The rainstorm lasted for a whole day before it stopped. The fields in Yangjia Village were all in a relatively low and flat area, some distance away from the slope where they lived, so more than half of them were flooded. Fortunately, they harvested a lot yesterday, so not all the hard work of more than half a year was wasted.

Their place is not the worst-hit area, it can even be said to be "mildly affected". Many places are still experiencing continuous rain. A trend of worshiping the Dragon King has been set off on the Internet. Many people of the older generation say that this flood is even bigger than the one more than 20 years ago.

The coastal areas were the first to be hit by the disaster. Although these areas were flooded, the floods rose slowly, so there was more time to wait for rescue. The government opened many shelters for people to live in, and many elderly people and children were taken to other places for refuge.

The provinces and cities along the big rivers were hit the hardest by the rainstorm. As the rain fell, the water conservancy projects were no longer effective, the water levels of the rivers continued to rise, causing floods to burst their banks, affecting dozens of places and causing major floods in the entire river basin.

The raging flood could easily break a century-old tree in half. Not only were the low-rise houses flooded, but many tall buildings were also washed down. The people living inside probably didn't have time to escape and were swept into the flood, unable to breathe anymore.

Some survivors said with fear that when they discovered the water was about to burst the dam, they were told by the neighborhood committee to run for their lives. When they were on the fifth floor, the flood was only up to their knees, but by the time they ran out, it had risen to their waists. If it weren't for the soldiers who came to rescue them in a speedboat, they would not have escaped at all.

There were some survivors who were not swept away by the flood. They could only climb to higher places where they had not fallen and wait numbly for rescue in the devastation. The only roofs or trees left under them were like an isolated island in the endless sea of waves.

Ten days ago, some netizens in the flood-stricken areas were still joking online about "a view of the sea view room", "viewing the sea at the doorstep", "rowing to and from get off work" and so on. But now they have completely lost the mood to entertain themselves.

Many people realized that this was not just a matter of one region being affected and other places providing support, but a national and even global disaster. Doomsday theories and claims of a major flood disaster were spreading rapidly and could not be stopped despite repeated bans.

Many Chinese living abroad have shared information about where they are now. Heavy rains that occur once in a thousand years have broken out all over the world. Many countries are not major agricultural countries, and when transportation conditions do not allow, food shortages have become the most deadly factor. Some places even allow citizens to carry guns, posing a great threat to the safety of foreigners.

They also hoped that the country could send personnel to bring them back, but unfortunately, when they saw that the disaster in China was also very serious and the troops were fighting floods in the disaster area with all their strength, most people had to give up this idea. The country did not have more energy to allocate to various parts of the world to bring people back.

There is also a small number of people who think that the country is abandoning their lives by doing this. When their lives are threatened, they develop great malice and vent their grievances on the Internet. Not surprisingly, people in the country who are also suffering from the floods started quarreling with them.
