On July 20, Zhengzhou suffered a rare heavy rainstorm. The continuous heavy precipitation caused serious water accumulation in the urban area, and after 15:00 on the same day, the vehicles could not pass. During the subsequent rush hour, countless people were trapped in cars, streets, subway stations, shopping malls and other places unable to return home, followed by many buildings without water and electricity.

Yang Zhen, the marketing director of the Oscar Garden Store at Zhengzhou Oriental Jiahe Cinema, was blocked by torrential rain on the evening of July 20, like many citizens. After being trapped in the subway station for two hours, Yang Zhen waded back into the theater and found that the theater had water and electricity, so he opened the door of the theater and sent a message to the outside: the theater can settle the citizens who cannot go home.
"But because the theater is on the 14th floor of the mall, the rain is heavy at night, and the network signal is not good, many people don't know the specific location of the theater." Liu Xueke told reporters that at 1 a.m. on July 21, she and her colleague Shen Lu, who was also stranded in the company, immediately came to the street after confirming the authenticity of the message sent by Yang Zhen, waded back and forth between shopping malls, subway stations, and office buildings, and found stranded citizens to take them to Yang Zhen's theater.
"At that time, the water on the road was above the knee, the rain was also very heavy, because the power was blackened and the light was also very poor, we kept looking for someone to find someone to find more than 3 a.m. to return to the company, in fact, neither of us went into the theater." Shen Lu said that after returning to the company, their clothes were drenched and stuck to their bodies, and the air conditioner was blown dry for a long time by the warm wind.

Later, Yang Zhen estimated that there were about a hundred citizens who were led to the theater by two girls that night, and the entire theater settled nearly a thousand trapped people on the night of the rainstorm. The theater provided them with hot water, charging, snacks, etc. for free.
The reporter learned from the interview that in fact, the two girls are still college students, both "post-00s". Liu Xueke is a student of the Yellow River Institute of Science and Technology, and Shen Lu is a student of the Xinyuan Campus of Henan Light Industry Vocational College, and they happened to be working as summer vacation workers in a shop when the rainstorm occurred.
Why did it take so long to show up? So many netizens are worried about whether they are safe, Yang Zhen persevered to find them also wanted to know whether they were safe that night.
In this regard, Shen Lu said that they did not know that Yang Zhen and netizens had been looking for them. "Because I have to take online classes and go to work, I usually pay little attention to network information, or my friends see the news and ask me, I know that Teacher Yang is looking for us, I really didn't expect that the trivial things we did are still remembered."
On the evening of September 19, when talking to Yang Zhen on the phone, Shen Lu cried incoherently on the phone, and many emotions of emotion, excitement and joy were intertwined. And the stone that had been pressed on Yang Zhen's heart for two months finally landed, "Now knowing that they are safe is the best result." ”
In addition to flowers, Yang Zhen's theater also presented two girls with honorary certificates, hired them to become honorary employees of the theater, and gave them two movie cards, which can be watched for free unlimited times.
For these sudden care and praise, Liu Xueke and Shen Lu expressed their flattery: "Thank you for the care, praise and blessing of so many people, we will continue to transmit positive energy with this love and touch." (End)
