At the same time, someone in the mall shouted: "Quickly escape, earthquake!" At that moment, people rushed toward the exit of the mall in panic. In the panic, some people's shoes were squeezed off, some people do not care about falling, rolling and crawling to escape. Wang Huani said, that moment in his mind only one thought: "find a way to escape, no matter what can not die."
After leaving the mall, everyone ran to the center of the empty street. Along with the strong tremor, you can see the traffic lights and billboards on the street shaking, around the "rumbling" sound, the buildings around the street as if they are "dancing", shaking buildings seem to collapse immediately, a time of smoke, dust, smoke rolled, this situation is not a good idea, but it is a good idea. The smoke and fumes were so thick that it lasted for about 30 seconds. In the face of sudden earthquakes, people seem very nervous and fear. Wang Huani told reporters: "Because I do not know how long the earthquake will last, when the short 30 seconds also makes people feel time is very long."
Until about 30 minutes later, the ground did not move, Wang Huani and colleagues followed the crowd toward the central square of the train station. It was around 3 p.m. on May 12, and there were already a lot of people gathered in the square. Subsequent frequent aftershocks tremor is still strong, people seem very sensitive, every time you feel the ground shaking, the square crowd will immediately stand up collectively, couples embracing together, family and friends are hand in hand, motivate each other to comfort. Due to the interruption of communication, the phone can not be reached, the news blocked, when Wang Huani and the scene of the same people, the mood of anxiety, do not know what to do. Soon after, the square train station radio broadcast one after another to broadcast the situation of some cities in Sichuan suffered an earthquake, some back to the people began to go to buy water and food.
May 12, around 7:00 pm, the sky gradually darkened, unfamiliar environment coupled with the fear of school teachers and students safety, Wang Huani and colleagues discussed, the two decided to take the bus back to the Southwest University of Science and Technology. Bus is very crowded, they consider, stay on the bus may be dangerous, and the road to the Southwest University of Science and Technology of the Cotton River Highway is spacious, even if the earthquake is not afraid of again, so they only sat half of the ride, get off and walk. Cab drivers passing along the way will stop and ask for a ride whenever they see a pedestrian. In a kind cab driver ride, they returned to school at about 8 p.m. on May 12th. Afterward, Wang Huani said, "I especially admire the bus and cab drivers in Mianyang City, who kept operating after the earthquake."
"The whole night without sleep"
On the way back to school, Wang Huani passed through the residential houses are not intact. Fortunately, after the earthquake, the vast majority of teachers and students in the school are safe to escape, only two students were killed (1 jumped from the building to escape death, a collapsed object smashed).

The whole night, we have no sleep, always alert to the earthquake happened again.
Since the earthquake, the school's logistics department has supplied free food to more than 20,000 students. Cafeteria cooks work all night, some in front of the cafeteria set up a number of pots to cook noodles for students, some wearing helmets in and out of the kitchen for the students to open the food. Wang Huani said, "Although the food is very simple, but everyone can sympathize."
The night temperature in Mianyang was only ten degrees, and when the students escaped, it was too late to bring any cold weather items, and most of them wore short shirts and shorts, and some were bare-chested. When the number of aftershocks is not so frequent, the ground tends to be stable, the school organized some of the student representatives back to the dormitory to get quilts and clothes. Before entering the dormitory, the teachers urged the students that they had to think clearly beforehand what items they were going to take and in what direction these items would be placed. Under the leadership and supervision of class teachers and counselors, the time for student representatives to go into the dormitory to get clothes should not exceed five minutes.
"As if a metamorphosis of life"

The phone in the province can not be reached, but can barely contact with the provinces, May 13, Wang Huani contacted his family in Nanning, reported the peace. Friends and relatives from all over the world also called to express their condolences. In order to avoid excessive power consumption, she received a call off a cell phone. Because she did not know what would happen later, she thought, "at least to keep a tool to contact the outside world". After the earthquake, as if life has had a metamorphosis, Wang Huani said, "At this moment, I especially want to be with my loved ones." She said she no longer cared about anything outside the body, as long as the survival is very lucky. After dealing with school affairs, Wang Huani will return to Nanning.
