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．

Yesterday I was shopping for a few items(物品)．With nothing to do at home, my son, who just left university, was ready to go together with me．
As I pushed the basket towards the register(收银机),I checked my items to see how many I had, thinking I might go to the Express Line(快速通道)where the sign said “Ten items or less”．
I started to go to that line and my son said, “Mon, you have twelve items!” I said, “You know, but they're close．” He said, “Why are you in such a hurry to get home? You should go to the Regular Line because you have over ten items．”
Knowing he was right．I agreed and then pushed the basket to the next line．So I was waiting for my turn there and I was just removing my items from the basket to pay for them when a young man came up behind me in line with two items．
I just left the Express Line because I had too many and now I really wanted to get finished．Again, my son came up．“Mom, he has only two items and the Express Line is very long now．Won't you just let him go first?”I agreed, and the young man smiled widely and thanked me several times．
It felt good to be with my son and have him remind me not to live a hurried life．Do what's right and also be kind．I really take pride in him．
