China sees both extreme heat and devastating floods, including in areas where flooding was unheard of.
China correspondentAnd the flooding this time around has struck areas where such weather has been unheard of, with scientists - blaming climate change - warning that the worst is yet to come.
"The fields where we planted our crops were all submerged. We can't plant again this year," says another farmer, Zhao Lijuan, as she smiles and tries to be philosophical about the impact on her community. However, in the face of potential catastrophes, Dr Zhao Li from Greenpeace warns that human beings are not ready for what is just around the corner.
These are tough choices but, in the end, it becomes a government decision over who must suffer for the greater good."It'll take me eight to 10 years to recover from these losses," says Mr Zhang, who has two small businesses there. "The government has not said whether it will compensate us. I run two shops but what I can I do?"
