July rainstorm in Zhengzhou 202 1

? 2021At about 4 pm on July 20th, a video about the water inflow in the tunnel of Metro Line 2 suddenly circulated in the circle of friends. Fortunately, there were no casualties. The company informed me that I could leave work early that day and my colleagues left the office one after another. Because of the long commute time (nearly one and a half hours by bus), I booked the last room in the hotel near the company as early as 5 o'clock. After eating in the canteen at six o'clock, I was going to call Didi to go to the hotel, only to find that no driver took the order. While hesitating about how to get there, a colleague who is also far away from the company asked if she could stay with me for one night, just as she has a car. Afraid of loneliness, I agreed at once, so we drove to the hotel. Although the straight-line distance between the hotel and the company is only 1.5 km, some sections are still deeply flooded. Later, we parked our car in a higher place nearby and walked more than 200 meters to the hotel. On the way to hiking, we obviously felt that the water was very urgent, and some sections were slippery, so it was easy to fall down if we were not careful. Fortunately, we arrived at the hotel in a few minutes.

Shortly after arriving at the hotel, it was obvious that the rain outside was increasing. Until about eleven o'clock in the evening, some hotels occasionally brushed the news and saw the video of cars pouring water on Metro Line 5. Only then did they begin to realize that the rainstorm had turned into a disaster. At about 1 1, they were about to fall asleep. Is it safe for Changsha colleagues to call and count the location information? After hanging up the phone, they chatted with their colleagues.

The next morning, I got up and went to the convenience store next to the hotel to buy breakfast. I found that many foods on the shelves were snapped up. On that day, the unit informed me to work at home. When we returned to the hotel after breakfast, the hotel owner asked us when we were going to check out. At that time, many people who stayed at work last night were ready to move in. We originally said that we would not check out for the time being and wait and see. But after returning to the hotel, I felt that there was nothing to do in the hotel and the signal was not good. It is better to hurry back to the unit while the rain is light. So when I was leaving the hotel, I was asked by the hotel owner to check out the card. At that time, I expected that it would be difficult to have a room when I returned to the hotel later.

? When my colleagues and I arrived at the office, there were very few people in the office. Many people stayed in the office last night. In the afternoon, everyone began to quit the office. I heard from a colleague in the office who lives in the East Fourth Ring Road that there is serious water accumulation there and I can't go back. I've been booking hotels online and found them all full. At this time, my colleague who stayed with me in the hotel last night suggested that I could go home with her. At this time, there is really a feeling of being in the same boat. I stayed at my colleague's house for nearly a day. On the afternoon of the 22nd, my husband took me out of the project and returned to Zhongmu Community. Fortunately, there is not much water on the South Third Ring Expressway. When I returned to the community at four o'clock in the afternoon, the accumulated water in the community was basically exhausted.

? On the morning of 23rd, I went to work. Originally, I wanted to take a bus directly from Logistics Avenue according to the navigation information. As a result, I found that there was water in many sections, but I had no choice but to bypass Ryan Avenue. As a result, Ryan Avenue was directly restricted, and then I had no choice but to go around the South Third Ring Road. Originally more than 20 kilometers, I simply detoured more than 70 kilometers, and it took two and a half hours to get to the unit.

? After the rest of my life, I have a deeper understanding of the saying that life is precious. It turns out that a healthy and safe life is really a fluke. In the past few days after the rainstorm stopped, many places have accumulated water, some sections have collapsed, and the secondary injuries caused by the rainstorm have also claimed many lives. According to news reports, as of July 23rd, 56 people have been killed, 5 people are missing and the direct economic loss is 65.5 billion yuan. Among them, the loss of Zhengda First Affiliated Hospital, known as the largest hospital in Asia, is estimated to be above 10, not including the 22-story 1 ward building that is likely to be scrapped due to foundation settlement. On the Internet, the vice president of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zheng Da couldn't help crying after seeing the rescue team. He cried and said that the Zhengda First Affiliated Hospital 100 did not close down, but closed on the day of rescue. It looks really hard.

? May the dead rest in peace and the living be strong.

After all, living is the greatest glory.
