Man rescued in China 17 days after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake

A man has been rescued in China 17 days after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake killed 93 people.

Key points: The man was working at a hydropower plant when the earthquake struck on Sept. 5, and he was screaming for help and crying when he was found Wednesday morning rescuers say it was a miracle he survived in freezing temperatures and little food and water.

Gan Yu was found on Wednesday morning, weeks after the September 5 earthquake, which was the strongest to hit Sichuan Province in five years.

Villager Ni Taigao said that Mr. Gan was screaming for help and crying when he found him.

He lived on mountain spring water and wild fruits.

Mr. Gan remembers saying, “Is the government here? My name is Gan Yu, tell them I’ve been found.”

Rescuers said it was a miracle that Mr Jan, who was working at a hydropower plant when the quake struck, survived after suffering shortages of food and water and freezing temperatures.

The earthquake caused a landslide along the Wandong River, forming a dammed lake.

As the water level rose, Mr. Gan helped his colleague Lu Yu release water from the dam to protect the villages from flooding.

Mr. Gan and Mr. Luo stayed at the power plant waiting to be rescued. However, they left the next day due to fears that it might collapse.

They could not call for help because the signal was off, they had no food or water and chose to go their separate ways.

On September 8, after being trapped for 75 hours, Mr. Luo succeeded in attracting the rescuers’ attention.

Mr. Jan was taken to hospital for treatment after being rescued.

Huang Junhua, deputy chief medical officer of Luoding County People’s Hospital, said Mr Jean’s vital signs were stable, but he had multiple fractures of his ribs.

Dr Huang said Mr. Gan had also suffered from mediastinal emphysema and would need further investigations.
