Trapped in an elevator in HarbinPosted by Banyue, December 4, 2007 4:54 PM
Today's Heilongjiang Morning Post announces that Harbin will charge taxi passengers an extra 1 yuan per ride starting from January 1, 2008, to compensate for the rising price of fuel. The front page photo shows fire-fighters saving eighteen people from a overloaded elevator at Harbin's Xinhe Hotel. The eighteen were trapped in the elevator for almost an hour before the rescuers arrived. Other headlines: • Eight top terms in economics, 2007 edition: the list includes CPI, energy saving and emission cutting, affordable housing, and interest rate hikes; • Guangdong police smashed a criminal gang in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province last month. Police arrested 45 key members and seized 8 pistols and 14 bullets; • Li Junqu, assistant to the Governor of Hebei Province, was removed on December 2 for vote buying. During the recent elections for government offices and the provincial party standing committee, Li sent gifts to influence the vote; • The winner of a 100 million-yuan prize visited the Gansu Lottery Center to receive his prize. The winner, who has not been publicly identified, donated one million yuan to various charitable causes.
