Think of Others in Tough Times - Some Suffer More!

On the afternoon of May 12, 2008, just after the earthquake, about 100,000 people in a county were trapped in a mountain due to the collapse of a bridge. The Premier Wen Jiabao ordered the relief troops on phone:"No matter what, I want you to ensure these 100, 000 people are out of danger."

Here is the Chinese version:
不管怎么样,我都要这十万人脱险!
bù guăn zěn me yàng, wŏ dōu yào zhè shí wàn rén tuō xiăn!
Translation:
No matter what, I want you to ensure these 100,000 people are out of danger.
