At 2:30 in the afternoon, the azure sky was cloudless, and the scorching sun baked the earth; the river water was hot to the touch, and the soil in the fields smoked, the earth and all its entities roasted to an intense heat and shriveled up.
There was a strong wind by the river, but standing on the levee there was no feeling of coolness.
Secretary Ye, accompanied by Vice Mayor Shen, the Water Resources Bureau, Transportation Bureau, Development Zone Management Committee, Sanhe Street, and other relevant unit leaders, wearing a straw hat and braving the blazing sun, inspected the river levee.
The comprehensive renovation of the Jianghai flood control had already been confirmed; the matching funds and loans would soon be in place, and work could commence once the special funds from the provincial and municipal levels were allocated.
