After a record rainstorm ravaged central China's Henan Province, Li Wei, a 33-year-old shovel loader driver, volunteered his services for flood-relief work.

On July 20, residential areas near Baisha Town were flooded and roads were inundated by flood water. Li saw a stranded elder standing in the rain and sent him back home with his shovel loader. Thereafter, he joined a voluntary group in Baisha Town and helped ferry residents.

"Now I intend to take part in the flood-relief work in Xinxiang as the condition in Zhengzhou turns better," said Li Wei.
