This photo was taken by an English photographer and first published on The Daily Telegraph after the 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake in 2008.
In the picture, a middle-age man sat on a motor bike and a woman lay on his back. Actually, the woman had died for couple days in the earthquake. The man was her husband, named Jiafang Wu. As Wu described, when the earthquake came, he was working outside while his wife was at home, he ran back home the first time after the earthquake and found their house had already been ruined. He strongly insisted his wife was in the ruin and began to dig, having been working a whole day, Wu finally found his wife, but sadly, already dead. He felt a deep pain inside and decided to bury his wife himself. He digged out his wife's favourite clothes and headwear and put them on for her. Because the transportation was cut down and no one yet to help, he tied his wife to his back and rode to the burial ground. During their way there, this photo was taken by a photographer on the road.
We all see the full-filled love in this picture. The deceased have to, towards the heaven, where there will be no more disasters, there will be no more tears, but for those who survived the disaster in the compatriots, alive to become a challenge, let them in an instant disaster separated from the experience of live and death, once the husband and wife had loved each other for 20 years, but now they had to be apart. The horrible disaster not only led to the flesh wounds but also the detructions of their souls. We can ever build their home more beautiful, but for us, the most important is how to bind up their soul-deep scars.
Pay our respect to the deaths, is more than recalling, but a way to make us stronger!
