A Chinese school, shored up by its principal, survived where others fell

SANGZAO, China: The students lined up row by row on the outdoor
basketball courts of Sangzao Middle School in the minutes after the
earthquake. When the head count was complete, their fate was clear: All
2,323 were alive.

Parents covered in blood and dust hugged them. Everyone cried. So did
the school principal, Ye Zhiping.

"That was the single most joyful thing," he said.

Given that about 10,000 other children were crushed in their classrooms
during the devastating quake on May 12, the survival of so many students
in Sangzao counts as a minor miracle.

Students and parents credit that to "Angel Ye."
