Two statues of Chinese ancient poets Su Shi(1037-1101) and Huang Tingjian(1045-1105) in Yibin City of southwest China's Sichuan Province went viral last month as they were captured being submerged making it look as if they were “reciting poems” in floodwater. However, on Saturday the flood hit the city again, sending the two statues toppling. /VCG Photo

The statues were set in the Riverside Park where a local resident jogged by the river and found the two unseen on Sunday morning. /VCG Photo

The crane worker lifted the two four-meter-high statues from the water after receiving the report, which attracts many onlookers. /VCG Photo

The local authorities said the statues would be repaired and reinforced after the rainy season. /VCG Photo
