A local flood victim rides on his ox along a flooded street in Fuzhou, Jiangxi province, June 23, 2010. The Changkai Dyke in southern China's Jiangxi province suffered a fresh breach as the Fu River punched through the embankment again on Wednesday, after an earlier break in its wall on Monday forced nearly 100,000 residents to flee as heavy rains swelled rivers and dams across the region. -- PHOTO: REUTERS
