Candidate parent Yao Weihua came to the entrance of No. 2 Middle School in She County early in the morning, and his daughter took a government-organized bus to the test center. According to Yao Weihua's recall, in the early morning of the 7th, before receiving the notice to cancel the exam, the parents spontaneously formed a team to explore the way for the child, explore the water situation, and find the ship through various channels.
At 4 o'clock on the 7th, it was raining heavily in She County, and her daughter was still sleeping. Yao Weihua first went to the school to check the traffic. At that time, the water probably reached his knee. At about 5 o'clock, Yao Weihua was going to send his daughter to school. He told his daughter: "Daddy is carrying you, even if you go to the water and will take you to the exam." However, the water on the road was already waist-high at this time, and it was impossible to guarantee safe arrival at the school.
"There is really no way. My mother and my child both cried anxiously. I couldn't show it to the child. I was afraid to put pressure on her." Yao Weihua said, "I have lived in Shexian since I was a child. Water."
Yao Weihua said that after learning that the exam was delayed, her daughter was in a particularly depressed mood. After the enlightenment, she took the initiative to speak to them this morning: "Mom and dad, don't worry about me, I will definitely take the exam."
Xu Zhu was also one of the parents who sent the test. Her husband was an employee of Huangshan Power Supply Company. During the college entrance examination, her husband's job was to protect the power of Shexian No. 2 Middle School. Xu Zhu said with a smile: "The child is taking the college entrance examination, I send the exam, and my husband assists the exam. Our family of three is on the same battlefield."

After witnessing his son entering the examination room, Xu Zhu has been standing on the side of the road opposite the school, overlooking the teaching building. Xu Zhu said that this year's college entrance examination encountered a new coronary pneumonia epidemic and caught up with the flood. It was not possible to open the exam normally, but the overall mood of the children was relatively stable. This experience is a life experience for children and a wealth. With the help of all walks of life, the child's exam was smooth today. "Last night, the children were still studying in the classroom. The class teachers and teachers accompanied them to help them relieve the pressure."
It is understood that in order to ensure the smooth progress of the 8th and 9th college entrance examinations, Shexian County has prepared a plan to ensure access to the two test sites of Shexian Middle School and Shexian No. 2 Middle School. In view of the possible rain and water potential, low-lying areas are used to build pontoons and two ends. The method of connecting vehicles and escorting the surrounding militiamen also chose Xin'an Primary School, which has a higher terrain in the urban area, as a backup test site for the college entrance examination.
In addition, She County also provides free room and board and temporary breaks for all test personnel and candidates outside the county.
At 17 o'clock on the 8th, the college entrance examination on the day of the Shexian test area was successfully completed. Candidates stepped out of the test room one after another. They also continued to prepare for the re-test on the 9th. As of press time, staff from various departments of the local government are still working to ensure the successful completion of tomorrow's exam. (Finish)
