Recently, widespread rainfall has struck various parts of Shanxi Province, with some areas experiencing severe flooding. The flood-control situation is grave, prompting the successive activation of an upgraded Level III emergency response for geological disasters and a provincial-level Level III emergency response for natural disaster relief.

Damage situation at factories and mines

The various plants and mines of Pengfei Group have also been affected to varying degrees, with factory premises inundated, equipment damaged by water, and transportation severely disrupted. To swiftly restore production and daily life and alleviate the burden on government rescue efforts, Pengfei Group has mobilized all resources to carry out flood‑control emergency response and self‑rescue operations.

During this recent flooding, the methanol plant—located adjacent to the Wenyu River—suffered severe waterlogging, wall collapses, and damage to production equipment, resulting in a complete shutdown and direct economic losses approaching 65 million yuan. Throughout the crisis, the Group mobilized more than 800 personnel to participate in flood‑control and emergency rescue efforts, deploying submersible pumps, loaders, and large quantities of sandbags and waterproof tarpaulins to implement waterproofing and reinforcement measures at critical facilities such as the substation and the underground LNG circulation pump station.

Group leadership attaches great importance to this matter, emphasizing that the safety of employees’ lives and property must always be the top priority. They are ensuring that all flood‑prevention and disaster‑relief measures are meticulously implemented, guided by a spirit of self‑reliance and proactive action, while adhering to the principle of minimizing any burden on the government. Rapid arrangements have been made, with factories and mines serving as the operational units, to adopt robust measures aimed at “withstanding major floods and safeguarding production,” and to launch all‑out efforts in flood control, emergency rescue, and self‑help operations.

In addition, the Pengfei Group Women’s Federation recently responded proactively to the call of the Xiaoyi City Women’s Federation, raising funds on its own and donating 300,000 yuan through the Xiaoyi City Charity Federation, thereby extending a great outpouring of compassion. Although our own region has also suffered severe damage, as long as the government issues a call and the people have need, Pengfei Group—born and raised here—will wholeheartedly support and cooperate with flood‑control and disaster‑relief efforts, as well as with the reconstruction of our hometowns, striving to do good and make a positive contribution in return to our roots.

As the municipal Party committee and government implement a series of disaster relief and mitigation measures in the affected areas, Pengfei Group has stepped up as a leading private enterprise, taking proactive self-help actions and making charitable donations. Through concrete efforts, it has shouldered its social responsibilities, alleviated the burden on government rescue operations, and spared no effort to overcome the flood disaster and restore production at an early date.

The people come first; life comes first! All members of the Pengfei family are rallying together with unwavering resolve—until the floodwaters recede, we will fight to the very end.
