Mr. Xu and his family of five use summer vacation

Driving happily to famous scenic spots in Jiangxi for tourism,

Who would have guessed what would happen next

It breaks their hearts and saddens them immensely

Mr. Xu's wife, Ms. Wang

When visiting Mount Sanqing Scenic Area,

Suspected of being swept away by a flash flood,

Unfortunately, he died when the rescue team found him,

Leaving behind two young sons,

One is 6 years old, and the other is only 3 years old.

A family of five will travel to a well-known scenic spot during the summer vacation

The deceased woman, surnamed Wang, is 30 years old and from Yijiang District, Wuhu City, Anhui Province.

Mr. Xu, the husband, introduced that he is in the catering business, his wife is a teacher, and his 14-year-old sister is in the second grade of junior high school. Recently, they have been wanting to go on a trip during the summer vacation.

On July 20 this year, Mr. Xu and his party of five drove from their hometown in Anhui to Mount Sanqing Scenic Spot in Yushan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. At about 6:00 p.m. that day, they arrived near the Mount Sanqing Scenic Area, stayed in a farmhouse that night, and planned to climb the mountain in the scenic area the next day.

It is reported that Mount Sanqing is a national 5A scenic spot, and the adult ticket is 120 yuan. If you take the cableway, the up and down fees are 125 yuan.

Wife and sister lost contact after going up the mountain

Mr. Xu said that it was raining lightly after waking up on the morning of July 21st. For safety reasons, they decided to let him take his two young sons, wife, and sister to the scenic area for a trip. "At that time, I took them to the ticket gate. They entered the scenic area and watched their distant backs before I returned to the farmhouse to continue taking the two children with me."

Unexpectedly, it was a farewell to my wife.

At 5:25 pm that same day, Mr. Xu saw that his wife and sister had not returned yet, so he dialed his wife's phone, but couldn't get through. "I tried calling 10 times, but it still indicated that I couldn't connect. At first, I thought it was because the signal in the scenic area was not good, so I didn't pay attention. Later, I suddenly felt that the situation was not good, so I locked my two children in the farmhouse, asked my eldest son to take care of my younger brother, and drove to the scenic area to look for them."

After entering the scenic area, he found that the roads inside were filled with deep water, and many places were flooded. Some places were even inaccessible by car.

My sister cried and said

"Sister was washed away by the flood"

Mr. Xu has been calling his wife along the way, but he has been unable to connect.

At around 6 pm that day, Mr. Xu suddenly received a strange phone call on his way up the mountain, in which his sister's voice came from. "She cried and said something had happened, saying that she and her sister were washed away by the sudden flood on the mountain, but her sister couldn't find them. She finally climbed up on her own.".

That phone number was borrowed by my sister from a tourist's phone to call Mr. Xu. She had previously used that phone number to report to the police for help, claiming that someone had fallen into the water and could not be found.

After Mr. Xu inquired about the situation, he hung up the phone and called the police again.

The siblings reported to the police twice, which aroused high attention from the local police. The police, together with rescue forces such as the scenic area and fire department, immediately went to search. First, they found Mr. Xu's sister and the two tourists accompanying them, and sent them down the mountain.

After talking to his younger sister on the phone, Mr. Xu continued to drive towards the mountains of the scenic area. However, "the road up the mountain was flooded and there was no way for the car to go," he was forced to park the car on the roadside and wait. "Later, the police called me to go back the same way and wait for news at the entrance of the scenic area.".

My wife was found dead the next day

Mr. Xu told reporters that after the incident, local emergency, public security, fire protection, and scenic areas quickly established rescue teams. When they learned that his two children were still in the farmhouse, the on-site rescue command center decided to set up the command center in the farmhouse to facilitate Mr. Xu's care of the two children.

That night, the search and rescue team launched a search in the pitch black scenic area, but it was unsuccessful. Around 10 pm, Mr. Xu saw his sister, who had several stitches on her head, injured her waist and ankle, and had bruises all over her body.

On the morning of July 22nd, personnel from the rescue command center told Mr. Xu that his wife had been found in a pile of rubble more than 100 meters away from the scene of the incident, but had no signs of life and was taken to the Yushan County Funeral Parlor for temporary storage.

Upon hearing the bad news, Mr. Xu was filled with grief.

My younger sister recalls the terrifying scene of being washed away by the flood

Mr. Xu's 14-year-old sister recalls the scene to the reporter and is still in shock.

She said that on that day, she and her sister went up the mountain to play along the road opened up by the scenic area. At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and they planned to find a place to take shelter or return to the original path to prepare for going down the mountain.

As they walked forward, they passed by a place where there was a steep cliff on the left, a sloping slope on the right, and a water ditch at the foot of the right. The water flowed gurgling inside, with three stone slabs in front of it. The water turned under the slabs and flowed down the steep cliff on the left. The cliff was rocky and rugged, several tens of meters high.

When describing the incident, Mr. Xu's sister said that the slate was a bit slippery. Just as she and her sister were stepping on it, a huge flood suddenly rushed out of the right slope, instantly washing them down the left cliff. They then continued to rush down the water flow, "Later, I was blocked by a big stone, and I struggled to climb up. My whole body was soaked, and there was no one around. I cried for help, but no one answered."

She then began searching for her sister, but couldn't find her. "She only heard the sound of rain and the sound of flowing water on the scene." After landing, she prepared to go down the mountain to search for rescue. At this time, she met two tourists. In an open area, she borrowed each other's phone to call the police and called her brother for help.

She said that at that time, the flood directly rushed to their right leg and pushed them down the left cliff. "If we had passed a few seconds earlier or later, things wouldn't have happened," she said

Mr. Xu recalled that his wife suffered a serious head injury. After being washed down by the flood, her head was hit by a rock under the cliff. She was still wearing shoes on one foot, the other shoe was missing, and several teeth were knocked out.

After the incident, Mr. Xu's family members rushed to Yushan County in his hometown.

The deceased's family believes that the responsibility lies entirely with the scenic area

Claim over 2.6 million yuan

Mr. Xu said that after his wife left, he left behind two underage sons, one 6 years old and the other only 3 years old. There are also four elderly people in the couple's family to support.

"We believe that the responsibility lies entirely with the scenic area. The scene of the incident was a steep cliff with no guardrails at all, and that place was quite dangerous." Mr. Xu questioned why the scenic area did not take closure measures and allowed tourists to go and play, even though it was raining that day?

Mr. Xu said that they have requested compensation of over 2.6 million yuan. However, Mount Sanqing Scenic Area is only willing to bear part of the responsibility, and the maximum compensation is 600000 yuan.

The scenic area did not respond whether tourists were washed away by flash floods

The police have preliminarily determined that he drowned

Mr. Xu's sister said that they were washed away by floods due to a flash flood. Is this really the case?

When the reporter interviewed the Mount Sanqing Scenic Area, a female staff member said that the matter was currently being handled and everything was subject to their notification.

A person in charge of the Mount Sanqing Scenic Area Administration said, "I won't answer the specific questions. We are now negotiating with our families." Then he hung up the phone.

The local police said that it was preliminarily determined that Ms. Wang drowned, and the matter is currently under further investigation.
