Wang Ling was on her way home after school on 2 April when she saw a traffic accident near her home. A van hit a bus. There were 28 people on the bus. In a few seconds,the bus was on fire.

Soon the firemen arrived and they got on the burning bus. They broke the windows and helped the people get out. Then they sprayed water onto the bus. Suddenly,Wang Ling heard someone shouting inside the bus. Everyone was busy at that time and no one heard the sound. Without thinking,Wang Ling jumped onto the bus. She found an old man. A seat was on his legs and he could not move it.

Wang Ling tried to move the seat. Her shoes were on fire. She cried for help. The firemen heard Wang Ling's cry and helped her and the old man out of the bus. The old man broke his leg,but he was happy that he was still alive.

A few months later,the old man recommended Wang Ling for the Bravery Medal.
