I loved how in a specific clip, a woman rushed to her baby at the same time as her older mother rushed to her. No matter the age, you always go to protect your child... Even once they have children of her own.
It actually seemed like she was ready to protect both the small child and it's mother. Just wow
That is what I was thinking too! Gra ndma was about to risk herself or even die for the both of them if needed ❤️😭.
Those are her babies
You made cry
My parents do the same, last earthquake my child and I ended up between them. Honesty it was sobering to realise they were trying to cover us, and terrifying.
Wow! My Tears suddenly fell after reading this comment
The girl that carried her sick grandma. Now thats a real wonderwoman ✊️
Yes she pick her up like nothing
@@anunknownperson4018 i mean, the grandma probably very light weight given how thin she look. my guess is around 35-40kg

@@HoaTruong-km9rk and as said she is her grandma that girl must be young too
I love that the older mother went to her adult baby while the adult “baby” went for her actual baby. Mothers!!!

My deepest respect to those who really protect their loved ones.
And my deepest sympathy to the victims..
🙏
i left my dog in charge of the cat and ran outside. somebody's gotta man the fort in case a thief comes in.
This reminded me of the one time when an earthquake hit our school and we were all taken to school's playfield and then all parents came early to pick their children but my twin brother and I were the last ones to stay and when our mom came she's like 'why you guys staring at me like that I'm on time to pick u up from school', I literally died due to laughter. (Btw she didn't notice the earthquake happening that's why she never rushed to get us)
Congrats on so many likes, I’m ur 1.8 thousandth like
It’s just natural instincts
Mayor respect to that kid who dragged out him mom! It's truly impressive at how quickly he assessed the situation and went to get her. It's great that these children have drills to get as high of a survivability rate during natural disasters. My heart goes out to those that were not able to make it to another day
You mean major?
Wow. That woman carrying out her grandmother brought tears to my eyes. What a hero.
Everyone talking about the mother and child one but what about the grandmother one? The Granddaughter carrying your grandma is so beautiful and I wish she live long enough, the same to the child in the Hospital.
That one was the most beautiful.
Right!? I teared up at the one!
That one made me tear up.
That one made me emotional 🥺
carrying grandmother was so touching very rare
The scene of the teachers running is heart warming
Made me cry, you can see their panic and concern for the children.
Ya
@@janellewilson6417 You can see they know their duty.
Nope
Totally badass people, I had goosebumps watching them climbing the stairs
I am in awe of woman who carried her grandmother so effortlessly.
I love how the mother is hugging her daughter and at the same time the daughter is hugging her baby for protection ❤️😭❤️
There's nothing better in this life than people helping and protecting others
Yeah, China is the model for that statement……. *NOT*
and at the same time, spoiling the earth.
@@Todsor not related but yeah
@@Elika12345 Just a sarcasm. But honestly, people should drop their "collective ego" before there is nothing left to drink or eat.
I must put I like on your comments to make it 667 !
The boy that ran UP the stairs as everyone was fleeing down the stairs to save his mom was so heartwarming ❤️
Exactly 😭
and the mom was like "wat..."
And he had to persuade her to exit the property.....she could have killed her son
Yes.
Yeah but the another one walking casually like nothing happening😂😭0:44
The little boy who went to drag his mum out of the house just melted my spirit. What's the definition of love?
Seeing those teachers scatter and rush to protect the children just hit me in the heart idk why I just started tearing up.
I have such respect for all these people. They know exactly what to do and do so without unecessary panic. It certainly puts things into perspective.
No they don't
You never go outside
@@SundayCookingRemix u stay in buildings during earthquake....wow nice advice
@@SundayCookingRemix ok so your saying
There's a earthquake and possibility of the literal building getting damaged and falling apart so why not just stay in the building and wait to be smashed to death by debris?
Yea right..... Nice advice 😀
@@Eimimiii I thought this too, but then I thought about it. Earthquakes are frequent in China, so I’d assume they’d purposely build their buildings in a certain way in order to prevent them from falling and to withstand earthquakes as much as possible. Inside your home, they are shelfs, cabinets, all sorts of things that could crush you. For example, at 0:39 . I understand why they’d tell their citizens to get outside to an **open area** where there are less things that could possibly fall on you. Like a park, or the playground those kids were in.
I love how people instinctively protect their loved ones. That is what makes us human.
Mothers will love their kid but that boy who pulled his sister really hit me hard. It's great to see he cared for her safety as much as his own. His parents should be proud.
Such an underrated comment ❤
Chinese people are strong "FAMILY" PEOPLE.. as a culture
The brother and sister part warmed my heart the most for me..
It took me back to 2020 when I was just playing with my baby sister when my mom was showering. Knowing I have stronger senses than my other siblings and relatives that are currently in the house that moment, I felt something was off.
I moved closer to where my siblings are and tried to keep my palm on the floor to get better senses of what I was feeling. I was right, not long after that a small quake happened only in parts in and nearby my neighborhood. This quake is relatively small but definitely not weak.
It shook the entire house and my natural instinct was just to shield my siblings with whatever I have, even if it's my own body (knowing I'm way bigger than them, I can shield them all 3 at once).
Sounds a lil crazy but the platform of my roof collapsed right in the room I was in. I was in the part where the shards of the platform could get me, but I covered my siblings so they won't get hurt.
It left a few scars on my back. It is permanent I suppose, but atleast I'm still alive as well as my siblings.
You are a hero.
Sure.
You should be very proud of yourself
Im so proud of you 👏 ❤
*applause* 👏👏👏
IN MY VIEW
The boy running into his home to get his mother was heartwarming. When she stopped at the doorway he went back to grab her pulling her out of danger. The mother lifting her frail grandmother and carrying her out to safety was equally amazing. Humanity does exist because we care.
0:56 That boy transformed from a kid to an adult in just a second.
For real!
Lol i thought it was a teen
Bro had puberty in the wrong time
@@KentaQFunny.😊
Bravo also the boy who pulled his shocked mom out of their apartment. A very responsible child.
Bless that woman that carried her sick grandmother away. So sweet!
A father and mother’s love is truly special.
A mother's love for her child/children is something that you can't trade anything in the world for. Sometimes we tend to underestimate their capacities or we don't appreciate them enough for all the sacrifices they've done just to raise us all the best they could along with our fathers.
mhm, sometimes i feel like i could do more for my parents.
Not always with our fathers 💀
@@phenixtechyt Wdym? Fathers can also be protective to his children. Infact father has to take care both his wife and children at the same time and it is his duty to do so. I dunno about son-father relationship but I have seen fathers spoiling his daughter much. Mothers are much more on the neutral zone tbh.
@@KingstonTiger The key word is "not always"
@@phenixtechyt same goes for both.
What a brave mother, she could have sacrificed her own life, I’m glad she’s okay, this is called a true parent
Something falls on the mother and she crushes the kid with her bodyweight
If only more mothers were like her this world would be a much better place!
نعم مريح جدا انك تجد الحب في مساعدة الآخرين والخوف والحرص عليهم من اجل ان يبقو معنا
@@dvb8637 most mothers are like her, the issue is the lack of fathers
The people who didn't even think of themselves for a second and saved their loved ones are truly heaven sent.
The thing about Chinese people that amazes me is that they have trained kids so well as to how to act in emergency situations. Rather that panicking and crying they act fast and even take care of elderly. I pray every one is safe 🙏
it's a mandatory training for students once a year, after 2008 earthquake
I salute everyone of them. Specially those who are taking care of children and elderly. I remember this July when the mag. 7 happen in the Philippines, I carried my father kind of like involuntarily, because I am the one who has been taking care of him.
so you said you INVOLUNTARILY have to carried you dad ?
@@HoaTruong-km9rk It's kind of a fight or flight response, reaction happened so fast, that's what I meant by involuntary. Yes I carried him with my 40 kilos body. It
This brought tears to my eyes. Especially the mother and the baby who was sick.
All of them are heroes, my condolences to the lives that were lost 😞
The mother protecting her daughter and grandchild. I lost it when the Granddaughter carried her Grandmother. That was beyond beautiful.
That kid running for his mom and dragging her out is so cute
As someone who never experienced earthquakes before as they don't occur in my area, I cried watching this video. Very touching, I hope all of them got out safely.
You are lucky. I hate earthquakes... it is frequent in our region. Sometimes gives me anxiety and I can't sleep at night.
Where you live?
Respect to you people of China. Selem from Algeria 🙏
The baby on the shoulder down the stairs was so adorable lol. His head was just bobbling
rhe scene with all the teachers was very heartwarming
none of the children were related to them (i suppose) yet they all ran up the stairs with visible anxiety and woke them up as fastly as they could
Mothers will always be there for us, while friends might leave us, our parents will always be there for us, and I can tell that the mother will love this baby unconditionally, even though the kid won't remember any of this.
Yes that why appercient ur family first before ur friend..in my culture we have this popular Qoutes “when u dead ur family will cry harder..ur friend will cry to but not harder than ur family”
Yep. My son was in the hospital for a month when he was born. I stayed by his side for every second.
It's crazy how unconditionally and strongly you can feel that need to protect your own.
If you’re lucky. Not everyone gets a loving mother
What you said made me shed my tears remembering my Mom and Dad who already passed away.
Too much generalisation. Parents will probably die before their children so they can't be always there for you. Parents' love isn't unconditional. Most of the time, parents love their children as long as they benefit from it.
It happened for me. 45 years ago , we were at war with Iraq. I, 24 years old, laying on hospital bed after a surgery , connected to 1 million divices, unable to escape. Suddenly woke up feeling my mother curving on top of me, hugging me , crying. I was not aware about what had been happening because of the strong painkillers that I had taken and then I heard the bombing sound from outside and learned my mother had not gone to bombing shelter, staying for me. I am happy this baby is too little to understand the situation.
I hope you are doing alright. That is a lot to go through ❤
@@Industryworth 🌹🌹 Thank you
This is the love of a mother at its finest.
Please charge my phone
@@Theguywithspectacles bruh 😂
@@Humanjerry 🙂
Some say its instinct to protect your loved ones and family, but i say it's all about love. When you love someone or something you would do anything to protect them. Love is more powerful than anything in this world, that's why we should love one another! Love can conquer all evil! Keep on loving each other and our world would be a better place to live!! Hope everyone made it to safety! Much love from CT, USA!!!
Well said. I'd agree that it's not exactly instinct. Or maybe the love powers the instinct? I dunno, but I feel you're right.
Indeed, I hope they made it out safely
Ask for consent first because the receiving party may not see it as "love"
@@extremepsyche3135 "Excuse me, may I have your verbal consent to guide you out of this building during this life or death situation?"
It’s instinct to protect people you love and care about. Instinct just means you do it without thinking, it’s natural. I don’t pause to think to protect my loved ones, my body just moves on it’s own to do what’s needed to protect my loved ones-friends and family.
Mothers are such precious heroes. I hope one day I can become half as great woman like my momma.
The one of the little boy rushing his little sister to safety is especially heartwarming
The lady who carried her sick nan, I see you, you are amazing
In this world, nothing can beat the love of a mother for her child.
Aa Really brought home how bad the situation is when the guy at the end expressed gratitude for simply having enough space to stand up inside his shared apartments....
Awesome 😎
I feel like a king 🤴 now in 600 sqf apartment, I could never live in Hong Kong under those conditions 😐. Poor people, the government should change their policies.
yes, agreed
Hmm 🧐
We see complains here and there on social media ,from different people in different parts all around the world
My favourite one was the boy protecting his little sister. Sibling power!
I shed tears of sadness seeing how all these people are making sure their loved ones are protected and guided out of harm’s way!
•the granddaughter who carried her sick grandmother
•the mother whose first thing was to cover her sick daughter with her body and calmly reassured her with soothing pats
•a young brother who didn’t forget his little sister
•a nanny who cared about her job and took responsibility
•a little boy who ensure his mother’s safety
•teachers who make sure children are the first priority and are safe
•a husband who encircled his family with his arms
•etc
Natural disaster cannot be guaranteed, but families and loved ones are the top priority.
The clip where the (I assume) the grandmother grabbed the mother as the mother grabbed the baby and they both hunkered down at the same time is very heartwarming, and slightly funny because they had the same idea at the exact same time. Glad theyre ok, and hope they have a long future together.
She picked up her grandmother like it was nothing 😳 When that adrenaline kicks in.
This is what pay internet for. With the world full of fight and hatred, this warm my heart. And my deepest condolences to all the victims and their families.
The passion of one to a parent. Can never be broken to a child
I gave my child to a stranger on the street 🤣
@@victoriaregina8344 are u proud?
Very!
@@victoriaregina8344 What country would that work in?
@@Evija3000 any!
This is heartbreaking esp for the baby who is currently admitted and the grandma too.. Protect your people, Lord. Amen
I loved that kid who dragged his mother down the stairs and that young brother who protected his sister
Mothers who ran to safety carrying their child are great!
Greater are those who carried the invalid old folks despite the weight and size! 😍
True when she carried that old grandma i was getting teary🥲
Nothing more special than a Mother's Love❤
I am a mom of 4 year's one- and i can admit - it's an instinct. I can recognize a cry of my baby among all the kids. The only one thing i want say- i wish no baby needs to be protected! I wish all that innocent, fragile, small creatures were safe and healthy all over the world!
I’m always so amazed by how unified most Asian cultures seem to be. They are so protective of one another, even the children learn this at a young age. They even protect complete strangers. We could learn so much from them. I’m so sorry for the loss of their loved ones.
Nothing beats the love of a mother. Even knowing she herself was in danger she prioritised protecting her baby. She is an awesome and great mother.
1:16 Y'all the best, but this one impressed me the most.
The nanny carrying the baby down all those stairs 😭❤️ everyone in the video did amazing
The one who carried their grandmother get me emotional
It makes me remember, the day when a deadly earthquake hit Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 2006. It was early morning (approximately 6 AM West Indonesia Time), and I was still asleep. My mom shouts out loud to me from our yard. Firstly, I wake up and notice my room swung so hard. I hardly noticed it at first, but seconds later I ran away safely.
Nothing was destroyed in my neighborhood, since I lived in the Southern part of East Java. The epicenter is hundreds of kilometers away from my home, but it is so deadly that I can feel it too.
I was in Solo when that earthquake happened and was still asleep too. Fortunately nothing was damaged, but it left a lasting impression on me, it was the first time I felt an earthquake that big.
I live in Yogyakarta and i was taking a shower. The door lock jammed during the earthquake so i failed to get out and used the time to get dressed inside the bathroom while praying for the earthquake to stop before anything bad happened 😅
Parents's love can never be measured ✨❤️
Very true, even grandparents and grandchildren love bn each other can not be smashed.
I’m tearing up a lot right now. May those families have all been able to make it out safely.
The nanny and the lady who carried her grandma😘😘 this is some of the situations where humanity is evident
There is no stronger warrior in this universe than a Mother 🙏🏼
It’s heartwarming to see so much love in this clip in a world of much negativity and depression..😢😌
Moms are the absolutely the best.
Their love and affection to their dear ones, touched my heart! Love and respect From Bangladesh! 🇧🇩 I hope they are fine !
every child is a treasure worth dying for.
I am tearing up looking at this especially the part were the teachers got up super fast to run to the children.
Those were all so touching but when that girl carried her grandmother I cried.
Don’t make me cry… I feel for family members (people who care for each other, which would include those teachers) who experienced this.
RIP for those victims. Great video of showing human courage especially mothers to their children.
the way those teachers run to the kids, it shows their genuine concern for their students.
I don't know why but when the kindergarten teachers ran to wake up the toddlers made me tear up a bit.
The kindergarden has to be the one the most wholesome the teachers ran
Hopefully the missing people will be found and the little baby’s are safe
Love from qatar
Respect to those people who really try to save their loved ones 🔥🗿
I love how that sweet girl help poor sick grandma. I can't stop crying while watching this video. Because this part of video reminded me about that one little child who loss one leg. He was crawling to cross road but suddenly a bike come. I ran to child and picked it from being accident.
🥲🥲🥲
Thank you very much for this video. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
0:49 caring his mom.
Yes...the way he was pulling his mother...he could have left mother in the room and escape as we expect from a kid but he didn't
So kind these people love their kids that bro was so kind he saved his sister’s life
We can learn something from this video. They all helped each other in the best way they can. The parents helping their kids, children helping parents, teachers helping their kids to safety. Happy to see everyone is ok 💖💖 🙏🏾🙏🏾
U can see how Chinese affection in that 3 people footage... Granny protects mum, mum protects daughter... Mannn that's nature
The baby that carried by his nanny.... He is so cute!!!!
Every mother does this! It's mother's instinct. The 3 generation one is 👍👍👍 Grandma hugging her daughter, who's hugging her baby.
There were so many people that helped their families to get somewhere safe! May the 74 victims rest in peace and may the 14 missing be found safely.
as a kid, i lived in california so earthquakes were common. i didn't remember that my dad used to do tbis for me as well until i saw this 🥰
earthquakes got very unscary after the sixth one but there's just something about the way the ground moves that's just very very wrong.
Anything below 5 magnitude can be ignored. But when it is over 5, it starts to become dangerous.
If you still have a mother hug Her everyday, don't take her for granted.
There will come days when she won't be there for you, and you will find the world is a darker and colder place.
😢
The LOVE of a MOTHER .. unconditional and irreplaceable ❤️🙏❤️
No matter what age, they protected their children and I loved that. The boy who went to get his mom and their brother who got his little sister also made me smile. As one of the mothers protected their child, the father not only helped protect the baby but also his wife. It was also really sweet to see the (I believe) the daughter pick up her mother.
They are so brave to protect others
And my deepest sympathy to the victims
Man that's relatable. There are times when we really love someone we'd sacrifice our body to keep them protected and unharmed as much as possible. That feeling...man.
So heartwarming, seeing countless mothers,caregivers, even kids protecting their siblings& mothers..🥺🥰
1:17 I am crying. The brave granddaugher hold up his eldly grandmother without hesitation.
I seriously love this People💗
You don't love me
They are taught at an early age to always think of others feelings before themselves….none of their actions surprise me but still make me cry…hugs loves and prayers people !
Wow! That is a very less amount of deaths fir a place as populated as China
Happy to see the people being aware of safety measures in such situations
👍
The great love is mother Love.😘
Using their bodies as protection for who they love is outstanding bravery.
I absolutely shed a few tears, this is emotional. 😢😭😭
