China's Village Super League resumes after floods
With the mud cleared and houses rebuilt after severe floods, the Village Super League, or Cun Chao, again welcomed passionate soccer players and audience in Rongjiang county, Guizhou province, over the weekend.
The brand-new green field, the cheers of the fans, the bustling vendors — everything seemed unchanged.
Rongjiang, the birthplace of Cun Chao, was hit by rain-triggered floods on June 24 and 28. Who could have imagined that just a month after this disaster, which submerged two-thirds of the main urban areas and destroyed almost all infrastructures, and affected tens of thousands of people, the event would regain its former glory in such a short time?
The Cun Chao resumed on Saturday under the theme "Gratitude, Rise Up, Guizhou's Super Power", inviting all rescue teams and donors who participated in the flood relief efforts.
