Global Times note: In recent days, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, among other areas in northern China, have been hit by heavy rain. More than 130,000 people have been affected in the hardest-hit city of Zhuozhou in Hebei province, with 146 villages and communities impacted, covering an area of 225.38 square kilometers. A total of 57 relocation sites have been established.

Global Times reporters visited some of the affected communities and villages in Fangshan district, Beijing, and Zhuozhou city in Hebei and talked with witnesses to the once-in-a-century torrential rain to learn about the resilience and selflessness of Chinese people amid the disaster.

China National Philatelic and Cathay View Culture recently signed an agreement on strategic cooperation in Beijing to seek creative ways to present and market the cultural values of postage stamps.
