In the past few days, Beijing has experienced a rare flood in history——
From 20:00 on July 29th to 7:00 on August 2nd, Beijing experienced extreme heavy rainfall, which was the highest recorded rainfall in 140 years by instruments in the Beijing area. Rainstorm poured in and mountain torrents surged.

On July 29th, a special train returning to Beijing flew over the land of North China.
At this time, in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, the rainstorm warning signal has been repeatedly upgraded, indicating the upcoming extreme heavy rainfall weather.

Entering the critical flood prevention period of "Seven Down and Eight Up", the seven major river basins have fully entered the main flood season.
To provide scientific disaster relief, prevent secondary disasters, minimize casualties and property losses, and restore normal production and life order as soon as possible.
Affected by Typhoon Du Suri, extreme rainfall processes have occurred in North China, Huanghuai and other areas, causing floods and geological disasters.
The sudden heavy rainfall in Beijing has caused serious water damage to the Fengtai Shacheng Railway. On July 30th, trains K396, K1178, and Z180 on the way were urgently detained.
Food is in urgent need, drinking water is limited, signal is interrupted, temperature drops, and rainstorm breaks down, so external materials can only be delivered by human walking along the muddy road... More than 2800 stranded passengers on three trains are waiting in anxiety.
