11.100北京市都感到了震感.全国三分之一的地方都有震感.一条公里的8长米宽的巨大裂缝横穿房舍.马路和渠道.地上一些洞穴冒出了蒸,30汽.石头山变成了泥沙河，在可怕的十五秒内一座大城市就沉沦在一片废墟之中.人们遭受的灾难极为严重的人在地震中死亡或受伤..2/3成千上万个家庭遇难.许多小孩变成了孤儿.死伤人数到达了多40万.幸存的人怎么能相信这个是自然现象.人们无论朝哪里看，那里的一切几乎都被毁了.所有市内的医院的工厂和建筑物的,75%,90%家园都消失了.残石专就像秋天的红叶覆盖着大地.然而他们不可能被风吹走，两座大坝跨了.多数桥梁不是塌了就是无法完全通行了.铁轨如今变成了一条条废钢.好几万头牛再也挤不出奶来了万头.50猪和几百万头鸡全都死了.井里满是撒子而不是水，人们惊呆了，接着，在下午的晚些时候，又一次和第一次一样强烈的地震震撼着唐山，有些医生和救援人人员被困在废墟下面，更多发房屋倒塌了，水电和食物都很难弄到，人们开始纳闷这场灾难还会持续多久，不是所有的希望都破灭了，地震后不久，部队派了万名战士15到唐山来协助救援人员，数十万人得到了帮助，部分人员组成了小分队，将受困的人们挖出来，将死者掩埋，在唐山市的北边，有一个煤矿，其中万名矿工得救了，救援人员为那些家园被毁的幸存者盖起了避难所.用火车，卡车，和飞机向市内运来了水，慢慢地，这座城市又开始出现了生机。
