In the hills of Jiangxi province, where seasonal rains have long tested the relationship between human settlement and unstable earth, a mudslide has claimed one life and left eleven people unaccounted for. China's mountainous southeastern terrain carries a recurring vulnerability — when precipitation saturates the soil, the ground itself becomes a force of displacement. Rescue teams are now working against both time and terrain to find those still missing, a search that speaks to the enduring fragility of communities built in the shadow of steep slopes.
