洪灾中的逆行者：重庆救援人员的24小时
On June 2, as the first red alert for rainstorms this year rang out across China, Chongqing found itself at the epicenter of nature's fury. Since May, five relentless waves of rainfall had pummeled the region, triggering flash floods and landslides that swallowed roads and homes.

Among them was Zhang Wei, a 34-year-old veteran with a decade of service in the mountainous terrain of southwestern China. When his shift began at 6 a.m., the rain was already hammering the station's metal roof like a drumroll.

Zhang's team donned orange life vests and plunged into the waist-deep torrent, guiding a rubber boat through streets turned to rivers.
