Monday was China's traditional“Tomb-Sweeping Day”, when people mourn(哀悼)their dead．But it also became a day for national celebration, when rescuers saved 115 workers who were trapped for more than a week in the flooded Wangjialing Coal Mine in Shanxi province．
“It's a miracle(奇迹),”Liu Dezheng told reporters on Monday morning after the first nine miners(矿工)were taken out shortly after midnight．“We believe more miracles will happen．”
At about noon, rescuers carried out the second group of 106 survivors(幸存者)．The survivor clapped his hands and tried to reach for his rescuers in an expression of joy．Both Shanxi Governor Wang Jun and State Administration of Work Safety Director Luo Lin called the rescue“a miracle”in the history of China's coal mine rescues．
The trapped miners survived underground with the encouragement of thinking of their families．They live through eight days and eight nights by getting sawdust(锯末), tree bark(树皮)and turbid(混浊的)water for food．
One survivor said that he had to hang from tunnel walls by his belt(腰带)to survive when the disaster came．After being in the water for three days, he climbed into two passing mine carts(矿车)with eight other men and floated to a dry place．
A rescue team on an inflatable boat(橡皮艇)threw lifelines(救生索)to the trapped men after realizing that the boat could not move any further．Once the survivors found themselves in the boat, Wang said he was asked whether he would take them out．“I promised them that they would be lifted out as long as I could get out,”Wang said．
After being rescued, one of the survivors told doctors he wanted to call his family．“I have two daughters and a son．I have to work in the mine to earn money for them,”said another 45-year-old survivor who was taken to the Shanxi Aluminium Plant Hospital, which admitted(接纳)35 survivors from the mine．The hospital is among five local ones treating the workers．
“It's great to be up on the surface again,”said one 27-year-old survivor．

One day a man found a cocoon(茧)of a butterfly in the forest．He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly．Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole．Then it seemed to stop making any progress．It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further．
So the man decided to help the butterfly．He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come our easily．But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon．
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly．But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬)around with a heavy body and small wings．It was never bale to fly．
The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules．Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid(流体)from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying．It must have a hard struggle(拼搏)to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon．
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life．If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail．We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly．
