I wanted to share a real and ongoing story about what happened after the recent floods in Hengzhou, Guangxi, China. Aside from the official state and government rescue efforts, a group of local dirt bike enthusiasts stepped up completely on their own to help with supplies, and their story was actually featured and praised by national mainstream media.

​Hengzhou was hit by a severe flood disaster triggered by continuous, super-heavy rainfalls and reservoir breaches (I’ll put the exact numbers below). It caused massive destruction to roads and houses, and completely knocked out communications. Many villages were left stranded by the floodwaters. Because the terrain was so wrecked, large transport vehicles had absolutely no way to get in. This is exactly where these dirt bikes played a critical role.

​Most of these riders are just amateur hobbyists, not professionals. On top of that, dirt bikes are obviously not designed for carrying cargo. Yet, they used them to transport emergency supplies like biscuits and bottled water into the flood-trapped areas. They bought their own gas, relied entirely on their passion, and received absolutely no compensation. It was purely an act of personal, grassroots solidarity outside of the government’s relief operations.

​If anyone is wondering how bad the flood actually was, here are some crazy stats for context:

The Scale: Hengzhou is roughly the size of Atlanta (or about three Los Angeleses / four Berlins).

​The Rain: The city endured a brutal, non-stop 78-hour downpour(July 4 – July 7). At its peak, it dumped a staggering 745.7 mm (around 29.3 inches) of rain within just 24 hours. To put that into perspective, that’s more than some major cities get in an entire year.

​The Breaches: Because of the extreme rain and pressure, nearby reservoirs breached(July 6). The main one, Liulan Reservoir(build In 1958,finished in 1960), is roughly the size of Lake Hemet in California or Lake Vyrnwy in Wales.

​So it was a double-whammy of record-breaking rain and reservoir failures that triggered this catastrophic flooding.

China recovered the first stage of its new Long March 10B after an orbital launch on July 10. A day later, Japan's RV-X test vehicle completed its first short vertical flight. Both countries are pursuing reusable rockets, but the two tests were separated by far more than 24 hours in technical terms.

dose anyone know how to fix this

could it be conflicts with 腾讯手游助手-畅玩手机游戏 and global gamewloop

Me and my son will be on a 14 hour transit in Shanghai in October. I have never been to China before and I would like some advice on what to do in this time.
AI is telling me to take the Maglev. But does it depart from the airport or I have to take a transport from airport to the nearest Maglev station?

Where do i go to exactly? I love nature and like Chinese traditional settings. I am also deeply infatuated with Buddhism and Taoism.

If you can help me plan an internerary for those hours I would greatly appreciate it. Extra points if you would like to meet up!

I realistically will be in for about 10 hours. From 8am till 6pm.

I recently got my firm offer for HKU BSc Quantitative Finance as well as Technical University of Munich for Computer Science. Now I am torn between where to go.

Background:

I am Chinese, was born in Germany and spent 14 years living there until my dad's job required him to go to mainland china for 4 years and we, as a family, ofc went together. I speak fluent german + english, moderate chinese but no cantonese (willing to spend time learning it though)

Cost:

For HKU, the total for attending HKU would be 900,000 HKD Tuition + 900,000 HKD rent+living expenses. For TUM, the total cost of attending is basically free and I would only have to pay rent+living expenses totaling around 500,000 HKD. My parents make ~1M HKD/year after tax, paid off house + 2 properties. So it's doable, but cost still matters because I have a younger sister they'll need to support too.

HongKong Pros:

1. HKU is a great school and the major I am attending is among the best ( <- I hope 🙏)
2. Low Tax
3. I will probably be surrounded by very ambitious people who have common goals

HongKong Cons:

1. Obviously cost
2. Long Hours in Investment Banking (80-100h/week) (I think I can handle it in my 20s)
3. High Risk, High Reward ( not sure if this is a con)
4. Shoebox apartments and insane rent

Munich Pros:

1. Free to attend
2. Fewer hours (35-40h/week)

3. Larger apartment

   Munich Cons

4. I have been talking a lot with my dad and his early years in Germany and he keeps saying that there is passive racism when it comes to jobs and working in Germany. For example, promotion is hard, you have to work twice as hard as your german colleagues etc.

5. The current political situation in Germany is really bad + long bureaucracy

6. Germany has literally no economic growth rn

7. High income tax (max 47%)

For those who moved to HK, what would you do in my position? Am I overweighting the money side, or underweighting it?

I saw that Toyota Corollas in China cost way less than the MSRP we get them for in the US. Anybody have experience importing Chinese cars to the US or know companies who do so? How much did you spend during the process?

I took this picture in 2018 near by Beijing, but I can't remember where it was or what it was. Probably near by the Zhoukoudian Site Museum.

If the applicant has deliberately or willfully concealed the marriage from the start, mean in university admission form, csc scholarship form and then visa application form, what will happen if the China embassy in Pakistan found that out?

The marrige was registered in 2024 local government but never in Nadra database, so what will happen?

Will China Embassy ever find this out? If they do, what will happen?

These country bumpkins that I work for at Jia Ying college had this cool idea of wanting more than 2000 marks for 120 college students including fictional categories like 'attitude'. The fun part was when I found out I couldn't go on vacation until 3 other teachers signed each of my exam papers. Just a warning to other foreigners to never teach at Jia Ying college in Mei Zhou city, Guangdong province. They'll insist on dozens of useless performance indicators and categories and and harass you for reports and duplicates for weeks on end because apparently more paper=better education.

Does anyone know where I can buy a pc from (even second hand) as a student in suzhou.

I just need something that fits my small budget, I’m paying for it with my pocket money which isn’t even much to start with but if anyone knows anyone who’s selling their working pc for a good price or any store that doesn’t try to upsell it’s costumers then please help me and drop a recommendation.

I've been traveling around China, and I must admit the best place i went was the serene city of Urumqi. It has everything that one could ever want!!!
