“Wind rages like it’s trying to uproot mountains, and rain pours down like a river bursting its banks”—though today Jian’s wind wasn’t as fierce as the one poet Lu You encountered, the rain in Jian certainly felt like an overflowing river. Especially by evening, the downpour grew heavier and heavier, leading to severe flooding on several roads across the city center and forcing the closure of multiple thoroughfares.
"‘The wind rages like it’s trying to uproot mountains, and the rain pours down as if a river has burst its banks’—though today Jian’s wind isn’t quite as fierce as the one poet Lu You encountered, the rain in Jian this afternoon has certainly felt like an overflowing river. Especially by evening, the rainfall grew heavier and heavier, leading to severe flooding on several roads across the city center and forcing the closure of multiple thoroughfares."
As the workday neared its end, the section of Junhua Road near the school gate was already flooded, with water levels reaching waist-high. Teachers watched anxiously as the rain poured down, eager to head home.
Chairman Cheng Yi, stationed far away in the United States, remains deeply concerned about our faculty and students. He regularly monitors the school’s situation through online channels. Upon learning about the severe flooding in Ji’an city, which had left teachers struggling to get home, he immediately instructed the School’s General Administration Department to arrange campus buses—mobilizing every resource possible—to ensure teachers could safely return to their homes. He specifically emphasized that no staff member should be left behind, underscoring his commitment to everyone’s safety.
When teachers heard the news about the school’s thoughtful gesture—providing buses to ferry them home—they couldn’t contain their excitement, eagerly sharing the good news with one another. In fact, everyone took to the school’s WeChat group to shower the administration with praise, enthusiastically applauding the chairman for “keeping the safety of our faculty and students close to his heart, even from across the Pacific Ocean!”
After urgent coordination and arrangements by the General Department and the school’s fleet team, the drivers stepped up with their spirit of overcoming challenges and working together in unity. At 5:30 p.m., they were promptly positioned at the school gate, ready to escort teachers home after their shifts—and ensured they’d carry out the mission flawlessly!
18:40 The first bus of the school shuttle convoy departed on time, carrying 20 faculty and staff members. Ms. Wang Dongmei, a junior high school teacher who boarded the inaugural ride, shared in her social media circle: "When I learned the school would arrange buses to take us home, I instantly felt so warm and grateful!"
19:40 After the evening study session ended in the elementary school, the teachers boarded the second batch of four school buses headed to Jizhou and Qingyuan districts! Elementary school teacher Xiao Fangxiu sat on the bus, watching the fierce wind and heavy rain—and a broken-down car—whizzing past outside. Turning to her fellow teachers, she remarked with a smile, "These school buses are so tall; they really make me feel safe!"
9:40 PM Night had deepened as the last bus—carrying a dozen or so junior and high school teachers finishing their evening study sessions—departed right on schedule! The high school teachers couldn’t help but exclaim: "No matter how high the school’s elevation or how heavy the rain, we feel completely safe knowing the school bus is here to escort us home. Even in the fiercest storm, our hearts are warmed by this thoughtful gesture—and most importantly, the school ensures we arrive home safely!"
11:00 PM Only after the last shuttle bus returned to campus did the staff from the General Administration Department and all the drivers finally feel at ease enough to head home. Today, everyone worked together seamlessly to fulfill the promise they made to the Chairman—to safely deliver every teacher back to their homes.
Our campus is situated atop Ruinhua Mountain, enjoying a higher elevation compared to other areas. Thanks to this advantageous location, the campus remained untouched by the recent heavy rainfall—clearly demonstrating the foresight behind our original site selection. Standing tall and gazing at the moon, we embrace the world while firmly supporting our vibrant future!
"Details define attitude!" Today, the school’s decision to arrange a school bus to safely escort teachers home is not only a quintessential example of the school’s heartfelt humanistic care but also a perfect embodiment of our student-centered service philosophy.
