Wei Ling is 23 years old and a native of Hanwang Town, Mianzhu. When the Wenchuan earthquake occurred, a teaching building at Hanwang Dongqi Middle School collapsed. 48 hours later, Wei Ling, a sophomore in high school, was dug out from the rubble. Wei Ling stayed in the hospital for more than three years and underwent more than 30 major and minor surgeries, including 17 amputations, making her the person with the most amputations in the world.

She learned painting in the ward and held her own personal exhibition in the ward. She was hailed as "China's Frida" by Zhou Chunya. In the past, when reporters interviewed her, she would take off her prosthetics in front of you. The left trouser leg that had been amputated was empty. When he was talking happily, he twisted the trouser leg into a twist shape with his hands and shook it back and forth. She would laugh so loudly that she could be seen crouching over her wheelchair laughing until she was breathless.

Wei Ling, known as the earthquake girl, did not leave the hospital completely until 2011. High amputation, according to her, "cutting and cutting", 17 amputation surgeries. In the beginning, my father had to sign the critical illness notice every day. If infected, cut it off; if it becomes infected again, cut it off again. A cast was put on from waist to leg, and one dressing change was like having my whole body cut open. Once, due to a dressing change, she suffered a sudden massive hemorrhage and her heart rate dropped to 5 beats per minute. Doctors from West China Hospital of Sichuan University used 30,000cc of blood to bring her back from the brink of death. Others have been discharged from the hospital, but I am still receiving critical illness notices.
