In Gyirong Port, small items speak of the human cost of the China-Nepal disaster

The article describes the aftermath of a catastrophic mudslide and flood that struck the Gyirong Port area between China and Nepal, resulting in significant loss of life and destruction. Deputy Chief Gui Xinwei of the Gyirong Border Inspection Station, who was on leave at the time of the disaster, returned to the site to continue searching for his missing colleagues. The disaster, triggered by a glacier collapse in Nepal, caused a massive mudflow that traveled 22 kilometers in seven minutes, destroying the entire port area. Despite the devastation, Gui found remnants of the port building that had previously withstood natural disasters, though it was now completely gone. He described the scene as surreal, likening it to a 'parallel universe or a nightmare,' but was reminded of his decades-long work at the location by a pine tree on the mountain ridge.
