The super typhoon "Mesak" hit with extreme heavy rains. Guangxi's school town was caught in the double attack of continuous dragon boat water and strange meteorological patterns. A flood prevention test that intertwined natural disasters and man-made disasters suddenly kicked off. Lin Rui, who was the first mayor of the town, was obsessed with industrial development and ignored the hidden dangers of reservoir leakage discovered by veteran water conservancy workers. He was caught in a dilemma between "development and construction" and "safety and flood prevention". The differences in concepts concealed the practical dilemma of grassroots governance.
Disaster struck suddenly, with a strange saddle-shaped field causing a typhoon to stay, and extreme rainfall causing reservoir surges, landslides, loss of communication with villages, and flooding of embankments. Everyone faced the test of life and death: grid worker Wang Fang tried hard to persuade the stubborn old man to move; farmer Lao Li's shrimp pond was destroyed by floods because of a lucky mentality; meteorological expert Su Qing withstood the pressure to correct the warning; firefighters made helpless choices in the flood; and veteran team leader Zhang Jianguo sacrificed his life to save others. At the critical moment, Lin Rui gave up his obsession, took responsibility decisively, and made special arrangements to blow up the dam and release the flood, thereby protecting the lives of the people in the town with partial losses.
After the disaster review, everyone exposed the hidden dangers of man-made disasters caused by cutting corners in the reservoir project, and thoroughly investigated and investigated the shortcomings in management to make up for it. After experiencing multiple hardships such as compensation disputes, psychological trauma, and resettlement conflicts, everyone restarted a new life on the ruins: Lin Rui took root at the grassroots level to improve the flood prevention system, Xiao Chen continued the water conservancy mission and adhered to the mission, Lao Li transformed into a new farmer and worked together to get rich, Xiao Liu emerged from the trauma and inherited the spirit of firefighting, and all disaster-stricken people and grassroots workers healed each other and worked together in both directions.
Purpose: Natural disasters reveal man-made disasters, reflect on the shortcomings of grassroots governance, remember sacrifices, rebuild homes, and ordinary people share the hardships and endure hardships.
