On the morning of July 2 1, the water in the main road basically receded, and some people were taken away by their families. However, there are still nearby residents who come to the museum one after another because of power cuts and water cuts at home.
Watch and help each other in the heavy rain
In the case of many disasters and limited rescue power, citizens began to help themselves, help each other and tide over the difficulties together. On the evening of July 20th, Li Yuexiang, who had just returned from a business trip, was trapped in the subway station.
From 4 pm on July 20 to the early morning of the next day, he and several passengers were trapped in Kangning Street Station of Zhengzhou Metro, and only a few people living nearby walked home.
Until 12 o'clock in the morning, one of the stranded people went out to buy things in the rain and happened to see an open bookstore near the subway entrance. When she came back, she told them that she had found a place where she could eat, with hot water and a bathroom, and asked if she could go.
Li Yuexiang thinks it's better to settle down than wait in the subway station. So everyone chose to move their positions and divided into several groups. At about 1 in the morning, everyone went to the authentic bookstore to have a rest.
The owner of the bookstore is also very enthusiastic about them and provides a hall for everyone to rest. There is a canteen on the first floor and a restaurant on the fourth floor, which can also provide food for everyone.
Affected by the flood disaster, many citizens' homes were flooded and many people were trapped and unable to go home. In order to give citizens a temporary "shelter", many hotels in Zhengzhou announced collective price cuts, with the lowest price being only single digits. In addition, some hotels take out extra beds in the lobby to let the trapped people rest.
However, hotels alone are far from enough, and local enterprises have also lent a helping hand. In the early morning of July 2 1, in a cinema on Nongye Road, Huayuan Road, Zhengzhou, caring merchants provided hot water and rest places for the nearby people free of charge. Several cinemas are open and thousands of people spend the night here. There is a big business circle near here, which is very close to Guanhutun subway station, with a large flow of people.
"There were many people who came here to take shelter from the rain last night, including pregnant women, the elderly and children. Everyone's mood is very stable and they should all be asleep. " The person in charge of the theater said.
