Rescuers help evacuate people from a flooded village in Zhangshu city, Jiangxi province, Saturday May 22, 2010. Rivers swelled up in flood-soaked South China as persistent rainstorms since early May threatened to spill over reservoirs and damage power facilities. More than 165,000 people have been evacuated in Hunan and Jiangxi, where schools have been suspended, affecting over 65,000 students, Xinhua reported Saturday. [Photo/Xinhua]
