Rainstorm in Ningbo

        I'm sad to know that these days a rainstorm hit my hometown, Ningbo. I saw one of the hot topics of this week on Weibo, the biggest Chinese social network, is that a typhoon named Fitow hit the Zhejiang Province, and cause a rainstorm in Ningbo. It is the biggest rainstorm Ningbo has ever met in last 60 years. The big rainstorm bring a flood to Ningbo.
        The flood reflect the good of humanity. The social network like Weibo played a large role during the flood. I saw friends and other people post and transmit a lot of information on Weibo, so I can know the happening of the rainstorm even earlier than the time I saw mews about it. Then more and more information have been posted to Weibo, people who were stuck send the message about their location and what goods they need, people who got separated with their families tried to get in touch with each other, and many people use the social network tells other the condition of the disaster on their area to help police and volunteers get the information they need.The local government also choose Weibo as the fastest official information distribution channel. And these large amount of information make others easier to help the people who are in trouble. The social network take the place of the traditional media and become the most important media during the flood. And the social network shows more power in helping people, because it is faster and base on person. So that more volunteers and more goods can get there, because we know more. In the time of the traditional media, donate some money is the only thing we can do during the disaster. Society is better and better continually, and motivate people's humanity.
       On the other hand, the rainstorm shows many problem we didn't pay enough attention to. Our drainage system is still not work very well, though we talk about it every rainy season. It seems that government are always discuss about upgrade the system but haven't do anything really. And our rescue system also needs to improve their ability, to keep the power supplying, and use different method to offer the goods to people. I think they need more air power, like more helicopter. But in general, the government and the police did a good job, of course people always want them be better, and they should try their best to be better.
       At last, hope everyone are fine and we can overcome the disaster soon.
