暴雨红色预警下一家人的艰难撤离
The Wang family had never seen rain like this. For days, heavy downpours hammered their village in Chongqing, a sprawling city where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers meet. In early July, China's meteorological authority issued its first red alert of the year as torrential rains flooded many regions. On the night of July 3, Mr. Wang noticed the nearby river rising dangerously fast. Within hours, muddy water began pushing under the door of their single-story home.
The family—Mr. Wang, his wife, and their 10-year-old daughter—quickly packed essential documents, dry clothes, and their pet cat. Stepping outside, they saw streets transformed into roaring brown rivers. Rescue workers in bright orange vests were helping residents reach higher ground. The water soon rose to waist level, and the current was strong enough to sweep an adult off their feet. Clinging to each other, the Wangs followed the shouts of rescuers through the darkness, their hearts pounding with fear.
