[EpochTimesAugust292021](Reported by Epoch Times reporters Wang Jiayi and Luo Ya) On August 29, there were more than 20 consecutive hours of heavy rain in many parts of Henan. Zhengzhou also issued an orange warning of heavy rain at noon, and the tunnels and subways were closed. People in Henan often say that the shadow of the last flood has not disappeared. The epidemic was unblocked on the 28th and suffered heavy rains. Life in Henan is really not easy.
The Zhengzhou Meteorological Observatory issued an orange rainstorm warning signal at 12:15 on the 29th, saying that it is expected that the rainfall in Zhengzhou City, Xinzheng, Zhongmu, and the airport area will reach more than 50 mm in the next three hours.
Ms. Tao, a citizen of Zhengzhou, told The Epoch Times reporter on the afternoon of the 29th, “We have been in Zhengzhou for a day and a night, and the rain is still heavy. It is the same as on 7.20. The water has already overflowed in some places. I heard that the rain in Xinxiang has not stopped day and night. I have a headache under the rain, and it’s time to catch up with the typhoon at noon and then.”
She also said that Henan is quite unlucky. It used to be famine, but now it is raining again, and traffic has stopped. “Now the subway is not like before. It will be suspended when it rains heavily. The Beijing-Guangzhou tunnel has been ironed out. It is guarded. It is closed when it rains and is not allowed to enter. The epidemic has begun before the post-disaster recovery has started. Just yesterday. It will start to rain as soon as it is unblocked… the forecast is for a week of rain.”
According to Sina Henan, the Zhengzhou Hanghai Road Tunnel from west to east was closed due to stagnant water at 1 pm. According to the video taken by netizens, the heavy rain caused a huge waterfall to form at the entrance of the tunnel.
The last time the Zhengzhou Rainstorm Reservoir flooded caused floods, leading to major casualties in subway stations and tunnels. The people of Zhengzhou have not yet completely emerged from the shadows, and then the epidemic will follow. Therefore, many people in Zhengzhou expressed their feelings on social media: “It is too difficult for Zhengzhou for more than a month: rain + epidemic + rain.”
A netizen surnamed Liu expressed disappointment, “Heavy rains, epidemics, unblocking, heavy rains, you can only eat in today, and if you don’t eat anything, it rains again. It is seriously suspected that repairing the flower beds will damage the Feng Shui in Zhengzhou.”
Some netizens also said that traffic control has been implemented in that place, and the Hanghai Road tunnel has been closed from west to east!
Some netizens humorously said: “Hanghai Road is worthy of the name.”
A citizen of Zhengzhou in the South Ring Road said, “We watched the sea a few hours before our door. It’s not raining much. It rains in Zhengzhou every year. We watch the sea many times at the entrance of the South Third Ring Road.”
Some netizens said: “Through rains, floods and then epidemics and then heavy rains, please let go of Henan!”
It rained continuously for more than 20 hours in many places in Hebi, Shangqiu, Luoyang, Henan
According to Ms. Tao, in addition to Zhengzhou, Shangqiu City in Henan has never stopped since 1pm yesterday, and Luoning County in Luoyang City has not stopped since 1pm yesterday.
“Luoning County, er friend, she won’t go home in her work anymore. She was overshadowed by the heavy rain in July. The people in the disaster area were difficult and helpless at the time, so I feel a little panic when it rains now.” She emphasized After all, only one month has passed since the disaster that attracted global attention.
Mr. Chen, a villager in Xiaohe Town, Jun County, Henan Province, also introduced to The Epoch Times, “It has rained for more than 20 hours in Xiaohe Town, and there will be rain tomorrow. Now there is standing water everywhere, and the corn stalks in the ground are all rotten. The depth of the water is tens of centimeters, and there is water in shallow places. Because there is too much water now, the corn crops in the ground are rotten, causing a lot of mosquitoes and suffering at night. If there were no volunteers in the past, we would be even more miserable now.”
He was also worried that there might be problems with wheat planting, “It’s still raining. Where does the rainwater go, it can’t seep at all. Our well water used to be about 20 meters deep. Now, the well water is full. Wheat is generally planted in the ground before the frost, which means that in mid-September or around November, the water in the ground is still so deep. If the water does not leak, planting wheat is a problem.”
Li Keqiang’s inspection has no practical effect. Post-disaster reconstruction is slow
After the flood in Henan, on August 19, Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council visited Henan to inspect the disaster. Mr. Zhang said that Li Keqiang is always better than coming, but the reconstruction after the disaster went very slowly after he left.
He also introduced that there is the ground behind the house in his hometown. During the last flood, the deepest water on the ground was more than 1.5 meters, and the water in the house was 30 cm. The whole house was soaked in the water, which caused it to sink. Now it has become a dilapidated house. More than half of the houses inside are so unsafe. Unless the newly built house has anti-vibration columns and ring beams, which are relatively strong.
At that time, he obtained government relief supplies. He concluded: “One person in our village received dozens of bottles of water, a bag of rice, two pots of oil, and a few boxes of instant noodles, but a large part of these materials came from the society and came from those volunteers. Support, the government has very little supplies.”
