洪水中的坚守：救援者与灾民的故事
China issued its first red alert of the year as torrential rains continued to pummel vast regions, triggering devastating floods and landslides. Since May, five consecutive rounds of heavy rainfall have battered the country, inundating homes, severing transport links, and forcing thousands to flee. Beneath the dramatic headlines, however, lie the human stories—of rescue workers who wade through chest-deep water and evacuees who have lost everything but their resolve.
In Chongqing, where the Jialing River burst its banks and submerged entire neighborhoods, emergency crews have been working around the clock. A firefighter with over a decade of flood rescue experience describes the relentless pace, noting that teams have been operating on adrenaline for days to extract residents from rooftops and upper floors. Using inflatable boats to navigate streets turned into rivers, they face hidden currents and submerged debris that pose constant dangers. Yet, each successful rescue renews their determination to press on.
