[2] "When the earthquake came, I saw students running desperately below"
Jiupai News: What was the situation at the time of the earthquake?
Mr. Pan: It was noon. We had just had lunch and were about to take a lunch break. Generally speaking, the school lunch break is at 1 pm. The earthquake happened at 12:52, about 10 minutes before the lunch break. Some students also take walks or exercise outside the classroom.
Because I am the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the school and the teacher on duty that week, I am also responsible for teaching students physical education. At that time, I was standing on the podium of the playground, asking the students to put away their sports equipment and prepare to go back to the classroom for a lunch break. Suddenly I felt the ground sway and my feet could not stand still. Because there is a warehouse under the rostrum, which is a little high, I felt as if I was going to fall down.
After a while, the shaking stopped, and I heard a rumbling sound, very loud, and I walked less than 10 meters forward, which was very difficult. Unable to lift my feet, it kept swaying me from side to side, and I saw the students underneath were also running desperately.
Jiupai News: Have the students evacuated safely?
Mr. Pan: We usually have emergency plans , and we often organize students to conduct emergency drills. But at that time, the new semester had just started, and the first year of high school had just entered the school, and before they had time to send them their school uniforms, there was an earthquake.
Many freshmen have not experienced the drill. They ran into the open area and blocked the people behind. Such a situation occurred at that time. After the
earthquake, the power was cut off, and the school broadcast was unavailable. I shouted loudly with a microphone equipped with batteries to let the students evacuate. Many teachers were also instructing the students to evacuate. After a while, the students were safely evacuated to the playground.

Jiupai News: How did the students arrange after the evacuation?
Mr. Pan: After evacuated, all the students were concentrated in the playground, and all the teachers also organized the students to avoid danger in the playground. There are not many tents in the
school. There are only two tents. The tents bought in the past are more damaged. The new semester has not had time to buy them. The students can only rest in the open air on the playground.
When it was after 9 o'clock in the evening, it was a little rainy, and the temperature at night was relatively low. Students were prone to catch cold when they slept in the playground, so we let the students go to the dormitory to rest.
has a dedicated teacher in each dormitory. We require that the dormitory door should be opened when we go to bed. Students should sleep in clothes and be ready to evacuate at any time. In case of emergencies, immediately Whistle to evacuate. On the night of
, I stayed in the student dormitory all night.
Jiupai News: How did the students arrange during the day?
Mr. Pan: During the day, we arrange for students to study independently in the playground. But at noon, the sun was very strong, so the students could only bask in the sun, and there was no way to hide in the shade of the house.
The children who have umbrellas are holding umbrellas, and those who don't have umbrellas can only hold their clothes. It is really difficult to see, but the children also understand and cooperate very well.
Jiupai News: How is your home situation?
Mr. Pan: My home is in Luding County. My parents are at home. I have been in the school since the earthquake. I called them and they said nothing was wrong. But I don't know what the specific situation is, because I have been busy and have to guard the students all the time, and I haven't had time to ask them in detail.
