Landslides caused a section of the Guangzhou-to-Beijing rail to be blocked on Sunday, affecting more than 80,000 passengers, according to the Guangzhou Railway Corporation. Many of them, if the above video is any indication, were stranded at the station, where they spent the night.
Last month in Linzhou, Henan province, an off-duty police officer reportedly snatched a baby from the arms of a man, raised her above his head, and threw her to the ground -- all because he had made a bet with his drunken friends that the child was a doll.
A passenger on a bus headed from Huating to Putian in Fujian province last Wednesday held a gun to the driver's head and (reportedly) shouted, "This is a stick up!"
Moments after all the passengers have fled -- starting just before the three-minute mark in the above video -- a firefighter calmly enters the bus by his lonesome, seizes the pistol, and neutralizes the bandit. People then swarm in to complete the capture.
Raz-B, i.e. De'Mario Thorton -- formerly of the American R&B group B2K -- is currently in a coma after being smashed by a glass bottle during a show on Thursday.

I first heard of “Dao Lang” from an economics professor on the way to a fancy dinner at a four-star hotel on the northwest corner of the People’s Square in downtown Urumqi. We had been discussing taste in cars as we slowly careened across three lanes of traffic and walkers. The professor said she found the American Hummer to be the best car, and then turning, as though catalyzed by the brawn and force of a combination of army machine and Michigan muscle, she asked if I had ever heard of Dao Lang. She said he was the best Xinjiang singer.
