Wen | Wu Junjie as a room Li Did not speak
The previous Korean film Parasite, which won the International Film Award, depicts the huge gap between the underclass and the upper class in South Korea, and one of the plots is that the basement where the protagonist's family lives is flooded by heavy rain. I thought that the plot in the movie was artistically processed, until the recent rainstorm in Seoul, South Korea, that I knew that art really originated from life!
Torrential rains struck and basement residents were killed
Since the 8th, Seoul, South Korea, has begun to rain from day to day, and its rainfall is staggering, setting a record for more than 100 years. Successive days of heavy rains flooded Seoul's roads, vehicles, subway stations, and the basement was severely damaged. About 500 families in Seoul have been severely affected by living in the semi-basement, and more than 10 people have even died and several people have disappeared, including a family of three living in the semi-basement.
It is reported that at that time, the flood was too strong to open the door of the basement, and although the surrounding neighbors tried their best to rescue it, they could not open it because of the installation of anti-theft windows on the narrow windows. As a result, the crowd could only watch as the water filled the house and were helpless. I believe that at that moment, the people around you must feel sad and sad, and the trapped people must be more desperate.
Seoul wants to ban the construction of basement dwellings
The tragedy made South Korea pay attention to the safety of the group living in the basement. South Korean President Yoon Seok-wook not only visited the scene of the disaster, but also apologized to the public for the damage caused by the torrential rain.
Subsequently, the Seoul government announced that in order to avoid a recurrence of the tragedy, it would phase out small and crowded basement or semi-basement dwellings, prohibiting the use of such spaces as residential uses, and only for non-residential uses such as warehouses and parking lots. The Seoul government says rents for stained basements or semi-basements are relatively cheap, but they are often prone to moisture, and floods are even more catastrophic. According to statistics, there are about 200,000 Seoul families living in such houses, accounting for about 5% of Seoul's residential stock. In response, the Seoul government promised to assist low-income households to move into public housing.
In addition, the Seoul government also said that in order to better cope with heavy rain and flood disasters, Seoul will build six underground flood storage ponds and drainage tunnels in the city to allow rainwater to be discharged faster.
This Chinese man is called a "hero"
It is worth mentioning that a Chinese man did not hesitate to reach out when an elderly couple renting a semi-basement encountered danger, braved the torrential rain, dismantled the anti-theft window of the semi-basement, and rescued the person.
South Korean media reported on this heroic deed, and South Korean netizens praised it as a "righteous soldier" and "hero". The couple who were rescued were also grateful to him, saying that without his assistance, they would certainly not have been able to come out alive.
