Rescuers and firefighters braved heavy rainfall to rescue people stranded in flooded areas of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Tuesday and north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Monday. In Tian'e County, Guangxi, a sudden rainstorm battered a village, leaving a couple stranded after they crossed a river to check on their farmland. Local villagers launched a rescue operation soon after learning the couple had become trapped in floodwater. Rescuers managed to set up a rope across the river, with its ends fastened to trees on both banks. Escorted by the rescuers, the couple successfully waded through deep water and were evacuated to safety. In Xinghe County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, a vehicle was swept into a river while attempting to cross a flooded bridge. The vehicle became partially submerged and tilted in the water, forcing the driver to climb onto its roof and wait for rescue. Firefighters used a rope to deliver a life jacket and helmet to the stranded driver before pulling him safely back to shore.
