One woman turned up the heat to cool down on the Shenzhen metro
Posted: 07/21/2012 2:35 pmOne woman’s s-trip on the Shenzhen metro gave passengers something to talk about.
A video on Youku shows a lady animatedly arguing with metro staff on the station concourse about her choice of clothing, revealing her bra, deemed inappropriate in a public place.
According to Beijing Cream, the incident is said to have taken place on Tuesday, in the midst of the scorching summer heat.
Her fight goes further as she makes her way onto the train, but metro staff bring reinforcements. By this time, her facial and bodily gestures become more expressive. Later, she is then seen walking down the carriage, standing firm on her appearance.
Here is the transcript from Beijing Cream:
Warden: “If you feel it’s hot, we can turn up the air conditioner.”
Woman: “I won’t talk about it with you. I’m wearing clothes now.”
Break.
Woman: “I’m hot now. I’m already 39 degrees (Celsius). You still want me to wear clothes? Look at my sweat! You don’t have sweat.”
Warden: “If you feel like our air conditioner isn’t high enough, we can lower the temperature.”
Woman: “Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on!”
Break. Then they get on the subway train, and we don’t hear what is said. Which is too bad. The discussion was really going somewhere, I think.
This echoes a similar incident last month on the Shanghai Metro, as a woman was snapped by officials dressing provocatively, sparking outrage as they asked women to not dress in a sexy manner.
