I don't want to see the sea in Nanjing.

Midnight Quick Comment

Yesterday, after heavy rain, not only can you see the sea in Nanjing, but you can also go to Purple Mountain to see the waterfall, and go to Xuanwu Lake Tunnel to see the "lake above, sea below" scenic view... The creativity of nature always surpasses the imagination of humans, seemingly unwilling to let people always see the monotonous scenery outlined by steel and concrete.

Cars slowly move in the waist-deep water, and the underground basement of the residential area turns into a swamp... While a rain brings "beautiful scenery," it also brings traffic congestion and property damage. Only then do we understand that seeing the sea in Nanjing is just a helpless joke.

"It's so fun, the cars are floating..." The children happily shout, children's words can be carefree, but what about the city's managers? It is said that Nanjing invested billions in rainwater diversion projects last year. After a heavy rain test, the results remain to be seen.

Not only Nanjing, but the rain this summer has exposed the true nature of the drainage systems in cities such as Beijing and Changsha. It is said that the drainage systems in these cities were all built according to low standards for once-in-three-years heavy rain. City construction, a road, a building costing hundreds of millions or even more, how can they be so stingy when it comes to the "excretion pipe" of the city? Is it the result-oriented view of "heavy above ground, light underground" at play?

This rain will pass, and the next rain will come. Providing a smooth drainage system for the city requires funding and technology, but more importantly, it requires a city governance view that seeks the well-being of the people. I hope that after heavy rain next year, we will no longer see the sea in Nanjing. Su Wenlong
