First act
Venue: In a bright classroom, several rows of desks are arranged neatly, and there is a podium with chalk and an eraser on it.
Characters: Miro, Chen Luyan, Yu Qing, Su, teacher and some other students.
Time: There is a big white clock in front of the classroom, which clearly points to 1: 50.
It was an ordinary day, an ordinary afternoon, at least until now. Before the teacher arrived, the students were talking nonsense before class as usual.
Sue: Hey, you know what? I saw many ants yesterday!
Jeremy: Go, I thought you saw Jay Chou. I'm so excited!
Y: Yes, ants! There are many in the garden downstairs of our house. You want to see it, I'll give you a nest tomorrow.
Sue: No, no, I mean I see many ants on my computer desk. It's too dark for me to get rid of them.
Chen: Did you steal something good and forget to clean it up? Otherwise how can there be so many followers!
Y: That's right. You, if there is something delicious, would rather invite ants than invite us. No, you have to treat us to dinner after school! Yes, Luo! Turning to Milo, she finds herself staring blankly at the window instead of paying attention to herself, so she gives her nose a naughty twist. ) Are you listening to me? Who do you miss?
Jeremy: (pushes away) I'm thinking something strange.
Sue: What's this?
Jeremy: Recently, my right eyelid has been jumping. I feel as if something is going to happen, but I can't say it.
Sue: So something strange happened to you, too. How's it going? Now you believe me! I said I met a lot of strange things these two days. You can either call me a braggart or dismiss it. Now Milo has met, you should believe it! What does this mean? Great minds think alike!
Chen: Didn't you have a good rest these two days? I watched it a little late some time ago, and my eyelids will jump badly the next day. You'd better rest more!
Michelle Obama: Maybe, thanks! The teacher is coming, stop talking. (The teacher slowly steps onto the platform)
Old: in class
Everybody: Hello, teacher.
Old: Hello, classmate (sit down). Before class, I want to ask you a question. What is your understanding of life? Let's speak actively. (Hands up below) Hmm! Ok, Chen Luyan, let's talk about it.
Chen: Teacher, I think life is an objective entity. This entity still has a certain ideology. Only under the control of this ideology can we start all kinds of behaviors.
Lao: Well, it's good. Even philosophy is used. Actually! Many people have put forward their own understanding of life. Of course, we can't generally say whose understanding is correct and whose understanding is wrong. Because everyone has their own reasons, we should feel every feeling with our heart. Next, I'd like to invite a classmate to read Zhang Xiaofeng's "Fear of Life" for us, so that we can feel the realm of life in her mind. Hmm! (looking at the roster) Milo, ok, read it!
Fear of life, Zhang Xiaofeng. It was the longest afternoon in summer, by a lake in Indiana. At first, I sat reading casually, and suddenly I found some white fibers floating around the lake, like cotton, some floating on the grass and some floating into the lake. I didn't care too much at that time, but it was brought by the accidental wind. But ... (The building began to shake violently, and even the clock hanging on the wall fell. Everyone panicked, screamed and started to walk around, but after only a few seconds, it was gone, and suddenly it was dark. )
Act ii
Location: under the ruins of the classroom
Characters: Miro, Su, Chen Luyan, Yu Qing
Sue: (stands up) Where is this? Why is it so dark? My head hurts! (Touching his side, Chen hesitates)
Sue, Sue.
Michelle Obama: Hello? Is anyone still there?
Chen: Did you hear that? Sounds like Milo's voice
Sue: Where is it?
Michelle Obama: Hello? Is anyone still there?
Sue: Yes! Yes! Is that Milo?
Michelle: (excitedly) Yes, is that Sue? Who else are you with? What's the situation over there?
Sue: I have Chen Luyan with me. We're all fine. What about you?
Michelle Obama: I still have Qing Yu here, but she seems to be hurt. Her arm was covered with blood.
Chen: Did you dress her up?
Jeremy: I want to, but I don't know where her wound is. She has been in a coma until now!
Chen: Then tie her armpit tightly first to stop the bleeding.
Michelle Obama: OK (I put my handkerchief under my arm, and I seem to have a feeling because of the sharp pain)
Y: water ...
Michelle Obama: I feel it. She spoke.
Chen: What did she say?
Michelle Obama: Water, water, where is the water? Here it is. I found it.
Chen: Don't give him water.
Sue: What are you talking about? She will die if she doesn't drink water like this now.
Chen: It will kill you. People who have just lost too much blood are not allowed to drink water.
Y: water, water, I'm so thirsty! Give me water.
Jeremy: (sobbing slightly) Be patient. I'll treat you to juice and coke after going out. Hold on.
Y: I can't. My body seems to have melted.
Jeremy: No, no, don't say that. I can feel that we can definitely get out. Don't you have a lot of delicious food? We are going to have dinner together!
Y: No ... I'm ... sorry ... it's ... it's unlucky.
Michelle Obama: Yes, believe me, you always say you are a lucky star! How can Fuxing die!
Jade: Fu … Fu Xing will have … bad luck, Milo, where are you? I am so cold.
Michelle Obama: I am here, I am here.
Y: Milo, I really can't. (Hands slightly raised) I ... Grandpa came to pick me up. He ... he asked me to ... go to a good ... good place. (Hands down)
Man: (sad) Yu Qing! Qing Yu! (Crying) Jade Qing!
Sue: Don't cry. We are already in danger, and we are not qualified to mention other people's sadness.
Jeremy: (wiping tears) No, we will definitely go out. I still have water here, and we will definitely have a chance to go out. Besides, jade Qing has gone, and I don't want to lose any of us. Do not give up hope.
Sue: In normal times, I'm afraid I would jump with excitement, but now that you say so, I only feel more sad after listening to it. (want to cry)
Everyone stopped talking and started a long wait.
Act iii
Location: under the ruins of the classroom
Characters: Miro, Chen Luyan, and Su (the characters are gaunt and messy) ambulance personnel.
The long wait is painful, especially under the double troubles of darkness and hunger. They didn't sleep for three whole days, and everyone was waiting, but this kind of waiting seemed to be in vain, because no one had found them for three days.
Sue: I'm dying. I'm really falling apart. It's been three days, let alone people. Even my electronic watch is going on strike.
Chen: Yes! It's been three days. Why hasn't anyone come yet? Aftershocks, large and small, have made this wall begin to tilt. At this rate, even if we can recruit people, I'm afraid this wall can't get through.
Michelle Obama: Wait a minute. We have survived for three days. How can you give up at this time? Do not give up. Believe me, my feelings will always be accurate, and someone will come to save us soon.
Sue: I hope so too. I don't want to die in this place I’m going home. I promise I won't do anything bad again. I will study hard and honor my parents.
Jeremy: I miss home, too. I miss my parents, brothers and sisters, friends, classmates and Yu … (I want to say Qing Yu, but I suddenly remembered something and stopped)
Chen: Everyone is having a hard time now! Cheer up, we have to get out! Don't you have a lot of people to see?
Sue: Yes. (Tick-tock, the electronic watch reminds me again) The fourth day has passed, and another day has passed! How long do we have to wait? How long can I last?
Jeremy: You all have to hold on. Don't worry. At this time, there was another very strong aftershock, and the wall finally fell down. Sue just rang and nothing happened, but Chen Luyan's body was seriously injured. )
Michelle Obama: Chen Luyan, Chen Luyan, how are you?
Chen: I'm fine. I just scraped my skin.
Michelle: How about Sue? How is he? Why doesn't he talk?
Chen: He is a little tired and doesn't want to talk. You don't have to ask
Michelle Obama: Are you really okay? Why do I have a hard time listening to you?
Chen: Nothing, why should I be! You still don't believe me!
Michelle Obama: Good. If you leave again at this time, I really don't know how to stick to it.
Chen: You must insist. I thought you said not to give up hope.
Michelle Obama: Yes! Hold on to hope. We must all hold on to hope.
Chen: Hmm! Hold on to hope. (deep voice)
Just as they were about to give up hope, there came the sound of drilling holes with electric drills and some faint shouts.
Is there anyone down there?
Michelle Obama: Listen, Chen Luyan, someone is coming.
A: There are people here. Come and help!
Jeremy: Chen Luyan, we are saved, Chen Luyan, Chen Luyan. The other party didn't answer, and then the familiar tick of the electronic watch rang again.
