I am not sure how much (if any) embellishment there was to the story of the boy walking with Tao Ming. But regardless, it caused Susan and I to well up a bit.
In case you missed it, the story was that the boy lost 20 out of his 30 classmates in the earthquake in May. After he was able to free himself, he went back to help extract his classmates. When asked why he did that, he replied simply, "because I am the room leader."
