Heroes of Flood Fighting: The Struggle and Rescue of Zhongtu.com
Introduction: On August 3, in the hot summer, Zhongtu.com topped the Weibo hot search list with its heroic deeds of fighting floods. Heavy rainfall hit Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and other places, and Zhuozhou, Hebei Province became a severely affected area. In this sudden flood, Zhongtu.com's warehouse was flooded, and millions of books were sunk in the water. However, in a critical moment, the staff of Zhongtu.com showed a touching and profound story of flood fighting with fearless courage and the spirit of solidarity. By reconstructing the narrative sequence, adding details and improving the wording, this article will deeply explore the flood fighting experience of Zhongtu.com and the difficult challenges they face.
At the tail of July, bad weather swept through the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and heavy rain was like a note. The flood control situation in Zhuozhou, Hebei Province is grim, and the southwest logistics center in Beijing has become an important base for book storage in the country. The warehouses of many publishing houses and book companies have been severely damaged, and Zhongtu.com, as the outlet of the book industry, has a breathtakingly large inventory.
On the afternoon of August 1, the bad weather worsened, and the storage center of Zhongtu.com began to be flooded. The flood is raging and unstoppable. The staff did their best to pile sandbags in front of the warehouse, but the flood was so powerful that it even broke the door of one warehouse. As a result, dozens of staff members were forced to retreat to the office building, where they felt the water gradually rise and watched the water level from their knees to their waists to their chests.
Stubborn reconstruction: the challenges faced by Zhongtu.com
However, after the floodwaters receded, the difficulties faced by Zhongtu.com were still severe. The staff said in a resolute tone that they had not only lost money, but also many precious and irreproducible books, which were scarce, out of print, and old books that were now sinking into the water. Zhongtu.com's storage center in Zhuozhou stores more than 4 million books, most of which are stored on the first floor of the warehouse, and only a small part is stored on the attic shelves on the second floor.
Zhongtu.com had prepared preventive measures long before the flood season, buying more than 2,000 sandbags, generators and pumps. However, these efforts seemed insignificant in the face of the flood. Huang Ping, general manager of Zhongtu.com, bluntly said that the water depth of the warehouse has reached about two meters, and it is impossible to save itself, and can only wait for the flood water to recede before inventory inventory and rescue. He added that despite the enormous difficulties, he hopes that some of the sealed books will be rescued.
Despite the devastating blow, the staff of Zhongtu.com did not lose confidence, but faced the difficult situation with a stronger will. The official WeChat post said that they will work hard to rebuild and try to survive. Staff say their loss is not just material, but also a cultural and spiritual one. They know that although the current situation is difficult, they must face up to and overcome all difficulties.

Huang Ping, general manager of Zhongtu.com, told reporters on August 2 that the flood was the most devastating blow suffered by Zhongtu.com since its establishment. However, he said they will not be knocked down, but will rise up in difficult times and continue to contribute to the book industry.
For the messages of netizens, Zhongtu.com also responded. In the face of the warm encouragement and help suggestions of netizens, Zhongtu.com emphasized the difference between books soaked by floods and books soaked in ordinary rain, pointing out that books soaked in floods may have residual dirt and germs, so these books with potential safety hazards will not be handed over to readers.
As one staff member put it: "People are there, books are there." When people are there, the books will come back. "The flood fighting story of Zhongtu.com highlights the close connection between people and books. In the face of the flood, the staff of Zhongtu.com not only protected their own lives, but also tried their best to protect the books in the warehouse. Their perseverance and struggle let people see the responsibility and mission behind the book business.
Although the flood brought great challenges to Zhongtu.com, it also inspired their perseverance. The story of Chinatu.com's flood fight is admirable, not only showing unity and courage, but also demonstrating its commitment to cultural inheritance. Although the flood took away some of the precious books, the spirit of Zhongtu.com will remain in people's hearts forever.
