every child will eventually meet a god, but they can encounter such evil at any time and anywhere.
On September 11, 2008, the Sanlu Group's "melamine incident".
The Oriental Morning Post published a report, naming 14 infants in Gansu who were suspected of suffering from kidney disease due to drinking "Sanlu" milk powder.
After the incident was exposed, Sanlu recalled 700 tons of infant formula. Under the comprehensive inspection of the China National Quality Inspection Administration, 69 batches of products from 22 dairy companies across the country were found to have serious problems.
What does 700 tons mean?
400-gram bags, which is 1.75 million bags. 900-gram cans, which is 777,800 cans.
These toxic milk powders caused nearly 300,000 Chinese children to suffer varying degrees of health damage: multiple kidney stones, ureteral stones, mental retardation, lifelong disabilities, abnormally large heads and short limbs, known as "big-headed dolls".
Tian Wenhua, the former chairman of Sanlu Milk Powder, was sentenced to life imprisonment on January 22, 2009, and has now received three reductions in sentence.
For parents who have just become parents, spoonful by spoonful, they dug out white powder, watching their children happily suck on it, envisioning their healthy growth. Who could have imagined that they were actually driving their children to the edge of death.
What crime did these more than 300,000 children commit?
In July 2018, the Changchun Changsheng and Wuhan Biological Vaccine Incident.
There were records of falsification in the production of rabies vaccines, and the implicated rabies vaccines accounted for nearly one-fourth of the national market.
There were as many as 650,000 substandard DPT vaccines, of which 252,600 were all sold to the Shandong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention and injected into the bodies of 252,600 children.
Children crying in line at the vaccination station, we persuade them, "Daddy is doing this for your own good," "Don't cry, it won't hurt once it's injected," but what was injected into their bodies was a substandard fake vaccine.
What crime did these more than 250,000 children commit?
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
Children who drank toxic milk powder have been diagnosed with "delayed growth and development for more than ten years, chronic renal failure, end-stage renal disease, renal anemia."
Some still cannot straighten their fingers, and some couldn't even survive the torment of illness and left this world.
As @摩登中产 wrote:
"According to local customs, children who die young cannot be buried and must be placed on a high hillside. The grieving parents quietly walk away.
Before dawn, the suppressed cries of the parents send the children off for burial."
Children who received fake vaccines have physical disabilities. Without the help of prosthetics, they will never be able to stand normally.
When children who are just learning to walk stumble, they become stepping stones for corporate branding.
When innocent, naive, and lively children become sacrifices behind the scenes of power and money.
We, who know nothing, how can we protect children from these rotten consciences?
In the end, no child can escape.
Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez once wrote a story.
On the day before her twelfth birthday, a girl named Xerva Maria was bitten by a mad dog on her left ankle.
In that place, people with rabies either were locked up to wait for death or were killed.
Fortunately, Xerva Maria's Duke father hired the best doctor to treat her, and the result was that she was very healthy and did not contract rabies.
However, shortly after, Xerva Maria suddenly developed a fever.
Everyone knew that fever was one of the symptoms of rabies.
Amidst rumors, the Duke brought in a group of quack doctors, pharmacists, charlatans, and sorcerers to treat his daughter. The girl, who was not infected with rabies at all, resisted angrily but was regarded as a "crazy person possessed by a devil."
In the end, she was sent to a monastery that was like hell, where she was tortured to death.
At the end of the story, Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote:
"What killed that child was not rabies, but the devil living among humans."
