00 On May 24, Liao Bo, a student of Beichuan Middle School, Sichuan Province of south-central China, spent his 17th birthday in Nantong General Hospital, Chongqing. He was rescued from the rubbles of his school on May 13, and on 18th he was transfered to Chongqing to receive further treatment for his injury. He has lost his left crus in the deadly earthquake that so far has killed more than 60,000 Chinese folks, yet his mind remained so strong that he smiled through his hospitalization.030src#rxxd3vx02b9pw6c.jpgw550h405ohttp://i1.sinaimg.cn/dy/c/p/2008-05-25/U397P1T1D15612573F21DT20080525045739.jpg31src#rxwd4y0p2cnx0ws.jpgw300h430ohttp://photocdn.sohu.com/20080520/Img256962523.jpg32src#rrzwk9pqxrzn0kr.jpgw550h469ohttp://i2.sinaimg.cn/dy/c/p/2008-05-25/U2107P1T1D15612573F23DT20080525051420.jpg

0Note spelling of receive. There's a little rhyme to help you with that 'i before e, except after c'.02br

00 I wonder why both Brit and Yank couldn't understand the word crus, which is explained well in American Heritage English Dictionary:02br
00 Crus: The section of the leg or hind limb between the knee and foot; shank.02br
02br
00Should I have used "shank" instead of "crus" there, nona the brit?

0 Thank you for the information about Liao Bo. We are happy to hear he is doing better in spite of his serious injuries. The original photo of Liao Bo receiving the emergency drip is a powerful image. Sometime in the future you may wish to write more about these events.02br
00We do not use "crus" in normal conversation, and few people know this word. "Shank" is not so common either,
