In July of 20021year, Henan was flooded.

In July, 20021year, my hometown, Yu He Town, huixian city, Henan Province, was flooded due to the flood discharge from the reservoir and the continuous rainstorm for several days. Although the flood discharge was notified in advance and the river embankment was fortified, the manpower was poor before the natural disaster, and it was always submerged by Jinshan. 2 1 At noon, the flood overflowed the river bank and flooded the whole village. The water is shoulder-deep, water and electricity are cut off, and the cell phone signal is intermittent. More than 500 villagers were trapped, most of them were old people and children. As of 23: 00 pm on the 22nd, the water level did not drop significantly.

My mother's house was a tile house 30 years ago, and occasionally it leaked water. After such a big storm, it is even more fragile. On the day of flood discharge, she flooded the yard and repeatedly persuaded her to touch the wall and flee to her neighbor's house for refuge.

I don't need her to scold me. All three of us will blame ourselves. My hometown is downstream, the flood entered the village that day, and my second child was in Zhengzhou. The rainstorm made headlines early in the morning. As the third girl to marry in the village, I should have been the nearest, but I was trapped in Beijing because of the high-speed rail stop. Alas, no one can count on it!

Worry, anxiety, remorse, anxiety. That night, I lost sleep. Check the monitoring every half hour, always pay attention to the group dynamics. If the water level drops, report it quickly, and it rises again, and so on. In this way, I spent a day and a night. On the evening of the 22nd, when the water began to recede, I was a little relieved.

Calling for help is very tangled. Seeing caring people from all directions come to help, kayaking, pumps, drinking water and instant noodles, I think the villagers also need them. It's just that village cadres have no plans. I can't ask why, let alone ask for help. Even friends try to cover up their inner anxiety with positive content.

At noon on the 22nd, the water surged, many families entered the water, and the old people were moved one after another. My mother was not at ease and ran back to tidy up the house quietly. The three of us were so anxious that all kinds of persuasion failed.

I started trying to contact the external rescue force, Weibo WeChat Media Group, but I was told that Huixian had a separate rescue system. I dialed the phone, but I couldn't get through. I thought my cell phone was busy with rescue.

Cities are different from rural areas. The road is wide and the crowd is concentrated, which is convenient for rescue. In contrast, the villages and towns are particularly scattered, so it is natural to arrange them back in order.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, I dare not read the information outside. Flood discharge, evacuation, tunnels, rescue ... I feel very depressed. Turn off your cell phone and take a deep breath.

In contrast, how lucky, the family is still there, and people are still there. Everything will pass.

Things are impermanent, I hope you will take good care of it for the rest of your life.
