[Epoch Times, July 23, 2021](The Epoch Times reporters Luo Ya and Zhang Yujie interviewed and reported) The Henan floods affected people’s hearts. The citizens of Zhengzhou revealed to the Epoch Times reporters that the actual death toll was much higher than the official announcement. At that time, the CCP officials were busy deleting posts, and ignored the people before and after the disaster and did nothing.
Public disclosure of true deaths
The Chinese Communist Party’s official Xinhua News Agency stated on July 23 that the Henan Provincial Department of Emergency Management reported that “the death toll from the Zhengzhou flood has risen to 56”.
Mr. Wang, a citizen of Zhengzhou, disclosed to the Epoch Times reporter on the 23rd: “The actual figures must be much more than the official announcement. I have a friend who helped with disaster relief. He said that he saw at least 15 corpses. He was on the other side of the reservoir. I saw fifteen bodies.”
Mr. Wang also revealed: “In the mountainous areas and in some places, the roads were all washed away, many people were washed away, and many people could not be found. I have a friend, and all nine members of his uncle’s family were washed away.”
Relatives of the nine members of this family sent out a post asking for help, but the post quickly disappeared. Mr. Wang said: “It was about the afternoon of the 21st that (the post) suddenly disappeared. It was said that the author had set the permissions.”
Mr. Wang said that the above-mentioned relatives are still unable to contact his uncle’s family, and there was no news as of last night. There should be none today, and his relatives should have said something.
The Beijing-Guangzhou tunnel, which is about four kilometers in length, has attracted attention from the outside world. When the flood occurred, the tunnel was congested.
Mr. Wang told The Epoch Times reporter that the Beijing-Guangzhou Tunnel is the main traffic artery of Zhengzhou City and may be the longest tunnel in Zhengzhou. Many vehicles pass through there every day. “I don’t know if the people inside have escaped.” He said.

What is the government doing during the disaster?
Regarding the Zhengzhou flood disaster, Mr. Wang questioned: “I feel very strange that it rained so heavily and some places were flooded. There should also be air defense alarms like Zhengzhou. Why didn’t they sound? The alarm can also tell people that there is a disaster. Well? In addition, why did it rain so heavily and he didn’t stop the subway and buses? Why did they respond so slowly, and they didn’t say that work would be suspended.”
Mr. Wang said that a villager on the outskirts of Zhengzhou told him that when it rained on the 20th, the villagers wanted the government to provide some anti-flooding materials, such as bags, but the government said, “You can solve it yourself, we can’t manage it.” Then floods broke out.
Mr. Wang believes that if the government really wants to do something, it will not be difficult. He said: “There are police everywhere, and there are police stations everywhere. As long as the police and government personnel pull the air defense alarm, it is enough. Two police cars will go past the entrance of the Beijing-Guangzhou tunnel.”
Zhao Jun (pseudonym), a citizen who escaped from the Beijing-Guangzhou tunnel, told the Epoch Times reporter on the 23rd that during the flood, the traffic police blocked the exit and the entrance was not sealed, which prevented people entering the tunnel from getting out.

During the flood disaster in Henan Province, the Ministry of Finance of the Communist Party of China issued a message on its website that it allocated 100 million yuan (RMB, the same below) on July 21, of which “60 million yuan from the central natural disaster relief fund was used to support emergency rescue and disaster-stricken areas in the disaster area. Relief work for the masses; the central government’s agricultural production and water conservancy disaster relief funds of 40 million yuan are used to support the restoration of post-disaster agricultural production and the restoration of water-damaged water conservancy projects in the disaster-stricken areas.”
The number of permanent residents in the latest census of Henan Province is 99.365 million, which shows that the 60 million yuan used for disaster relief is equivalent to a little more than 60,000 yuan per person on average.
Mr. Wang added to reporters that during the disaster, some ordinary people formed a sharp contrast with the government. They rushed into the water to save people. These were ordinary people.
People’s livelihood travel is hindered after the disaster, the CCP’s “scan code” and new energy vehicles become the biggest obstacle
Since the outbreak of the floods, some areas of Zhengzhou have suffered power outages, outages, or weak network signals. The “scan code” and new energy vehicles that the CCP has actively promoted have become serious obstacles to people’s shopping and travel.
On July 22, the “Story Hardcore” team of Wufei (Shanghai) Cultural Studio published an article “Post-disaster Zhengzhou: When a City Suddenly Lost the Internet”.
In the article, for example, Alipay cannot be used for shopping checkout, only cash is used, and many people are not used to carrying cash, and some are forced to “exchange goods”; subways, buses, and online ride-hailing are suspended, and it is difficult to scan codes for shared bicycles; What taxi drivers are most concerned about is “Do you have cash? You can’t use WeChat Alipay.”
A taxi driver said, “I’m a new energy vehicle, and it’s over when I’m done. I don’t know where to recharge it. The electric piles are all useless.”
The CCP has been pushing “code scanning” for many years. After the outbreak, the CCP has increased its “code scanning” efforts in various places, which has caused people to worry about the inconvenience of travel and increased surveillance.
Zhengzhou City will implement “one car, one yard” for public transportation and taxis, “one station, one yard” for subways, and “one store, one yard for supermarkets” from February 19, 2020. Citizens use public transportation, taxis, subways, and enter In front of the supermarket, scan the QR code through Alipay and WeChat.”
In addition, Zhengzhou is one of the cities that cooperates with the Chinese Communist Party’s official policy and vigorously promotes new energy vehicles. Just before the flood, on July 10, the Chinese Communist Party’s official media People’s Daily Online stated that all of the new public transport, sanitation, rental, and online ride-hailing vehicles in Zhengzhou were new energy vehicles. There were 6,316 buses, 71.2% sanitation vehicles, and 7,800 vehicles in Zhengzhou. The taxis on the road, 9,239 online car-hailing vehicles, and 15,163 logistics distribution vehicles are all new energy vehicles; Zhengzhou City will complete another batch of new energy vehicles before the end of October this year.
Regarding the current livelihood situation, Mr. Chen, a citizen of Zhengzhou, told reporters that the eastern area where he is located has been disconnected from the afternoon of the 20th, but there has been no power outage. The water has been cut off from the 21st, and only two times a day, each half an hour.
Mr. Wang said that the most miserable thing is the mountainous area, where the roads are all washed away. Some volunteers may have to walk for 10 to 20 kilometers to deliver water and food to those victims who really need it. One person can only carry one or two. Ten bottles of water.
