　　"I was working in the east district of Zhengzhou yesterday. Because the road area was too watery, I couldn't return to my home near Nongye Road on Nanyang Road. I had to stay in a hotel in the east district of Zhengzhou for one night. But the family's phone call just couldn't get through, which made people very worried." Early in the morning, Mr. Yuan of Zhengzhou City saw that the road was open and rushed home by bus immediately.

When he saw that his family was safe, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

　　On the same day, the floods on the agricultural roads, Huayuan Road, Wenhua Road and other major roads in Zhengzhou that were hit by the heavy rain gradually subsided.

Although traffic has been resumed, some silt and rubbish remain on the road, and sanitation workers are stepping up to clean it up.

　　At 10 o'clock in the morning, the sky was drifting with sporadic drizzle, and there were more vehicles and pedestrians on Agricultural Road in Zhengzhou City.

　　Speaking of the heavy rain on the 20th and the stagnant water on the road over knees, many people have lingering fears.

"I didn't know where I had the courage at the beginning. I actually braved the heavy rain, wading thigh-deep water, walked about three kilometers, and returned home. Now I think about it." Mr. Yang told reporters, "It is raining today. It's finally stopped and can pass on the street, great!"

　　During the interview, the reporter found that as Zhengzhou's roads are gradually reopening to traffic, the people are not worried about food, and some large shopping malls have sufficient supplies.

A salesperson at a supermarket on Nongye Road in Zhengzhou told reporters: “Due to the lack of water in some communities, more people buy pure water, other foods are normally purchased, and supermarket supplies are sufficient.
