Apparently this occured within 1km from the people's home, so could indeed expect them to know the place.

One adult and a child. Who knows - could have been returning from hospital or whatever unavoidable business.

I heard two people drowned last night, after driving their scooter to a few meters deep water in middle of road.

Something akin the dip on Beijing Lu where it goes under the railway at old north railway station, which was also fully flooded in the morning.

One epic design flaw in some smaller alleys has been to plant trees right in middle of the sidewalks, which were thin to begin with and with trees inaccessible without some gymnastics - even without baby stroller or similar.

So the standard practise was to walk on the street, with pedestrians and cars (both moving and parked) dodging each other as best they can.

But now they have put the white fences also on some of these streets, separating the lanes for road traffic.

Thus cars going on one lane can no longer move to the neighbouring lane (even when available) to give room to pedestrians.

Timber!

@lemon lover: "A step down at the subway elevator makes perfect sense. If not the subway will be flooded when it rains"

Ah, good point. I remember the floods in the city few years ago!

In extreme poverty, people will even limit survival to that of their own person.

This has been reported, for example, from DPRK prison camps with family members turning on each other to survive.

In today's China you cannot make this comparison to DPRK, but China's history has left its marks in people's behavior today.

If I interpret Mike correctly, he is referring to general attitude of average Chinese person toward other human beings, nature, and generally everything other than himself and his immediate family.

For long time China was poor country, and it still reflects in many parts of the society. One is, that average Chinese will always put his own survival and benefit first.
