Standing next to the ferry in Madang Town, Pengze County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, even with hundreds of meters apart, 70-year-old villager Sheng Aiping looked back and found his home at a glance. The other side of the river is his hometown of cotton boat town.
But she couldn't go back temporarily. From 9:00 on the 13th, Mianchuan Town, which had been besieged by the Yangtze River flood for many days, began to transfer residents in low-lying areas. Most people voted for relatives or friends or went to live in county towns. A small number were placed in Madang Central Primary School to avoid the flood season. Risk transfer settlement.

In this resettlement site, 142 people who "find home" like her were also placed. Because the water level remained high, the villagers were urgently transferred to the school classroom by the township officials.
The tables and chairs have been vacated and replaced by folding beds and summer mats. The podium is stocked with food, water, mosquito coils and essential medicines. A total of 15 rooms and 2 spare rooms are set up in the resettlement site. Each room is set up with 10 beds. Party members, cadres, duty personnel and volunteers are on duty 24 hours to ensure the basic livelihood of the people in the resettlement site.
At noon, Chen Jitang, a villager who was worried about "not eating well and not sleeping well" before leaving home, soon realized the taste of a new "home".
When the cafeteria staff presented a sumptuous lunch in front of him, he sighed: "Three meals and three vegetarians per meal, I don't know how to choose, it's better than eating at home."

"I also want to open now, where there is everyone, it is also home." Chen Jitang said with a smile, less busy farming, but more people talking. The only thing he was worried about was his son, who was sticking to the flood control of the cotton boat. "Dad, you can transfer your peace of mind. I'll keep the house!" The words of his son before he left. Now he will stay at the settlement and wait for the good news ahead.
In addition to the Madang Central Primary School, local schools such as Nanxiao Village Elementary School, Yuejin Village Elementary School, Yuejin Village Stars, etc. are used as "cotton ship flood relief and transfer sites", which can accommodate a total of about 650 people.
