2021-07-23 Reflections after the heavy rain in Zhengzhou

In the face of natural disasters, can high technology really replace everything? When the entire city is cut off from water, power, internet, and gas, are there any limitations to the high technology we have tried our best to develop? Since July 17, 2021, Henan Province has experienced extremely heavy rainfall that is rare in history, with heavy rain or heavy rain falling in most areas. At 8:00 on July 21, the China Meteorological Administration upgraded the emergency response to major meteorological disasters to Level 2. The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue an orange rainstorm warning at 6 o'clock this morning.

Long duration: This process started at 8:00 on July 17 and has lasted for 4 days so far. The heaviest rainfall period occurred from the 19th to the 20th, with heavy to extremely heavy rains occurring in Zhengzhou for two consecutive days.

The cumulative rainfall is heavy: from 8:00 on the 17th to 6:00 on the 21st, the average precipitation in Henan Province reached 141 mm, the average precipitation in Zhengzhou City was 452.6 mm, and the maximum cumulative precipitation in Baizhai, Xinmi City, Zhengzhou reached 906 mm mm, and 720 mm at the Zhengzhou National Meteorological Observation Station.

Everyone is really equal in the face of natural disasters. Although we have experienced the disaster of this heavy rain, people have calmed down a lot, and people are moving around more, and everyone is interacting with each other. There has been more help and so on. . . . .

Why do I have such a feeling? I personally feel that it is because there is no mobile phone, no power, no network, and no signal, which allows people to come out of the virtual world and return to being a human being. of happiness.

I have the opportunity to experience "Nine times out of ten things will go wrong as you wish." Life is not easy. Life is not easy. Nine times out of ten things are going to be unsatisfactory. But if there are one or two things that make you smooth and happy, then it is not easy. , this is normal life, how many young people today know it? No one understands what it’s like to be alive!

Yes, it was this heavy rain disaster that made me experience the difficulty of living as a human being!
