Jintian Village, Zhongchuan Township, Minhe County, Haidong Province, Qinghai Province, is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, only a few hundred meters away from the Yellow River. Jintian Village is across the river from Jishishan County, Gansu Province, the epicenter of the earthquake, and has been severely affected. According to CCTV News, shortly after the earthquake, in Jintian Village and Caotan Village in Zhongchuan Township, Minhe County, the earthquake triggered a sand surge, and a large number of houses were surrounded and washed away by silt, and two people were lost.
More than 600 firefighters searched for and rescued the missing people
Su Dechen, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, believes that this is a geological disaster, called sand surge phenomenon, that is, the sand with high underground water content is quickly liquefied and ejected out of the ground after being strongly shaken and squeezed during an earthquake. As a secondary disaster of earthquakes, sand surges often strike suddenly and are very destructive. "When the sand surge phenomenon occurs, people should try to run to high places to avoid danger. Su Dechen reminded. After the disaster, many rescue forces rushed to help Jintian Village. Qinghai Provincial Fire and Rescue Corps organized rescue overnight, by asking the local party committee and government, rural residents, combined with manual, search and rescue dogs, instrument reconnaissance, search and other methods, Qinghai Fire and Rescue Corps initially established 5 rescue points, and linked the mobile rescue team A total of 605 fire commanders and fighters and 14 search and rescue dogs carried out uninterrupted demolition and removal, dredging and obstacle removal, and search and rescue of missing people at 5 rescue points.

The Shandong reinforcement team carried out a search mission with four search and rescue dogs in the collapsed area of the house in Jintian Village.

"Are you cold?" "Not cold!"
On the afternoon of the 20th, the resettlement work in Jintian Village was already being carried out in an orderly manner. In a nearby clearing, two rows of tents lined up one after the other, with the words "Disaster Relief" prominently emblazoned. Rescue vehicles drove in one after another, bringing relief supplies such as coal stoves, rack beds, bedding and food. The staff unloaded the supplies and placed them neatly in specific areas, and the affected people lined up to sign and receive the supplies in turn. At the same time, volunteers and people affected by the disaster were busy loading coal stoves, and they worked together to carry and install them. It wasn't long before the heat from the coal stove was able to dispel the chill inside the tent.

There was also a heartwarming scene at the resettlement site, where enthusiastic merchants spontaneously arrived with tools and flour to make steaming ramen for the affected people. Merchants have set up makeshift ramen stalls and set up cauldrons for boiling water. The noodles are kneaded, pulled, boiled, and topped with soup and condiments prepared in advance, and bowls of steaming and fragrant ramen noodles are made.
There are enthusiastic businesses on the spot, so that the affected people can eat a bite of hot ramen
In front of a tent at a resettlement site in Jintian Village, Ms. Wang's family of six just moved here this morning, and the cotton tent has been equipped with coal stoves and bedding, and the beds are being assembled.
Victims receive folding beds and are preparing to put them in their tents
Ms. Wang, who usually works in other places, rushed back to the village as soon as she received the news of the earthquake. Her family's house had been flooded with mud and had not had time to salvage many valuables, "the house was gone, there was nothing," Ms. Wang said, "but the most fortunate thing was that there were no casualties among the family." "Are you cold?" "Not cold!" In another tent, 8-year-old Zhang Ming (not his real name) is playing with his mobile phone with his friends, who also moved into the resettlement site this morning. When the earthquake struck, Zhang Ming was led out of the house by his parents, and he had nowhere to go in the cold, so he had to live in a neighbor's house temporarily. When I got home at dawn to check, I found that the house had been flooded with mud.
In Zhang Ming's eyes, the food at the resettlement site is not bad, in addition to instant noodle biscuits, there are also steaming beef noodles. Although he had just experienced an earthquake, Zhang Ming was not afraid, "I have my parents with me".
