"Uncle, remember to give me a coke and make it frozen."
Juvenile Xue Xiao is in The first sentence he said after being rescued from the ruins of the Wenchuan earthquake, I did not expect to be shown to thousands of viewers through live broadcast, and I did not expect to brand him for ten years or even a lifetime: Coke Boy.
Young Xue Xiao is now a genuine "Coke man": an employee of COFCO Coca-Cola Sichuan Company and the director of the Coke Museum.
"It can be regarded as a kind of fate, because of what I said at the beginning, and then I really became associated with Coca-Cola." When he said "Coke", Xue Xiao smiled faintly.
"Remember to give me a Coke"
recalled the big earthquake ten years ago, Xue Xiao still showed full of emotion.
At about 19:00 on May 15, 2008, rescuers found two survivors in a collapsed four-story teaching building in Mianzhu Hanwang Dongqi Middle School. At this time, 80 hours have passed since the earthquake.
"Persevere, the only idea below is to get out alive. I think people should be able to persevere for that purpose." Ten years later, talking about the reason why he can continue to support him and wait until the rescue arrives, Xue Xiao thinks It's the survival instinct.

However, the next scene made the worried audience in front of the TV laugh, and the rescued Xue Xiao shouted on the stretcher: "Uncle, remember to give me a Coke." The rescuers answered. : "Okay, let's have a Coke." Xue Xiao added: "It's going to be frozen." The dialogue of
is a touch of warmth in the tragic rescue.
Because of this detail of coke, Xue Xiao was affectionately called "Coke Boy" and received national attention.
Xue Xiao was taken to the hospital. Because he was under the ground for too long, the "Coke Boy" had an amputation with his right hand. A year later, Xue Xiao was sent to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
"Helping those in need"
"I received a lot of help from kindhearted people, especially volunteers, during the earthquake. At that time, I wanted to give back to the society. When I have the ability, I will help those in need. "Xue Xiao told reporters from the Yangcheng faction. After
went to college, Xue Xiao signed up for five clubs and student union organizations, one of which was the volunteer department, went to the hospital to play with children with autism, and since then embarked on the road of public welfare. After
worked, his road to public welfare did not stop. From time to time, he would go to Hope Primary School, nursing home and other places with his colleagues, play with children, chat with the elderly, and send donated books, stationery, clothing, etc.
Xue Xiao also participated in the Jiuzhaigou earthquake rescue.
"In the Jiuzhaigou earthquake in 2017, my colleagues and I participated in the disaster relief as soon as possible. We risked falling rocks, mudslides, etc., and it took us almost six hours to deliver pure water to the hands of the victims."
Xue Xiao In the picture provided by interviewees at the Coke Museum,
is called the "Coke Boy", but in fact, it was only after Xue Xiao went to college that he really had contact with the Coca-Cola Company.
"Later, I felt that using the Coca-Cola platform to do charity work was not bad, and I went to Coca-Cola during the internship." After graduating from university in 2013, Xue Xiao joined the Coca-Cola Company and is now the curator of the Coca-Cola Chengdu Museum.
"I haven't found a girlfriend yet"
In fact, Xue Xiao told reporters sent to Yangcheng many times that his minimum goal is to "not cause trouble to the society", and then to "help others and give back to society when he is able."
In order to achieve his "minimum goal", Xue Xiao practiced turning himself into a "normal person". After losing his right hand, he learned to use chopsticks to eat with his left hand, and to write and make phone calls with his left hand in about a week by practicing the method of clamping a glass ball. Even after being discharged from the hospital, he played basketball with his left hand, played online games with his left hand, and played League of Legends. If
is not for the empty sleeves of his right hand, people can hardly remember that he lost his right hand.
Xue Xiao told reporters from the Yangcheng faction that his current life is normal: "I haven't found a girlfriend yet.So obviously urging me. "
