Chinese Vice Premier Liu Guozhong is leading a high-stakes rescue mission after a landslide buried parts of southwest China's Sichuan Province this weekend. The disaster struck Jinping Village in Yibin City on Saturday morning, triggering urgent calls for action.
🔍 On the ground: Liu rushed to the site within hours, inspecting damage and coordinating teams using advanced equipment to locate survivors. 'Every second counts,' he emphasized during a late-night briefing, ordering round-the-clock efforts and strict safety protocols for rescuers.
🏥 Human-first approach: After visiting injured residents at a local hospital, the vice premier stressed: 'We must treat every life as precious.' Authorities are providing trauma counseling and temporary housing for displaced families—a move locals are calling 'a light in the darkness.'
