IT Home Founder Donates 500,000 Yuan to Aid Flood Relief in Guangxi

Zhang Xue, the founder of the IT Home tech website, has donated 500,000 yuan (approximately $70,000 USD) to support flood relief efforts in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The donation includes essential supplies and vehicles.

According to a statement shared by Zhang, the aid package, which comprises trucks carrying supplies and four off-road motorcycles with riders, was scheduled to depart on the afternoon of the donation announcement. The aim is to assist in areas where flooded conditions have damaged infrastructure.

Recent heavy rainfall and storms have caused widespread flooding, landslides, and dam breaches in various parts of China, including Guangxi, Hubei, and Gansu provinces. These events have led to significant loss of life and considerable economic damage.

Official reports from Nanning indicate that the breach of the Liulan Reservoir has resulted in at least 26 confirmed deaths and seven individuals still missing. Across the entire Guangxi region, a total of 39 deaths and nine disappearances have been attributed to the recent weather disasters.

Authorities are working to identify the deceased and continue search and rescue operations for those reported missing.
