Woman works nonstop to aid afflicted villagers
It was noontime on Sunday. Inside a temporary shelter for villagers whose houses had been leveled by floods eight days earlier, some villagers lined up for lunch - instant noodles, a bottle of water, a package of pickles and a sausage. Volunteers cleaned the dining table after each person finished eating to make way for others.
Outside, three pickup trucks loaded with necessities, including disinfectant, food and water were waiting to be unloaded. Some residents were sitting in the shade of trees, engaging in small talk. Everything was proceeding in an orderly way.
Chen Jianjun, 37, who is in charge of the government-held settlement, was finally able to sit down for lunch at nearly 1 pm - instant noodles. She got up three times as she was summoned to arrange incoming relief supplies.
