Zhu Xinqian, a 47-year-old farmer from the Shaanxi village of Banchang, lost
his wife and son in a landslide.
"I went to my farmland on the mountain that night to
drive away wild boars that might destroy my crops," Zhu said.
"The landslide hit my house just at the same time as I arrived back home."
Summer flooding is common throughout 皇冠体育app, but its
damage is compounded by deforestation as rains trigger rock slides and mud flows
off bare mountainsides.
