Red Net Moment News correspondent Huang Ping and Luo Jing report from Chenzhou
"Uncle Zhu, it's too dangerous here! Don't dig it! Our office will be able to re-apply for your ID card and household registration book immediately. Recently, when Li Hongjun, director of the Liangshuikou Police Station of the Guidong County Public Security Bureau, was patrolling the area, he saw Zhu Zexuan, a left-behind elderly man over seventy years old in the Dengjia Group of Luojia Village, Guidong County, looking for his ID card and cash on the ruins of a collapsed house, and hurriedly persuaded him to leave to avoid being threatened by secondary disasters.
Affected by Typhoon "Gemei", Guidong County suffered heavy rainfall, road collapses and landslides in the jurisdiction of Qingshan Township, Guidong County, and water, electricity, roads and telecommunications were interrupted.

"My house is about to get flooded, you can help me." At about 4 o'clock in the morning on July 27, the police of the Liangshuikou Police Station of the Guidong County Public Security Bureau, who were still asleep, were startled by the sudden ringing of the phone.
"Police intelligence is an order!" Li Hongjun woke up all the police officers to get up immediately and devote themselves to flood prevention and disaster relief work to protect the lives and property of the people in Qingshan.
"Oops, the office is flooding, and once important materials such as archives and files are destroyed, the consequences are unimaginable. It is important to protect information, and it is urgent to help the people, so everyone should act separately! After Li Hongjun went down to the first floor, he found that yellow muddy water was pouring in through the gap under the door, and the water level was already twenty or thirty centimeters high.
On July 26, he was originally going to go home to take care of his children on the weekend, but after receiving the rainstorm warning, he did not dare to slack off at all and decided to stay on duty in the station. On July 27, before the house was cleaned up, the people in the jurisdiction called for help, and in just 20 minutes, they received seven or eight, some of them were flooded at home, and even houses collapsed and needed to be evacuated, and some were impassable due to road collapses and needed assistance.
At 5:14 a.m., the Liangshuikou Police Station received a report from the masses that the 80-year-old Huang family and his wife were living in a mud house near the Qingshan Primary and Secondary School in Luojia Village, Qingshan Township, Guidong County, and asked for help from the police.
The road from the police station to Luojia Village, Qingshan Township, Guidong County, was washed away by floods, and the people's auxiliary police were unable to go to the scene to carry out rescue work in a short time. Li Hongjun immediately remembered that Jiang Qiaoxin, an auxiliary policeman living in the joint construction site, was relatively close to the police station, and quickly ordered him and Luojiacun village auxiliary policeman Huang Shuihui to go to the police.
At that time, the flood water had risen to the height of the hood of the car, and it was impossible to drive the vehicle on the road, so the two had to choose a higher path to go to the police on foot.
"I have cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease, and I can't do without medicine for three meals a day, so I have to go in and find my medicine. My chickens will drown if they don't take them away. Seeing the police coming, the old man who had no master was immediately reassured, and turned around and walked towards the back of the house.
The kitchen and chicken shed behind the house were swaying in the wind and rain, and the water was running down the hillside on the side of the house, and the water inside the house was knee-high. Jiang Qiaoxin hurriedly followed up with the old man in the house and persuaded them to evacuate quickly.

Under the persuasion of the two, the two old men simply packed their luggage, and Jiang Qiaoxin and Huang Shuihui immediately supported the old man and quickly transferred to the office building of the Qingshan Township People's Government.
Fifteen minutes later, the kitchen of the old couple's house collapsed due to a flash flood.
"Thanks to these two police comrades, they saved my parents! My dad is suffering from a variety of diseases, and when I rush from home, I'm afraid that both old people will be in danger! The old couple's son, Xiao Huang, lives on the other side of Luojia Village in Guidong County.
In the early morning of July 27, he received a call from his parents and drove there. As a result, the water flow on the road was too strong for the car to move, so he had to drive the car home. When he went out again, he heard the relatives next door asking for help, and when he remembered his parents after helping, the kitchen of the old house had collapsed, and more than half of the house was flooded. Fortunately, the old man has been transferred to the township government.
"Fortunately, the two old people reacted quickly, they thought of asking for help after the water entered the house, and they couldn't remember other calls, only remembered the 110 police number!" Recalling the danger in the early morning of that day, Xiao Huang took Jiang Qiaoxin's hand and thanked him over and over again, praising the police's rescue speed and professional handling.
"Everyone quickly move to higher ground, low-lying places are dangerous." Jiang Qiaoxin and Huang Shuihui ran back and forth in Luojia Village, Guidong County, loudly reminding the masses to move.
"I'm so scared, such deep water." When Jiang Qiaoxin went to the supply and marketing cooperative, he found a middle-aged woman standing in the attic on the second floor and didn't know how to get out of danger. When the water on the first floor reached waist-high, Jiang Qiaoxin climbed the stairs to help the middle-aged woman out of danger and lead her to the township government.
At the same time, the village auxiliary police of Zhaiping Village, Caidong Village, Songjia Village, and Bamianshan Village also received a call from the director and worked with the village cadres to transfer the people to a safe place.

At 5:20 a.m., the police station received a report from Uncle Zhu, an elderly man living alone, that his house was flooded and asked for help from the police.
The police station was built next to the river, and when the flood hit, the sky was not yet dawning, and it was impossible to distinguish where the road was, where the field was, and where the pit was.
Usually a few minutes can walk, Li Hongjun and auxiliary police officer Guo Baosheng walked for almost 20 minutes.
At 5:50 a.m., the two braved the heavy rain to arrive at Uncle Zhu's house. Uncle Zhu was worried that the house would collapse, and was wielding a hoe to drain the water, but the water was rushing down the road and down the ridges, and Uncle Zhu's house was already crumbling in the wind and rain.
Uncle Zhu saw the police coming over and beckoned them to dig a ditch together. Li Hongjun estimates that the old man's house is estimated to not last long, and emergency evacuation is the safest and safest way to evacuate at the moment.
So the two hurriedly called Uncle Zhu, pulled him to a higher field, and moved to the police station. After taking a few steps, Uncle Zhu suddenly turned around and walked back, "I still have 800 yuan in cash in my room!" ”
Li Hongjun decisively grabbed Uncle Zhu, "Don't go in now, the house may collapse at any time!" Before the group walked down the slope, they heard a rumble behind them, and Uncle Zhu's house collapsed.
"Fortunately, you grabbed me, otherwise I would have been buried in it with the money......" After arriving at a safe place, Uncle Zhu held the policeman's hand tightly and said excitedly.

The Liangshuikou police station was also hit by flooding. When the water level in the office area on the first floor is at its highest, it has reached the table top of the office coffee table. Due to the continuous receipt of calls for help on his mobile phone, Li Hongjun explained the order and key points of the rescue materials to the auxiliary police officer Chen Yi, and then went to the police with Guo Baosheng non-stop to carry out the rescue.
"I've grown so big, and I've never seen such a big flood in Qingshan!" Chen Yi is a native of Qingshan, and she was also frightened when she saw such heavy rain and floods.
At about 11 a.m. on July 27, the rain gradually subsided and the flood water gradually receded. Everyone finished their rounds and finally had a few minutes to have breakfast. After eating, they continued to go into the house to understand the disaster situation and transfer the affected people in time, and they successively participated in the transfer of more than 100 people.
"The police station is our 'base area', and it also bears the responsibility of serving the people, so we must restore the office order of the police station as soon as possible and solve our worries." On July 28, after the river water dropped to a safe level, the number of police requests for help gradually decreased, and Li Hongjun called on all the people's auxiliary police to quickly carry out post-disaster reconstruction.
They first used shovels to remove all the thick layer of sediment accumulated in the courtyard of the police station, and then borrowed generators and pumps from next door to wash away all the silt accumulated in the office. At night, no one mentioned rest or tiredness, they all cheered each other up, and cleaned up everything inside and outside the police station overnight.
In just 48 hours, they overcame all kinds of difficulties and obstacles to restore order in the office area.
"Isn't your police station flooded?" Some people asked suspiciously when they passed by, and everyone just smiled.
After the heavy rain, the streets, front and back of houses, and rivers and ditches are filled with silt, stones and garbage, seriously affecting the normal production and life of the people. The people's auxiliary police of the whole institute went on the road, and together with the township cadres and the masses and the emergency rescue team, they wielded shovels and shovels, removed gravel, cleaned up garbage, scoured the ground, timely dredging and sewage discharge, restored the sanitary environment, and worked hard to restore the normal production and life order of the masses.
"There are no more than 10 public security and criminal cases in the jurisdiction of the Liangshuikou Police Station every year." Li Hongjun introduced while counting his fingers, and on the 27th alone, he received 26 alarms of various types and transferred 154 people from the disaster. "The number of police officers received in the past few days is almost catching up with the amount of the previous year."
"It's hard to find the police!" "When the flash flood comes, I only remember the 110 police call!" All the people's auxiliary police of the Liangshuikou Police Station and the people of Qingshan are together, overcome difficulties together, and strive to compose a harmonious song of "police and people are one family" in the new era.
