Modern Express News (Reporter Li Nan) Typhoon "Bebinca" raged, with a night of torrential winds and rains, bringing challenges to many places in Nanjing, including the Sipailou Campus of Southeast University. In the video posted by netizens, it was seen that several tung trees on the central avenue of the Sipailou campus of Southeast University fell to the ground. On September 18, a reporter from Modern Express came to the campus and saw that the fallen tung trees on both sides of Central Avenue had been straightened.
It is reported that before the typhoon arrived in Nanjing, the General Affairs Office of Southeast University launched a special emergency plan, and various departments formed a working group to conduct 24-hour on-the-job inspections to ensure the safety of teachers and students.
In addition to ensuring the safety of teachers and students, there are also a lot of ancient and famous trees on the Sipailou campus of Southeast University, especially the Liuchao pine, which is more than 1,500 years old. Before the typhoon landed, Professor Xiong Deping, an expert in the protection of ancient trees at the National Botanical Garden, and his party of four people came to the Sipailou Campus of Southeast University to guide the protection of the Six Dynasties and re-fix and tighten the fixed metal wires bound by the Six Dynasties.
On September 16, "Bebinca" raged across the border, and a total of 9 tung trees in the Sipailou campus were lodging, and the rest were of several species. On the second day, the school properly cut off the fallen tung tree and straightened it.
