"When I left my home, I saw two cars being washed into the river. Some people were shouting for help from the water. I am still scared now," she said.
Su Yumin, 64, said he was cooking while taking care of his two grandchildren when he saw a huge rock tumble down.
"I took the kids out of the house. Now the whole family is safe, but 2 tonnes of rice we were drying outside has been lost," he said.
Ye Qinxiang said, "We have ten mu (0.6 hectares) of crops, but all our eggplant, bitter gourd and pumpkin were damaged."
Many houses in the village were swept away and destroyed, and more than 1,400 residents have been relocated to safer areas.
