Recently, an extremely strange and unfortunate death occurred in Zhengzhou’s Gaoxin district. A one meter long model airplane suddenly fell from the sky and hit an old man, driving a tuk tuk, in the back. The man got off and immediately sat down in pain, and was taken to the hospital.
X rays showed afterwards that he had three broken ribs on the left side, his vertebrae had broken in two and the plane had struck his kidney leading to internal bleeding.
The next morning, around seven hours after he had been taken to hospital the old man died from excessive internal bleeding and extremely low blood pressure.
The police were unsure of how to handle the case seeing as they’d never seen the like before. An officer explained: ‘Last year a teenager won the second prize in the province-wide model airplane flying competition and it helped him get into university, so this year everyone’s trying the same thing to earn credit to get into university’
Police are currently unsure whether or not to classify the death as a traffic accident.

Police are currently unsure whether or not to classify the death as a traffic accident or plane crash. That shows their smartness.

These things wouldn't happen if China provided places for such activities. There is absolutely nothing to do here. You don't see kids outside kicking a ball or riding bikes because the government provides nothing that accommodates for these activities. Even with the parks that are here, you can't even walk on the grass. You are just not allowed to have fun in China.
