Zhuozhou, a city battered by relentless floods, is slowly emerging from the chaos as waters recede—but the scars remain. In Xici Village, near the Baigou River, homes lie in ruins, walls crumbled like fallen dominos, and mud-caked streets tell a story of nature’s fury. 🌧️💔
CGTN’s Zhou Yixin walked through the village, capturing scenes of resilience: residents salvaging belongings, neighbors sharing supplies, and volunteers clearing debris. \"The damage is heartbreaking,\" Zhou noted, \"but the spirit here is unbreakable.\"
While recovery efforts ramp up, challenges loom. Many lost everything overnight. Yet, community kitchens hum with activity, and temporary shelters buzz with determination. 🔨🤝
Experts warn such extreme weather events could rise due to climate shifts. For now, Zhuozhou’s focus is on rebuilding—one brick, one meal, one day at a time. 🌤️✨
