In 2016, Zhengzhou announced that it would invest 53.48 billion RMB (about $8.45 billion)to build a "sponge city" for drainage and rain prevention by 2020. But in this flood test, the sponge city project does not look like it's working. On July 21, China's official media, CCTV, reported that the "sponge city" only works for small to medium rainfall, and cannot cope with "heavy rainfall of more than 100 years". So, it is probably because nature did not cooperate with Zhengzhou's sponge city project, and the amount of rain it put here was not in the Chinese government's urban construction plan. The floods in Henan also revealed several loopholes in the urban infrastructure and planning and construction of Zhengzhou and other places: poor drainage systems, unsound roads, poor foundations, power outages due to heavy rains and flooding, water outages due to power outages, and obstruction of emergency water supply and transportation of relief supplies. It is believed that this is not only a problem in Zhengzhou as a city, but the worrying quality problems in Chinese manufacturing, which are becoming more and more evident in the flood-washed land. #flood#collapse#Zhengzhou Have questions?

I'm starting to speak now.
This is the 14th floor.
As you can see, the whole building is leaning back.
The staff are all standing up.
There's nothing else to do.
Then we'll wait for May to see what happens.
Take a look at the whole hotel.
It's already down there.
Take a look.
It's already on the border.
All the small hospitals are here.
This part.
It's all going down.
This is the big hospital in Zhengzhou.
Wuhan village, Wuhan village.
It's all going down.
This is the north side of the road.
This is the end of the road.
Three meters.
The whole road is empty now.
The deepest place is more than one meter deep.
This is the car from the past.
It's true.
Because it's upside down.
There's going to be a big accident.
The road is basically.
It's all hanging down.
Look at the bottom.
That's what it's all about.
It's all going down.
The big car is upside down.
We have a beer factory in Yili.
You send it every day.
Twice a day, morning and night.
When this place is normal.
It should belong to the county.
Or the county.
But no one cares now.
I don't know what the intelligence department is doing.
Because I'm telling the truth.
I'm this.
Oh, this is fast.
I've been crazy for three days.
I hope Zhou Fei will still be crazy enough.
It's all about talking to the people.
Do something real.
Think about the interests of the people.
Think about the safety of the people.
As a result, they also sealed my express number.
This is a stone knife.
This is subway line 12.
Ping An Dadao and Longzihu Xilu intersection.
This left-hand side.
There was a major mistake.
The car was dropped into the pit.
See?
Now it's a long-term scene.
The whole road is broken.
Look at the cement car down there.
It's pouring cement in there.
But it doesn't matter.
The water is still flowing in several directions.
See?
The other side is also flowing.
A lot of water has already been dug into the subway station.
Some subway stations have been under construction for a long time.
Look at the water.
A lot of water has flowed into the subway.
Now even the stewed dog chicken is in there.
The stewed dog chicken has been picked up.
Look at the car down there.
Zhongtie Line 16.
This is Zhongtie Line 11.
Ah.
It's still raining.
Stop.
Get off the car.
Stop at the government station.
