Question: What were people doing at the time of the rainstorm?

I’m a worker in a large bookstore. When the rainstorm came, I was busy moving the books to higher places with other workers. However, the water got into our bookstore quickly. It was rising so fast that quite a lot of books got wet.

—Mr. Zhang

I was on the train at that time. I was watching videos on my phone when the rainstorm came. Because the rain was too heavy, the train had to stop on the way. I didn’t have enough food or water. The situation was dangerous and I didn’t know if I could go back home.

—Miss Liu

I was doing the dishes when the rain began to beat heavily against the windows. My daughter was drawing in her bedroom. Suddenly, the light went on and off for a few times and then went out completely. Soon, the water came into our house and my daughter was crying. Luckily, our neighbors took a boat to us and helped us out.

—Mrs. Li
