Photo taken on Oct. 17, 2013 shows the sand-covered fields beside a water pool left by floodwater at Xinqiang Village of Bacha Township, Tongjiang City, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. Thick sands and some water pools were left in the Bacha Township by the floodwater earlier this year, and many farmers have turned to be fishermen to make a living. The Heilongjiang River has swelled since mid-August, with some sections of its middle and lower reaches seeing their worst floods in history. (Xinhua/Wang Jianwei) |
