Six-year-old boy wit to avoid danger from danger.
At the time of the earthquake, a 6-year-old boy was at home in Mojiang County. He made a correct and quick response, quickly escaped to a safe area, protected his own safety, and then got out of danger.
The monitoring screen shows that when the earthquake happened, the boy quickly got up from the sofa and ran to the included angle area not far away. At the moment when the child just finished hiding, a ceiling fell.

The boy said that the school will conduct emergency drills at the beginning of each year, and this time it is to avoid risks according to the situation of the drills. While affirming children’s risk-aversion behavior, experts also put forward some opinions.
Li Daogui, a senior engineer at the Seismological Bureau of Yunnan Province, said: "This (practice) is correct. The only shortcoming is that when he is hiding, he should have a hand held high to protect himself from being injured by falling objects."
According to experts, when encountering an earthquake, you should keep calm and escape calmly. In addition to drilling under the table and bed, you can also hide in the kitchen and toilet. In addition, if you are unfortunately buried by a collapsed building, you should calmly inspect the surrounding situation and consider ways to escape from danger according to local conditions. If you can’t get out of danger, save your strength and don’t blindly call for help and exercise. Pay attention to the surrounding situation quietly, find someone passing by, and attract their attention by calling for help or knocking on things in order to get out of danger.
