Farmers choose to live or die with their homes

Flood victims who refused to quit their houses hamper relief efforts. Duan Yan reports from Jiangxi.

He Yin, 14, and her 6-year-old brother He Yu had been trapped in their flooded home in Changkai town for more than 24 hours when their uncle finally arrived to rescue them.

After driving for 400 km from the city of Ganzhou, Zhu Lianfa had guided one of the speedboats being used to evacuate residents straight to the children's doorstep - yet they were still reluctant to leave.
