"Coke Boy" Xue Xiao: From under the ruins he wanted to drink, to the "curator" of the Coke Museum

character business card

Xue Xiao was a high school student in Mianzhu Hanwang Dongqi Middle School. At 19:00 on May 15, 2008, rescuers found two survivors in a collapsed four-story teaching building, and he was one of them. During the rescue process, Xue Xiao comforted the rescuers and said, "If I can come out alive, you have to buy me a Coke." In the 80th hour after the disaster, Xue Xiao was finally rescued. And when he was carried into the ambulance, CCTV recorded a conversation between him and rescuers-"Uncle, remember I want to drink Coke" "Okay, Coke, bring it to you right away." "It must be frozen. "

In the face of the disaster, Xue Xiao used his optimism to "amuse the sad China", and people called him a "Coke boy."

The scene when Xue Xiao was rescued

"Lulu, help me get a can of Coke, at room temperature." On March 14, 2018, at the COFCO Coca-Cola Sichuan Company in Xindu District, Chengdu, Xue Xiao said inadvertently, amused. Intern "Mimei" Wang Lu and other colleagues. The sentence

seems to be similar. If you give another keyword, "Coke Boy", I believe many people are deeply impressed.

In the devastating disaster of 2008, tens of thousands of lives were frozen in the ground and the mountains were shaking. When the whole of China was immersed in grief, a 17-year-old rescued boy "Uncle, I want to drink Coke , Frozen", shot a ray of sunshine into China in the haze at that time.

The 17-year-old "Coke Boy" at the time was Xue Xiao.

Now, ten years later, Xue Xiao is still the pistachio of the people around him, and still often keeps a can of Coke on hand. But from drinking Coke to introducing Coke to people all over the world; from accepting outside help to helping others, in ten years, Xue Xiao experienced Nirvana rebirth and lived out his best self-his right limb was amputated. He is the main employee of the office. In private, he can still play basketball and games without losing his friends. However, now 27-year-old Xue Xiao also has the same troubles as his peers—weight loss.

entered the Coke company to work hard to practice English for communicating with foreigners

At 2 pm on March 14, at 2 pm on March 14, Xue Xiao was in front of the computer to communicate the flow of the next day’s activities in the Sichuan Foreign Affairs Department of COFCO Coca-Cola. His left hand was quickly tapping on the keyboard. On the side, the red coke can is a bit eye-catching.

"It's been a long time since I drank it. I just received a group of business representatives to visit in the morning, and I was so dry that I asked my colleagues to help me drink it." Xue Xiao, who was losing weight, felt the reporter's curious look. I quickly explained that, by the way, I didn’t forget the “self-blacking” sentence, “It’s normal temperature, I’m old, so I don’t drink ice less.”

Xue Xiao is working while drinking coke

Time goes back ten years ago, May 2008 On the 12th, there was a sudden violent shaking, and Xue Xiao was in the classroom on the 4th floor. Xue Xiao was buried in the darkness-his right hand was pressed tightly by a prefabricated board, and only a crack on the top of his head could see through a faint light.

80 hours later, he was carried out of the rubble by rescuers. "Uncle, remember my Coke." "Okay, Coke, bring it to you right away." "It's going to be frozen." This scene happened to be brightened by China, which was immersed in grief at the time.

"At that time, I was really too thirsty." Xue Xiao didn't expect that he would just hit the Coke.

graduated from university in 2013 and joined the foreign affairs department of this cola company. Today, Xue Xiao is an "old employee" of the department. From the initial handling of consumer complaints to the current work related to the Chengdu Museum of Coca-Cola, Xue Xiao has changed from drinking Coke to Introducing Coke to others, the visitors he received included foreigners. Because of this,

is different from many friends who lose English as soon as they leave the campus. Nowadays, Xue Xiao has downloaded several English learning software on his mobile phone. On the way to and from get off work, when he is okay, he will take out his mobile phone to recite words and practice oral English, "I don't want to fall behind others."

is still optimistic without his right limb. Basketball and games are very easy to play.

Xue Xiao at work is very dedicated ——Explain to the visiting group, professional and humorous; organize activities, and can hold the audience. If not paying particular attention to the empty sleeve on his right, few people would notice it.

Xue Xiao received treatment at West China Hospital

After being rescued in the earthquake, Xue Xiao arrivedChengdu for treatment. Due to the serious injury of the right arm, he was also infected with gas gangrene and had to be amputated. In the hospital, before his family arrived, Xue Xiao, who loves to play basketball, put his fingerprints on the surgery book. It was the end of 2008 when

and others were discharged from the hospital. At this time, there was only half a year before the college entrance examination. He was optimistic, practicing left-handed writing and making up for his homework. In July 2009, Xue Xiao received the admission notice from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

Xue Xiao, who lost his right limb, didn't want to be different from others. He used his left hand to practice eating, writing, talking on the phone, and even regaining basketball after he was discharged from the hospital. In the past, Xue Xiao was a "basketball boy" at Dongqi Middle School. After he was in college, he often asked his roommates to practice hand skills. "At work, the venue is not easy to find, and the people are not available, so he rarely plays. Look, it’s not easy to lose weight.”

Like boys of the same age, Xue Xiao also loves to play games. In college, he often played League of Legends with his roommates and friends. Move the mouse, hit the keyboard, and move flexibly with the left hand. "Now I'm busy at work, so I didn't play much. I used to be ranked as high as platinum." Xue Xiao, 27 years old now, always laughs at himself as a "middle-aged post-90s", but he follows closely. The footsteps of the post-00s-I like to watch the vibrato video when I’m fine. “Finger dance is very interesting, but I’m not very good at filming myself, so I’ll just follow along and watch the fun.” If you don’t pay special attention to the empty sleeve on his right side,

, Few people noticed the abnormality. Pistachio in the office of

Among his colleagues is his "fan girl"

. During the interview, Xue Xiao's answer always inadvertently attracted a burst of laughter from colleagues.

One hand serves food and receives dishes, one hand twists the bottle cap, one hand carries heavy objects... In the office, Xue Xiao rarely refuses to be "specially treated", with one exception-a small office Here, his seat is in the middle, and colleagues like to talk to him if they have anything to do, "He speaks very humorously and loves people, chatting with him is very refreshing." The post-95 intern Wang of

department Lu, she claims to be the president of Xue Xiao's "Fan Support Club". This Henan girl said that during the earthquake, she watched the rescue in the disaster area on TV and watched the scene where Xue Xiao was rescued for ice-cola. She cried, laughed and cried. "At that time, I thought he was amazing. I wrote about him in my composition and used it for submission, but unfortunately I didn't choose it."

Wang Lu did not expect that during the internship, the "idol" would become her own teacher. "In fact, on the first day, I was a little uncertain about him, and it was not easy to ask, so I specifically searched for comparisons of his previous photos on the Internet. It was indeed him, but he was a lot fatter." When she said this, Wang Lu did not evade. Meaning, Xue Xiao smiled calmly on this. After 7 months of internship at

, ​​Wang Lu has completely become Xue Xiao’s "fan girl". In her opinion, this "idol" is very inspirational, very grounded, and "must work overtime". "He has a kind of happiness in him." Factor, I’m very happy to go to work with him, so I like working days very much now, and I also accept overtime.”

has been a volunteer since freshman year and is now a public welfare activist

Although I usually laugh, I often get along with friends and colleagues. Playing around, but he also has something that he has been insisting on earnestly.

just entered the university campus, he signed up for five clubs and student union organizations, one of which is the volunteer department. "At that time, everyone went to the hospital together and played with the children with autism."

said, Xue Xiao still had something to worry about.

In May 2010, the 41st World Expo was held in Shanghai. He happened to be studying in Shanghai and was eager to try, and he signed up for volunteers online early. His wish at the time was to serve in the Sichuan Pavilion and introduce Sichuan to tourists. In order to better show his hometown to foreign tourists, he also practiced English hard. However, Xue Xiao did not find his name in the list of volunteers publicized by the school. “I learned later that I forgot to activate it on the official website and failed to register.” Although

had such a regrettable episode. After work, Xue Xiao's charity activities did not stop. In the current company, he has a job, which is charity service-every once in a while, he and his colleagues go to Hope Primary Schools, nursing homes and other places to send donated clothes, books, stationery, play games with children, and accompany the elderly. Chat and bring happiness to them.

"In the past, when I needed help most, all walks of life gave me great help andEncourage, now I have the ability, and do my best to help people who can help. "Xue Xiao said.

set a small goal to lose weight. Don’t want to be too stressed and do your best.

may be a "heart wide and fat" and Xue Xiao has not been thin. In high school, he also had 120 jin, and when he was in college, He has gained more than 40 kilograms. Xue Xiao, who has always been optimistic, didn’t care much about his weight at first, and was not at ease when he faced the occasional jokes of friends and colleagues. “Later, I really felt too fat was not good, so I decided to move. . "

Just last winter, Xue Xiao started to exercise. After a month, he lost 10 pounds. "This year, I hope to lose a little more. "Speaking of his plans for the future, Xue Xiao said this most concrete and real wish. When asked about how many catties he was planning to lose, Xue Xiao played with his "Xue-style humor" again, "I'll keep it private." , Otherwise so many people supervise, how much pressure. "
