A woman trapped in rubble for as many as 124 hours after the quake occurred was rescued in Shifang county, Sichuan province, at around 6 p.m. on May 17, 2008, with efforts by firefighters from Henan province for nearly two days. Bian Gangfen attracted wide attention with her strong resilience. Since then, she sends out a public message on WeChat on May 12 every year to commemorate the deceased in the quake and thank those who helped her out. She takes May 17 as another birthday, a day of her rebirth. She also believes that happiness consists in contentment.
