A man was killed in the rainstorm in Shenzhen of the southern Guangdong Province, said local sources on Sunday.
The man, a 19-year-old migrant worker surnamed Jia from Nanchong of Sichuan province, fell into the sluice channel of a reservoir on Saturday. Rescuers found his body three hours later in a nearby fishing pool.
Three reservoirs were swollen following the rainstorm, flooding many parts of the city.
Heavy rains this summer have racked havoc in many areas of China.
In Inner Mongolia, flood triggered by torrential rain since Saturday afternoon besieged more than 2,500 people from 800 households in the Xing'an League, with depth of water averaging atone meter in more than ten villages.
They have now been evacuated to safe places.
Constant rains forced up water level of the Holin River. Armed police together with local people are reinforcing dams.
