A team of Chinese flood fighters carry sandbags as they take part in an exercise to fight against potential floods on the bank of a local river near Shijiazhuang, the capital of north China's Hebei province July 11, 2004. Many regions in China were hit by frequent strong rainstorms these days, which made it dangerous for villages along the rivers or lakes to encounter floods in this summer.
