So it is that I have received wind of a man riding his motorbike last Tuesday in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, China. he and his bike were in an accident with a car at an intersection. What's not clear is what caused the accident. Might the man have been riding his bike while playing with his phone? I ask this apparently absurd question only because photographs first published on Weibo show the man lying in the street, clutching his phone and seemingly playing a video game. The Chinese People's Daily reports that he had injuries. It's unclear how serious these might have been, given that he was [http://www.becomegorgeous.com/topics/conscious conscious] enough to play on his phone. More Technically Incorrect that police declared he had subsequently been discharged from hospital. Perhaps he'd even had the chance to charge his phone there. The Mail also said that skeptics on social media suggested that the man stayed prostrate so that he could extract compensation from the driver. However, if that was the case, surely he might have acted a touch more, well, hurt, than the playing on his phone indicated.

In China Airlines Plug apos;all You Can Fly apos; Deals To Pierce...

BEIJING, July 28 (Reuters) - China Southern Airlines on Tuesday rolled out an 'all you can fly' pass, becoming the latest in a fleet of cash-strapped carriers to join a promotional craze that analysts say has helped revive a coronavirus-ravaged air travel market. At least eight of China's dozens of airlines have introduced similar deals since June, often priced around $500 for in some cases unlimited flights. Industry watchers say the packages have been a shot in the arm, with costs offset by otherwise empty seats being filled in a country where daily flights last month recovered to 80% of pre-coronavirus levels. The global aviation industry is keenly eyeing China as a pilot for air travel recovery trends, as the country reopened its economy months earlier than other places after managing to bring the pandemic mostly under control - at least for now. But Luya You, transportation analyst at BOCOM International, said these promotional packages - ranging from unrestricted flights to an array of terms and conditions - can only stimulate demand when coronavirus risks are already sufficiently reduced. "While these packages may work in domestic markets, we do not expect similar rollouts for outbound routes anytime soon," she said. The "Fly Happily" deal launched by China Southern, the country's biggest carrier by passengers, allows buyers to use passes for as many flights as they wish for destinations across the country from Aug. 26 to Jan. 6 for 3,699 yuan ($529.03). As with other deals, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] passholders also pay a small tax to the airline - about 50 yuan - per flight. Meanwhile China Eastern Airlines' 3,322 yuan "Fly as you wish" deal, launched in June, only applies to weekend travel. Hainan Airlines' 2,699 yuan package is only valid on flights to or from [http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/_search?q=Hainan%20province Hainan province]. China Eastern has sold over 100,000 passes, state media reported. That helped boost passenger loads on its domestic routes to over 75% on recent weekends, according to aviation data provider Variflight. "I'm going to Changsha this weekend and Guangzhou the next weekend," said Elaine Shen, a Shanghai-based insurance professional just back from an eight-day trip in the country's northwest using the China Eastern pass. "The experiences are great," Shen said. "I would not be flying this much if it weren't for this pass." It's not just Chinese airlines that have jumped on the deals bandwagon to revive the travel industry. The Marriott Group said it was aiming for a fresh promotional campaign in August 2020 in the wake of a successful April deal giving buyers the chance to eat a month's worth of buffet breakfasts in any of its 146 China hotels for 588 yuan. ($1 = 6.9920 Chinese yuan) (Reporting by Stella Qiu, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] [http://www.reddit.com/r/howto/search?q=Sophie%20Yu Sophie Yu] and Brenda Goh; Editing by Kenneth Maxwell)
