      Liaoning escalates emergency response as typhoon Gaemi moves northward

      As Typhoon Gaemi moves further inland and northward, accompanied by heavy rains, China's State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters has escalated emergency responses in flood-prone provinces including Liaoning in the northeast.

      The typhoon, the third of the year, made its second landfall in Putian City of east China's Fujian Province Thursday evening.

      In Shenyang city, the provincial capital, persistent heavy rains have caused waterlogging on several roads, disrupting traffic in parts of the city. Local authorities have swiftly initiated drainage efforts to restore normal traffic flow.

      As of Friday afternoon, traffic conditions in Shenyang had significantly improved, though some sections still experienced waterlogging. To expedite drainage efforts, authorities have deployed 25 rubber dams at lower heights and activated 61 pump stations across the city.

      In Panjin city, 102 pump stations are currently operational, and personnel have been deployed to patrol and monitor the five underpasses in the city.

      "We have implemented comprehensive patrols and intensified monitoring at key locations, including low-lying road junctions, road sections and bridges," said Wang Bingren, deputy leader of the traffic police division of Panjin Public Security Bureau.

      Other departments in the province have also activated flood-response efforts. Maritime authorities have issued meteorological warnings and intensified patrols at ports, construction sites near water bodies, and water parks to alert crews about wind prevention measures.

      ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠As of 20:38 on Saturday, China's total box office revenue for the ongoing Qingming Festival holiday had surpassed 300 million yuan (about 41.28 million U.S. dollars), according to data from online platforms.

      The three-day Qingming Festival, which started on Friday this year, is a traditional Chinese holiday that falls on the 15th day after the Spring Equinox. While it is a time to enjoy the greenery of springtime and to visit the graves of ancestors, the holiday has also become a busy period for cultural and tourism activities in China, including visits to the cinema. 

      The U.S. produced film "A Minecraft Movie", Chinese animated blockbuster "Ne Zha 2" and crime thriller "We Girls" are currently ranked as the top three.   Data showed that "A Minecraft Movie", adapted from the beloved sandbox game, has currently topped the chart and been a hit with family audiences. Notably, over 15 percent of its viewers have attended screenings in groups.   Meanwhile, "We Girls", a drama centering on marginalized communities has made a significant impact since its premiere on Friday, breaking the single-day box office record for its genre during the Qingming Festival period over the past five years.   Despite the wave of new releases, "Ne Zha 2", a holdover, has once again witnessed a surge in viewership and secure the third spot in the rankings during the Qingming Festival holiday box-office period, buoyed by enduring fan loyalty.
