Before the 10th anniversary of the Wenchuan earthquake, which took place on May 12, 2008 and claimed 69,227 lives and left 17,923 missing, Southern Metropolis Daily reporter Ren Jiarui once again met up with Lang Zheng, or "Salute Boy" who touched the nation's heart in the aftermath of the deadly quake. As Lang was lying on a stretcher among the rubble waiting to be moved, the 3-year-old gave a military salute to the People's Liberation Army soldiers as they approached. The moment was captured on camera, and prompted an outpouring of concern from people of all walks of life. Lang, who is currently studying in middle school, has enjoyed a happy childhood in his post-earthquake life.
