Cuijia Village is located in daban town, dongxiang county City, Gansu Province. /kloc-on the night of 0/8, after dinner, it suddenly rained heavily. It is raining outside. Looking out of the window, the line of sight is blurred, and you can see water in the yard.

It's dry all year round here, and it's sultry recently. It will be cooler if it rains a little. Most villagers didn't expect the flash flood to come. Ma Lu, a villager, retired and had dinner with his lover, complaining that "it rained a little heavily tonight" and didn't go out to watch it too much. He just felt that the sound of raindrops was getting closer and clearer.

"Go, the flood is coming! ..... "Ma Lu was pulled out of the house by two young people before he could react, and carried to a high place. Looking back, the low-lying areas in the village became a piece of Wang Yang.

Almost at the same time, a family living on the right bank of the flood drainage ditch in Cuijia Village, including an old man and a child, with a population of *** 1 1, and cattle and sheep in the yard were instantly flooded, leaving little. At the moment of shock, only three adult men in the family escaped, three others were killed, three were missing and two were injured and admitted to hospital.

19, Cuijiacun, scorching sun. Last night, the mountain torrents had receded, leaving only piles of high mud and big gaps, as well as courtyard walls and tree trunks beside the road. The yellow mud left by the flood was still faintly visible, which made people feel chilling. It can be seen that the flood almost overflowed the courtyard wall, but fortunately the villagers were evacuated to high places in time.

Ma Hezhen, 36, lives on the right bank of the flood drainage ditch. The family who died in the flood is her neighbor. The two houses are only two or three meters apart, but her home is in a higher place. Last night, she survived the flood. Up to now, her hands and feet are still shaking.

When the flash flood came, Ma and Zhen were at home with their two daughters and a son. "I was scared to hear the sound of telephone poles colliding in the rain outside. When I came out to see it, the water had already washed down. " She said that at that time, she ran out of the door with her children and kept running high.

"I am over 50 years old and have never seen such a big flood. It's too late to run. " Ma Yinghu, a villager in Cuijia Village, recalled that after more than an hour of rain in the village, mountain torrents rushed down the flood drainage ditch and instantly razed to the ground wherever they went.

During the rainstorm, when the villagers ran up the mountain, more than a dozen people climbed on several thick trees at the entrance of the village and cried, and some people had fallen into the mud pit.

"If it weren't for the concerted efforts of Qi Xin and Qi Xin, I'm afraid the people on these trees would have been killed." Ma Yinghu, who was over 60 years old, took a reporter to inspect the "life-saving tree" last night. Mud has flooded the waist of the tree, and the rescue team is using excavators to clean it up.

Ma Bin witnessed the process of villagers' self-help. He said that after the mountain torrents receded, these young people in the village only tied with hemp rope and waded through the mud half waist deep to rescue the villagers in the tree.

Ma Xiong, deputy mayor of daban town, said in an interview that it was "unfortunate" that the villagers didn't take the flash flood warning seriously before and after the flash flood broke out. Fortunately, more than 200 young people United as one in do or die and carried out desperate self-help, showing the brilliance of human nature in the disaster.

/kloc-On the afternoon of 0/9, the officers and men of Linxia detachment of the Armed Police lined up and searched for the bodies of the victims in the mud pile several meters high in Cuijia Village.

It was very hot on 19, and some villagers were cleaning up the silt spontaneously. Due to road maintenance, vehicles such as rescue teams, surrounding caring businesses, relatives and media were temporarily congested, but the whole rescue site was very orderly, and no one was noisy or talking at the scene. The remains of the victims have been searched and rescued, and the whole village has joined forces for burial. This village, which passed by "Death" last night, is very quiet today.

However, the sound of the flood last night, the cries of fleeing in the rain and the cry for help made many people feel as if they had just heard it. Thankfully, many rescue workers, people who send materials and pay attention to the media in the disaster area came today.

Lin Duo, secretary of Gansu Provincial Party Committee, is also here. Emergency rescue and disaster relief and disaster statistics are carried out simultaneously, and the scarce materials are continuously sent.

Ma Xiong said that after the rainstorm, the village quickly found that the water level in the flood drainage ditch rose, and the village cadres led the young people to go door to door to shout for transfer, but the flash floods came too fast and the family did not come and run. When Ma Ali, 5 1 year-old, heard the shouts, he saw with his own eyes that the flood washed away people under the village road a few meters away.

Daban town is located along the Taohe River with a long and narrow terrain. People along the line live by the mountain, and most of them live around the ditch. However, the ditches in the mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the mountains and rivers can easily meet to form flash floods.

Chicken houses in Ma Jianming, a chicken farmer, were all flooded, and the casualties of more than 4,000 chickens have not been counted. After the rainstorm and mountain torrents receded, he kept pumping water from the henhouse with pipes and discharging it. It was not until the afternoon that the muddy water dropped by a few centimeters. On both sides of the road leading to Cuijia Village, many cornfields were flooded, and the Taohe River was muddy and turbulent.

The rescued officers and men of the Armed Police arrived from Guanghe County at 2 am, and the third search of 13 ended 19. They sat on the floor and had their first meal. "Fiona Fang is three kilometers. We have searched several times and found a small bag and two motorcycles, but we have not found the body of the missing person. " A rescuer told reporters that the next step will be to search along the riverbed and clean up the dredging to ensure smooth roads.
