China: Nujiang River Rages in Yunnan, Torrents Sweep Through Area

This is the dangerous moment that the Nujiang River turned into a raging torrent, triggering a powerful flash flood after days of relentless rainfall. On May 31, 2025, in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, the video showed the Nujiang River surging with muddy, turbulent water. Fueled by continuous heavy rain and intensified by orographic lift, the river’s water level rose sharply, unleashing a devastating mountain flood. Water tore through the region with alarming force, visibly inundating the riverbanks and sweeping away debris in its path. According to preliminary data, rainfall across the Nujiang River basin exceeded historical averages by more than four times. Along the Dulong River in particular, rainfall over a three-day span surpassed 300 millimeters, with some areas experiencing over 100 millimeters of downpour in just a short period. The severe flooding damaged roads, farmland, and communication infrastructure, effectively cutting off transportation to several villages. The video ended with torrents of floodwater continuing to rush downstream, leaving behind a landscape of destruction.

Artist Claude Viallat Exhibition - Nimes

Nimes, France, October 31, 2023. The French artist and master of Support-Surfaces art Claude Viallat exhibit at the Carré d'Art , museum of art contemporary of Nimes.Internationally recognized contemporary artist, at 83 years old, the tireless Claude Viallat lives and works in his hometown, more precisely in his studio located on rue Clérisseau, very close to Vauban University and a few steps from the contemporary art museum. A founding member of Supports/Surfaces, a historic movement in French abstraction, the artist plays with his own pictorial rules by infinitely combining his signature form at the crossroads of the sponge, the bean or the knucklebone. An unleashing of internal constituent elements, placing ever greater emphasis on the relationships of density, intensity and brilliance between the colored surfaces. His work, which he tirelessly develops, is both immediately recognizable and constantly in motion.Photo by Patrick Aventurier/ABACAPRESS.COM
