[Explanation] In recent days, heavy rainfall has continued in Henan, as has been in Hebi Jun County. In addition to upstream inflows and flood discharge from reservoirs, the water levels of Weihe and the communist canal have skyrocketed.

On July 30, the Weihe River was still running at a high level, and the dams along the route were under tremendous pressure.

At 20 o'clock that day, there were sudden piping and cracks in the middle section of the dam in Xichen Village, Jun County, seriously endangering the lives and property of surrounding people.

  [Simultaneous on-site] I can go swimming, lift up the plastic sheet, and then pull it over there to reinforce the embankment (good) so that it can't be washed down.

  Because this is our home in Junxian County, this is the last line of defense. I will be happier if I defend it. I will be really happy. I have to thank you officers and soldiers again. You are all children and not very old. Watching the children It's also very distressing.

  [Explanation] The dam in Xichen Village, Junxian County is the last line of defense on the west side of Junxian County. Once the flood flows into the county, the consequences will be disastrous.

  [Explanation] Wang Haoming is a volunteer from Weinan, Shaanxi, with rich experience in rescue and rescue.

On the 28th, the rescue came from Weihui County, Henan Province to Hebi.

At the scene, he gave full play to his experience and advantages, and together with the on-site commander, he organized everyone to lay rain-proof cloths and reinforce the protective embankment.

  At the beginning, our dam was soil, and the soil was blocked there. The more the gap rushed towards it, the soil became loose. When it became loose, it became a hole. The water rushed out from there, so this gap is big. Now, forming such a big pit, we can only stuff things into it.

  [Explanation] The armed police officers and soldiers who were in charge of strengthening other sections of the dam heard the call for help and rushed for reinforcements.

Since the sand filled with sandbags was washed away when the water entered the water, the armed police officers and soldiers and local people jumped into the flood and used their bodies as sandbags to build a "wall of people."

  [Explanation] Wang Yalong studied at North University of China in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and learned that his hometown was hit by floods. After the railway was opened to traffic, he rushed back to his hometown to help fight the flood.

  Because we were guarding the dam just now, then you (the armed police) transferred a lot of manpower, and then the fellow villagers were guarding here. We must protect ourselves. We must guard our Junxian county seat, and then you all let them start. Then you kneel here and carry your body. I and these officers and soldiers’ brothers are about the same age. I have just returned from school. I feel that my hometown (flood disaster) is a bit serious. I am also like you. I have been fighting. Before you I saw it in Fuzhuang, I saw it here, and I saw it again today.

  [Explanation] At the site, everyone used tarpaulins to block the inner side of the dike to reduce the water pressure, while blocking the piping on the outer side of the dike, superimposing flood control and drainage filter cloth and sandbags, and continuously widening and strengthening the dike.

  [Explanation] As of 3 o'clock in the morning on the 31st, after more than 7 hours of joint efforts by everyone, the danger of the protective embankment was effectively controlled and the dam was held.

  At that time, desperately thinking of nothing, they jumped directly to ensure the safety of their lives and property.

This is the most meaningful thing I have done for two years as a soldier. It is also the most honorable thing I have done in this suit. This is the duty and mission that we have on wearing this suit. In order to stand up when the people need us and protect the lives and property interests of the people, this is the most meaningful thing I think.

  [Concurrent] Volunteer Wang Haoming

  From the first time I came to Xichen Village, I felt that they are very united. The strength of our country's soldiers is very powerful and remarkable, and it is worth learning from our common people.

  [Explanation] In order to cope with flood pressure, ensure the safety of flood control in the county seat of Junxian County and Weihe River, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property in Hebi and Anyang.

Several flood storage and detention areas such as Gongquxi, Changhong Canal, Baisipo and Xiaotanpo in the Weihe River System have been successively opened in the local area.
