在亲友们的见证下

走进了婚姻殿堂

嫁给了身高1.7米的小学同学

March 18, Yingxiu town, Wenchuan County, Sichuan, the “pocket teacher”, Tang Xingyue finished her wedding.

在她9岁那年，一场汶川地震让她的身高永远定格在1.3米，成为一个“袖珍姑娘”。2020年，汤星月大学毕业之后，成为一名音乐教师。2022年底，她辞职创业，从事艺体培训，“现在依然还是从事教师工作”，用自己的知识去回馈更多的人……

When she was 9 years old, she became a 1.3-meter- "pocket girl" due to theWenchuan earthquake. In 2020, after graduating from university, Tang became a music teacher. And she quit her job and started her own business in arts education at the end of 2022, "still working as a teacher.", using her knowledge to give back to the public...

地震受伤：她的身高停留在1.3米

汤星月出生于1998年10月，从小就喜欢音乐，爸爸、妈妈也很支持。2008年汶川地震时，还在映秀小学读五年级的汤星月埋在地下6个小时后被救出。因为髋关节脱位和脊椎受伤，她的身高停留在1.3米，成了“袖珍姑娘”。

Born in October 1998, Tang Xingyue has been a music lover since she was a child, and her parents were very supportive. When Wenchuan earthquake occurred in 2008, Tang, who was still in the fifth grade, was rescued after being buried underground for six hours. Because of her hip dislocation and spinal injury, her height was stuck at 1.3 meters, making her a "pocket girl”.

汤星月并没有因此放弃自己的音乐梦想，初中毕业以后，汤星月入读四川音乐学院附中，开始接受比较专业的音乐教育和培训。后来，她又通过努力被四川电影电视学院音乐表演专业破格录取。

After graduating from junior high school, Tang enrolled in the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, where she began to receive more professional music education and training. Later, she was admitted to the Sichuan Film and Television University for music performance.

走上讲台：“长大后我就成了你”

2020年7月，就读于音乐表演专业大四的汤星月开始毕业实习。她第一个电话联系了玉堂小学，因为玉堂镇离她在汶川的家近。不久，汤星月就收到了回复。考虑到实际情况，校长让她先教三、四年级。

In July 2020 when she was inher senior year, Tang started her graduation internship. She contacted Yutang Primary School first as Yutang town was close to her home in Wenchuan. Soon after, Tang received a reply. Considering her situation, the principal suggested her to teach 3rd and 4th grade first.

当年，抱着教材汤星月拍了一张自拍照，发朋友圈，“长大后我就成了你。”原来，小学时给汤星月音乐启蒙教育的，正是她的班主任，遗憾的是老师已经在2008年地震中遇难。

Back then, holding the textbook, Tang took a selfie and posted on social media, labelling "I become you when I'm grown up." It was her head teacher who gave her musical initiation in elementary school. Unfortunately, the teacher did not survive the earthquake.

此后，汤星月考取了教师资格证，成了一名合格的音乐教师。

After that, Tang obtained her teaching certificate and became a qualified music teacher.

2022年底，她从学校辞职后开始创业，从事艺体培训，“现在依然还是从事教师工作，只是工作环境变了。”

At the end of 2022, she resigned from the school and started her own business in arts education, "Now I’m still working as a teacher, only the working environment has changed."

喜结良缘：从同学到恋人

2019年，汤星月和小学同学舒亮重逢，他们自然地走到了一起。

In 2019, Tang Xingyue reunited with her elementary school classmate Shu Liang, and they fell in love.

今年2月4日，汤星月公布她和男友拍婚纱的照片。2月14日，两人到汶川县民政局领证。

On February 4 this year, Tang posted her wedding photos. On February 14, they went to Civil Administration Bureau of Wenchuan County to apply for marriage license.

“从同学到恋人，我们像彼此之间的礼物，不断给对方快乐和惊喜！”3月14日，汤星月发出喜帖。在亲友见证下，两人于3月18日在汶川映秀镇结婚，开启了人生的幸福大门。

"From classmates to lovers, we are like a gift to each other, constantly giving each other joy and surprise!" On March 14, Tang issued wedding invitations. In the presence of family and friends, the two got married on March 18 in Yingxiutown, opening the door to their happy life.

婚礼上，舒亮再次单膝跪地向汤星月求婚，感动所有亲友，也感动了汤星月，她说：“太多的人都不看好我们了，我们都熬过来了，我每次想放弃的时候，他都跟我说‘如果你都不理我，就没有人理我了’。”

At the wedding, Shu got down on one knee to propose to Tang again, touched all friends and relatives, also touched Tang. She said: "many people are not optimistic about us, but we have gotten through it. Every time I want to give up, he comforted me 'if you don't care about me, no one will care about". "

祝福这位坚强又乐观的姑娘！

Bless this strong and optimistic girl!
