重庆洪水：一位消防员的彻夜救援
When China's meteorological authority issued the first red alert of the year, it was a signal that no one in Chongqing could ignore. Torrential rains had been pounding the region for days, swelling rivers and turning streets into rivers. For Chen Ming, a 32-year-old firefighter with the Chongqing Emergency Rescue Brigade, the alert meant he would not be going home that night.
As dusk fell, Chen and his team were dispatched to a cluster of villages in the hills outside the city center. The rain was so heavy that visibility was near zero, and the roads were quickly becoming impassable. "We need to get them out before the water rises further," Chen thought as the rescue vehicle plowed through knee-deep water. Upon arrival, they found dozens of villagers, many of them elderly, stranded on rooftops or second floors, their faces etched with fear and exhaustion.
