Make every effort to cope with the flood situation and pay tribute to the protective force in the wind and rain

Recently, heavy rainfall has continued to occur in many parts of the south. Floods and geological disasters have occurred in Guangdong, Fujian and other places, causing casualties and property losses, which has caused concern to the people.

Faced with the severe disaster, from the central government to local governments, all efforts were made to prevent floods and provide disaster relief, actively search and rescue missing and trapped people, relocate and resettle the affected people, and urgently allocate relief supplies to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and the stability of the overall social situation.

On June 17, in response to floods and geological disasters in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, the Office of the National Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Relief Committee, the Ministry of Emergency Management, and the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration urgently allocated 10,000 household emergency kits to fully support local authorities in resettling and rescuing the affected people.

On June 18, the Office of the National Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Relief Committee and the Ministry of Emergency Management urgently launched a coordinated government-society guarantee mechanism for emergency materials, based on the allocation of 40,000 pieces of central disaster relief supplies to the drought-stricken areas in the north and flood-stricken areas in the south. Based on local disaster relief needs, they coordinated enterprises to donate more than 500,000 food and other daily relief supplies to flood-stricken areas such as Guangdong, and fully supported local governments in ensuring the basic living needs of the affected people.

On June 18, the National Development and Reform Commission arranged an investment of 130 million yuan from the central budget to support the emergency restoration of damaged schools, hospitals, water conservancy and flood control facilities in the disaster-stricken areas of Fujian and Guangdong, and to promote the restoration of normal production and living order in the disaster-stricken areas as soon as possible.

On June 19, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Emergency Management allocated a total of 346 million yuan in central natural disaster relief funds to support local efforts in flood control, drought relief and geological disaster relief.

On June 19, the Ministry of Finance, together with the Ministry of Water Resources, allocated 916 million yuan of central fiscal water conservancy disaster relief funds to actively respond to the floods in the south and droughts in the north, and fully support flood control and drought relief in the disaster-stricken areas.

The Guangdong Provincial Emergency Management Department has dispatched five helicopters to carry out emergency rescue missions and transported 17 tons of relief supplies. Meizhou City has mobilized more than 10,000 rescue forces at all levels and evacuated more than 64,000 people.

The Fujian Provincial Water Resources Department has strengthened flood control and dispatching of large and medium-sized reservoirs, and has intercepted and stored flood water as much as possible while ensuring the safety of the reservoirs. It has also urged and guided local areas along the river to strengthen patrols of embankments and inspections for dangers, and to promptly relocate people in low-lying areas.

At present, rescue and relief work is underway in a race against time. In critical moments, brave figures stand out one after another, warm moments touch people's hearts, and touching stories continue to unfold.

In Meizhou, Guangdong, firefighters encountered a family trapped on the second floor while evacuating people, including a 6-month-old baby. As the water level rose, they drove the lifeboat closer and quickly broke the window to open an escape route. One by one, they built a human bridge and held the baby tightly, carefully transferring the child to the lifeboat.

Also in Meizhou, Guangdong, an old man was trapped by floodwaters, with only his head above the water, clinging to a street lamp and not daring to move. Firefighters approached the old man carefully and calmed him down, and finally successfully rescued him.

Affected by heavy rainfall in recent days, flood disasters occurred in many places in Rucheng County, Chenzhou, Hunan Province. The water level rose, houses were flooded, and people were trapped. Fire rescue personnel carefully transferred the elderly and young children in the flood, and drove rescue boats to transfer a total of 64 people.

They used ropes to pull out a "life channel"

In Nanning, Guangxi, due to heavy rain, two elderly people were trapped in the river by floods. They clung to the tree to prevent being washed away by the fast-flowing water. The fire rescue personnel immediately brought rescue equipment and used ropes to pull a "life channel" in the flood, successfully transferring the trapped people to the shore safely.

In Hechi, Guangxi, torrential rains caused floods to surround the village, and the first floors of many houses were submerged. Fire rescue personnel drove rubber boats to search and investigate from house to house late at night, and successfully transferred more than 20 trapped people.

Many places in Yunnan Province were also hit by heavy rains, with heavy rainfall in Qujing and Kunming, causing urban flooding in many places and people trapped in some areas. Fire rescue personnel were dispatched urgently to evacuate hundreds of trapped people.

There are many people like them who have built "lifeways" in floods and become a solid backing for the people affected by the disaster. They escort us in heavy rains, clear the way for us in rapids, and protect our safety in dangerous situations.

In the storm, many ordinary people stand up. Their kindness, unity and courage are inspiring. Heartwarming stories happen around us.

Faced with the raging flood, a villager from Baotou Village, Dazhe Town, Pingyuan County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province made the decision to "go against the flow". At the critical moment, he volunteered to return to the village and used his family's rubber boat to assist rescue workers in transferring more than 60 people to a safe area.

After heavy rains in Meizhou, Guangdong, some areas were affected and roads were flooded. A man drove a trailer to help villagers transfer their luggage for free. He said he had many friends in the disaster-stricken areas and rushed over to help them after hearing the news.

In Yongfu County, Guangxi, a road section was flooded due to heavy rain, which blocked students from going to school, slowed down the traffic of vehicles, and spread to shops around the street. At this time, two citizens stepped forward and cleared branches and garbage near the manhole cover in the rain to help drain the water.

During the rescue process, the firefighters also received a mysterious "gift" from the students.

"Dear firefighters, thank you very much for your rescue of Pingyuan. You have worked hard..." On June 18, in Meizhou, Guangdong, a student gave a heartwarming note to the firefighters. These few words are the best "gift" for the rescue frontline.

The flood situation has not yet ended, and rescue and relief efforts are still ongoing. Salute to every journey against the wind and rain, and every bit of protection!
