William's Walk The Great Walk on the Great Wall of China is fantastic. As the son of a cancer victim, I take great pleasure doing my share towards fighting cancer. Walking on the Great Walk is so challenging, but I will beat it, just like we’re going to beat cancer…

When the detector received life signal from the ruins of his place on May 14, the fireman called his wife and daughter according to their registration. Then his family came to stay outside of the collapsed building keep on talking with him to keep him awake; while the rescue is progressing, getting his legs out of the heavy cement frames stuck.
