People are the same all over the World. I've seen this many times in the US. People trying to drive in flooded streets. This is foolish. You car's engine will be drowned out and you will be stuck.

An urban management official, or chengguan, has one of the least rewarding jobs in China. The municipal employees are tasked with enforcing city rules such as bans on hawking or begging.

Frequent incidents of "excessive" and arbitrary violence against often poverty-stricken street vendors and migrant workers have given chengguanan image as heartless, corrupt enforcers.

In a move to strengthen mutual understanding, a chengguanand a hawker in Luoyang city of Henan province swapped roles for a day on June 8, Henan-based Dahe Daily reported.
