Since June 23, there have been heavy rainfall in the southern and southeastern parts of Guizhou Province. In San Du County, Qian Nan Prefecture, the collapse of the Xiarong High-speed Monkey River Bridge occurred due to continuous heavy rainfall-induced landslides. In Rongjiang County, Qian Dong Nan Prefecture and Cong Jiang County, the river section experienced flooding above the guaranteed water level. On the morning of June 24, Xu Lin, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee who was conducting research in Qian Nan Prefecture, immediately adjusted his schedule upon hearing the news and rushed to the scene of the collapsed section of the Xiarong High-speed Bridge to direct and handle the situation. He requested to strengthen on-site control, deploy professional forces to conduct a comprehensive investigation of surrounding hidden risks, ensure the safe evacuation of personnel, and quickly repair the damaged bridge to restore traffic order. Later, Xu Lin rushed to the emergency command center of Qian Dong Nan Prefecture and video linked with Rongjiang County and Cong Jiang County to command and dispatch flood prevention, emergency rescue, and disaster relief work. He emphasized the need to thoroughly implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on flood prevention and disaster relief work, always putting the people and lives first, and making every effort to win the tough battle of flood prevention, emergency rescue, and disaster relief. Qian Dong Nan Prefecture, Rongjiang County, and Cong Jiang County should prioritize flood prevention and disaster relief as the most important tasks at hand, prioritize the evacuation of the masses, organize forces to resolutely and decisively evacuate threatened residents, ensure that not a single household or person is left behind, and minimize disaster losses to the greatest extent. The relevant departments of the province and Qian Dong Nan Prefecture should strengthen work coordination, coordinate and strengthen the distribution of rescue materials and forces, and properly relocate the affected population. All local departments should learn from this situation and stay vigilant, fulfill their responsibilities with a sense of "always vigilant," implement detailed disaster prevention, reduction, and relief measures, and ensure safe flood control. Provincial leaders Guo Xiwen and Li Jian also participated.
