After the earthquakes a few months ago in Chengdu, a group of Russians were working with local Chinese emergency services as volunteers to dig for survivors. One survivor, when he was found, saw the green eyes of his rescuer and reportedly said:
"Ta ma de, zhe dizhen zhen xiong, ba wo zhen dao wai guo lai le!"
Apropos of very little, but it made me smile. Thanks to Yu for the story.
