The incident occurred on Monday at the Wanda theme park in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. The “Coaster Through the Clouds” suddenly came to a halt while climbing the ride’s steep incline.

It took park employees 20 minutes just to get to the riders. Once there, each rider’s safety harness had to be manually removed. Only after every rider was free did they make their decent on a narrow staircase.

This past March, 26 riders were left hanging 30 meters upside down for 20 minutes after the “Crystal Heavenly Wing” roller coaster came to an abrupt halt at Happy Valley Amusement Park in Beijing.

Last year Labor Day, an accident claimed two fatalities when five people fell off the “Crazy Scream” ride at an amusement park in Zhejiang when their safety harnesses were not properly secured. Last fall, a mother and her son sustained serious injuries when they were flung into the air from a giant octopus ride in Wuhan. And in April 2015, 19 people were injured at a temple fair in Henan when an amusement ride broke in half.

Mr. Wang, who lives in Nanchang, Jiangxi, claims the driver of a black Audi pointed a handgun at him after a fight over a parking spot. According to Wang, the driver got out of his car and opened the trunk to retrieve a bag. Initially Wang believed the driver grabbed a camera, but quickly realized he picked up a handgun.

The Audi driver wasn’t shy about aiming the gun at Wang, nor was he shy at dispensing one-liners:

“Kneel for me, for today is the day you die.”

The Audi driver didn’t shoot, choosing instead to pistol-whip Wang, who suffered three large gashes. The driver then got back in his car and took-off.

Local police are investigating the incident, but so far have made no arrests. Wang claims a number of bystanders witnessed the assault but aren’t willing to talk.

This probably isn’t what Chairman Mao was referring to about “power coming from the barrel of a gun”, but all the same, it worked.

Once finished, a trip from Guangzhou to Guiyang will be shortened from 22 hours to four, while a trip from Guangzhou to Nanning will be shortened from 14 hours to three.

The line also means other speedier connections. Once the high-speed railway network is complete, a trip from Shenzhen to Guiyang will take just five hours, while a trip from Shenzhen to Nanning will take just four hours.
