Xin'an Village, Zhaodu Township, Dali County, besieged by floodwaters from flooding banks, on October 20.
On October 19, at the resettlement site for the affected people in Guangji Village, Chaoyi Town, the affected people from Xinjian Village in Zhaodu Town lined up in an orderly manner to eat. After the disaster occurred, the victims of the new village were transferred to Guangji Village for proper resettlement at the first time.
On October 20, in the winter jujube greenhouse in Chunhe Village, Zhaodu Town, Wang Genxuan took advantage of the drop in the water level of the greenhouse to seize the harvest of winter dates.
On October 21, Zhou Aiying, deputy director of the Red Jujube Industry Development Center of Dali County, conducted post-disaster management training for winter jujube to villagers in the jujube garden of Boshi Village in Chaoyi Town.
On October 19, Wang Haijun, secretary of the party branch of Yantong Village in Zhaodu Town, inspected the pipeline at the drainage and drainage site along the Yellow Highway. On this section of less than 1 kilometer of road, dozens of pumps of various sizes are lined up day and night.
On October 20, in Zhaodong Village, Zhaodu Town, Wu Gangning, who had just returned home from the resettlement site, began cleaning up the water in his home and drying the bedding.
Dali is a rare plain county in Shaanxi, with an area of 1800 square kilometers, and surrounded by the Yellow River, WeiHe River and Luohe River on three sides, making this side of the water and soil more naturally beautiful. Especially in the past 20 years, the people of Dali have forged ahead in a pioneering spirit, devoted themselves to the development of modern agriculture, and built a beautiful homeland, making Dali a well-known "hometown of winter dates" in the country.
Entering September this year, the winter dates are hanging on the branches, the corn is full of gold, and another harvest autumn is coming, and the fathers and fellow villagers are full of joy to welcome the golden autumn harvest.
However, the harvest scene was accompanied by five consecutive heavy rainfall coverage, and each time it lasted a long time, the precipitation was large, the interval was short, and the cumulative rainfall was 681.0 mm, which was about 60% more than the average of 424.4 mm in the same period of the calendar year, of which the cumulative rainfall of the three heavy rainfalls in September reached 290.6 mm, which was 272% more than the average of the same period in previous years.
Continuous heavy rainfall has led to a continuous rise in the water level of the Dali section of the Luohe River, and there have been floods of super alert magnitude, and the flood control situation is very severe. On October 5, Dali County launched the Luohe IV flood control emergency response and implemented the Luohe No. 1 vigilance protection plan. As the water conditions continued to change, the Rescue and Defense Plan for Luohe No. 2 was implemented on October 6.
At 7 o'clock on October 7, the flow of the Luohe Head Observatory reached 1560 cubic meters per second, which was three times that of previous years. Continuous heavy rainfall caused the water level of the Dali section of the Luohe River to continue to rise, and there were super-alert floods one after another, and the lower reaches of the Luohe River operated at a high water level for a long time; on the 7th, the Ziyang section of the Production Embankment in Chaoyi County, Dali County, had a flood embankment breach.
No one expected that the Luo River, which had been obedient for many years, had actually "stabbed a knife" from behind Dali due to its long-term high water level operation, and swept in like a beast.
The flood situation is extremely severe!
As a result, from expecting a bumper harvest to rushing to the rescue and disaster relief, the Dali County Party Committee and the county government took the flood as an order, turned around rapidly, planned to change the plan, and moved to the front line of flood prevention. A battle of unity of purpose to face the disaster was launched in the land of Tongzhou...
Fearless resistance
On the morning of October 8, the flood of the dike was unstoppable, flooding the fertile fields, crossing the streets, and staring at the tiger only 1 kilometer away from Yantong Village in Zhaodu Town.
Seeing that the flood was about to enter the village, Wang Haijun, secretary of the party branch of Yantong Village in Zhaodu Town, led the party members and cadres in the village, young and strong laborers, to join forces and block the mouth of the village with soil and gravel bags. I thought that the water in the west was blocked, but I did not expect that the water came from the south again.
The water potential could not be controlled, and the efforts of two days and two nights of containment were in vain, and Wang Haijun had no choice but to evacuate the masses in advance. "In an hour and a half, more than 1,700 people were safely evacuated to the corresponding Village of Dihu." Wang Haijun said. Soon, the water flooded the entire village, with the deepest point being nearly 5 meters.
When Wang Haijun was the last to evacuate the village, the national model worker and the main heart of the villagers burst into tears.
Yantong Village is one of the most affected villages, this famous winter jujube village of 100 million yuan, now more than 4,000 acres of winter dates and 2,300 acres of corn contracted by the villagers are soaked in two or three meters deep water, direct economic losses of nearly 100 million yuan. Yantong Village's winter jujube is famous, and it has long been ordered by fruit merchants this year, and the full amount has been paid. "Yantong Village is a credit village, and no matter what circumstances are encountered, credit cannot be poured." Wang Haijun said, "The funds that the fruit merchants have paid, we have returned all of them!" ”
As of October 14, there were many flooding hazards and waterlogging in Dali, causing a total of 111 administrative villages in 17 towns (streets) to be affected, with a total of 251,000 people affected, resulting in a total economic loss of about 2.3 billion yuan.
In the face of disaster, life is greater than the sky.
It was a thrilling evacuation.
"The situation was urgent, the waist-length water was fast and cold, we were wearing life jackets, and 5 people carried the old man in a wheelchair to the rescue car." Zheng Hong, president of the ZhaoDu Town Center Health Center, said.
It was an orderly and efficient evacuation.
In just two days, 25,126 disaster-stricken people in the county were safely transferred and properly resettled, and there was not a single case of casualties.
How did this miracle come about?
In the office of Bai Shengli, secretary of the party committee of Zhaodu Town, the reporter saw a picture on the wall of about 1 meter long of the "Schematic Plan for the Evacuation plan of production personnel in the Zhaodu Jurisdiction of the Yellow River Beach" and the "List of Flood Control And Relocation in Zhaodu Town."
"For many years, the county has carried out flood prevention and anti-risk emergency drills every year to ensure the rapid response and safe transfer of personnel this time." All villages and towns have adopted the method of fixed-point docking and resettlement, and in the event of a disaster, the villagers will be directly transferred to the corresponding resettlement sites, and everyone knows it. Bye Victory said.
"I am a party member, I am on the front line, rescue and disaster relief, rebuild my home, Zhao Du refueled!" In those days, this earth-shaking oath resounded on every scene of rescue and disaster relief.
"On the day of the disaster, we set up a temporary party branch together with the corresponding resettlement villages, and all party members wore party member badges and red armbands. We must let the masses know that no matter how serious the disaster is, there are party members to protect it! Liu Tielong, a village cadre in Xinjian Village, said.
On October 7 and 9, it rained again and the water flow became more and more urgent. The Ziyang section of the Chaoyi production embankment and the Lehe section of Zhaodu Town broke through two places.
Heavy water continues to pour in, and the flood control line is full of dangers.
More than 1,500 party members and cadres, militia, rescue commandos and the masses in the county threw themselves into the rescue and blockade battle. More than 200 excavators, forklifts and transport vehicles passed through the mud, and 4,500 tons of tip material and more than 30,000 soil bags were thrown into the flood.
At 17:36 on October 12, after day and night construction and overtime rushing to block, the Ziyang section of the Chaoyi production embankment was successfully closed. At 16:35 on October 13, after all the rescue personnel continued to fight and work together to overcome the stronghold, the Luohe Lehe section broke through successfully, and at this point, the two duels in the Dali section of the Luohe River were finally closed.
However, the disaster has not yet been lifted, Song Xiaojun, director of the Dali County Emergency Management Bureau, said: "We insist on the scene of personnel do not withdraw, equipment is not reduced, emergency personnel continue to fight, the levee to strengthen and widen." Cadres are responsible for cadres, party members are on duty, and 24-hour inspection and monitoring is carried out in key areas. ”

Renewed hope
On October 16, Ma Qingwen, a villager in Yantong Village, Zhaodu Town, who had been away from home for five days, finally returned home. Opening the door, he saw plastic basins and toys floating on the water about 15 centimeters high in the house, and electrical appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators were still soaking in the water.
"On the 11th, we evacuated from the village to the resettlement site, although the family is in a mess now, but the home is there, and hope is there." Ma Qingwen said. After cleaning the room with his daughter-in-law, he hurried to pick up his 94-year-old mother. "Previously, the old mother was sent to her sister's house with the help of village cadres." Seeing the reporter, the old man kept clapping his hands and hanging on his face with the joy of going home.
With the cleaning and restoration of various facilities in Yantong Village, the villagers have returned to their homes one after another and begun an orderly post-disaster self-help work.
The road collapsed, and the transportation department assessed the damage to the highway and deployed emergency repairs, risk removal, and reinforcement.
When the houses are flooded, the county housing and construction bureau conducts safety inspection and appraisal of all houses, establishes a ledger for each household, seals the dangerous houses, and determines the repair and reinforcement plan.

——" We firmly believe that people, homes, and hope are there." In the face of reporters, Tang Yongjun, a villager in Xin'an Village, Zhaodu Town, said.
Where does the confidence of the affected people come from?
"Because the government helps us think of difficulties in the front, helps us share our worries and solve difficulties, and helps us to support the bottom." Tang Yongjun said.
Allowing the disaster-stricken people to have food to eat, clothing, housing, clean water to drink, timely treatment of illnesses, and no safety accidents is the solemn commitment of the Dali County Party Committee and the county government in the face of the disaster.

The whole county plays a game of chess, the cadres and the masses have a heart, and the "sons and daughters of the three rivers" are determined and courageous in the face of this sudden disaster.
On October 20, this reporter saw in Dali County that in the places where the disaster was relatively light, party members and cadres organized the masses to drain water and drain in an orderly manner, and allocated agricultural machinery to grab harvest and grab seeds. In the hardest-hit areas, more than 100 pumps are still roaring day and night.
In order to prevent some people from returning to poverty due to disasters, Dali County has issued a plan to ensure that the income of the masses is not reduced by developing public welfare posts, organizing and dispatching migrant workers and civil affairs assistance.
In order to reduce the impact of the disaster on the county economy, the Dali County Party Committee and the county government have organized the Finance Bureau and other departments to re-evaluate the projects in the affected areas and the county, and sorted out a total of 441 post-disaster start-up projects to make up for the disaster losses, effectively promote the post-disaster reconstruction work, and maximize the stable development of the Dali economy.
At about 6 p.m. on October 20, the reporter met with You Jianxin, the secretary of the county party committee who was still suffering from a cold for more than 50 days in office. He told reporters that what he was most relieved about in this disaster was that there were no casualties, which ensured the safety of the lives of the masses. This is due to the strong support and timely guidance of the relevant central ministries and commissions and provincial and municipal governments; to the cadres and masses of the whole county who hear the "flood" and move, move toward the "flood", and bear the responsibility of working together with one heart and one direction; and benefit from the forward command, scientific command and precise command in the fight against the flood situation. "Facing Dali and facing the future, we are full of confidence and are currently formulating a scientific and reasonable post-disaster reconstruction plan to ensure the orderly and efficient operation of the reconstruction work." Said by Jianxin.
Cloudy, rainy, cold and cold are the deepest impressions left by people this autumn, and for the cadres and masses of Dali, this autumn has a skin-like memory.
At the time of this writing, the reporter learned from the Luohe Flood Prevention and Rescue Command in Dali County that 3,267 villagers from 14 centralized resettlement sites have returned to their homes, and 156 people are waiting to be relocated at the resettlement sites. They will move into standard wintering houses that the government is planning to build, waiting for spring to come.
On October 21, the long-lost sun finally shone into Dali. The roads in the disaster area are still muddy, all kinds of pumping machines are still roaring, the villagers who have returned home are busy cleaning the courtyard, some villagers have been anxious to grab the only remaining winter dates in the treetops in the water that has not yet receded, and teams of cadres wear rain boots through the towns and villages in the disaster area, planning the construction after the disaster together with the village cadres...
