On July 23, a netizen in Zhenlong Township, Hengzhou, Guangxi posted a video claiming that the area continues to suffer from heavy rainfall, and the newly opened road has been washed away again.
According to leaks from an insider at the Three Gorges project, Hengzhou first burned the huge number of victims' bodies in the open air with fuel in order to cover up the deaths and destroy the evidence, but because progress was too slow it switched to using highly concentrated acid to disfigure the remains.
Volunteers in the Guangxi flood disaster area stated that the cafeteria was not allowed to deliver meals because it lacked a required certificate; netizens reported that multiple charity kitchens in Hengzhou were shut down by the supervision team for the same reason.
On July 11, 2026, a warm-hearted person from Ningxia drove 2,000 kilometers to deliver several thousand jin of supplies to disaster-stricken Hengzhou in Guangxi, but was refused by officials and forced to distribute them to victims on the spot; the related livestream was promptly banned by the platform.
