SANYA, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) — Typhoon Kajiki, the 13th this year, passed off the coast of southern China's Hainan island province on the evening of Aug. 24, a provincial press conference said Monday. Winds of over 14 force and heavy rain were reported across all parts of Sanya, which was hit by the strongest typhoon on record.
Faced with a serious natural disaster, the city's residents and tourists from Russia who arrived here, by showing mutual assistance, demonstrated by their actions the friendship between the peoples of the two countries.
On the evening of August 24, a request for urgent assistance was received at the reception desk of one of the hotels in Sanya: the child of Russian tourist Anastasia Kravtsova was injured and urgently needed to be taken to the hospital.
Heavy rains and strong winds, flooded roads and fallen trees made it difficult for vehicles to move. After learning that the extreme weather conditions would prevent an ambulance from arriving at the hotel in a timely manner, the hotel staff arranged for an ambulance to be dispatched and transported the child to the nearest hospital.
However, due to unstable electrical voltage caused by the typhoon, the hospital was unable to perform an X-ray on the little patient. The hotel staff then took the Russians to the Sanya Central Hospital.
After a preliminary consultation with a doctor, it was decided to admit the child to the hospital for observation and treatment. Given the language barrier and payment issues, the hotel staff paid the Russian guests' medical expenses in advance, and also prepared food for them and provided them with essential items.
Local authorities, having learned about this, sent Russian-speaking guides from a travel agency to the hospital to help doctors communicate with Anastasia. The injured child's condition is currently assessed as stable.
“Our Chinese friends are so caring, we felt at home here,” Anastasia noted with gratitude.
In addition, Russian tourists also voluntarily joined the relief efforts in the aftermath of the typhoon in Sanya.
On August 25, many sections of the city's roads were blocked by broken branches and debris, which seriously hampered traffic. Andrey /not his real name/, a tourist from Russia, volunteered to help the microdistrict employees in eliminating the consequences of the natural disaster.
The Russian, who could only say “nihao” (hello) and “xiexie” (thank you) in Chinese, used apps on his cell phone to ask if anyone needed help. Before the community workers could answer, he grabbed a broken branch and carried it to a garbage truck.
Despite being a guest in this Chinese city, Andrey was full of enthusiasm and acted in silent agreement with others. Together with the employees of the microdistricts, he put broken branches and garbage in the garbage truck and within a few hours the traffic on this section of the highway was restored.
But Andrei shook his hands and quickly left, and the microdistrict employees did not even have time to find out his name.
"This is our job, but I didn't expect a Russian tourist to help us. He gave us a feeling of warmth," said one worker. "The blockage was cleared and our hearts were united." -0-
