Parking Garage Fire

According to a notice issued on April 14 by the Emergency Management Bureau of Pingshan District, Shenzhen, a fire broke out at 2:48 a.m. in a multi‑storey parking garage in Maluan Sub‑district, Pingshan District.

Municipal and district emergency and fire services immediately responded to the scene. The blaze has been put out, and no casualties have been reported. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD confirmed in a statement on Tuesday that a fire had occurred at a parking structure in a Shenzhen industrial park. The garage was used to park test and scrapped vehicles, the company added.

The fire has been extinguished, and no one was hurt, according to BYD.

Verified user‑generated video cited by Reuters showed large flames and thick black smoke billowing from the multi‑storey building, with fire trucks and police officers deployed at the scene.

Experts noted that electric vehicle fires behave differently from those involving internal combustion engine cars. EV fires often burn longer, are more difficult to put out completely, and carry a higher risk of re‑ignition.

BYD’s global headquarters is located in Pingshan District, Shenzhen.

Chinese Man’s 20-Year Stomach Pain ： Thermometer Removed After 2 Decades

A 32-year-old Wenzhou man had a thermometer in his duodenum for ~20 years after swallowing it at age 12. Doctors removed it via emergency surgery to prevent perforation & bleeding.

Childhood Accident

Intestinal Health Risk

A 32-year-old man in eastern China was shocked to learn that a thermometer he accidentally swallowed as a child had remained inside his body for around two decades.

The man, from Wenzhou in Zhejiang province, went to hospital after developing stomach pain. During medical examinations, doctors found a thermometer lodged in his duodenum, which is part of the small intestine. After the discovery, he recalled swallowing it when he was about 12 years old, but said he had been too frightened to tell his parents at the time. Because he did not feel obvious discomfort back then, the incident was never properly addressed.

Doctors warned that the object had become dangerous because its tip was pressing against the intestinal wall. That created a risk of perforation and internal bleeding if it remained in place. Surgeons then carried out an emergency procedure to remove it. Reports said the operation took about 20 minutes, and the thermometer was removed intact, although the measurement markings had faded over time.

Medical staff said cases involving swallowed foreign objects should always be treated seriously, even if symptoms do not appear immediately. They advised people not to eat or drink after such an incident and to seek urgent medical attention as soon as possible. One report added that large numbers of foreign-object swallowing cases are treated every year in China, with children accounting for a major share.

The case drew attention online because of how long the object had remained hidden inside the man’s body without being discovered. It also served as a reminder that childhood accidents can sometimes lead to unexpected health risks years later.

Late Passenger Sentenced to 1.5 Years After Making Fake Bomb Threat at Airport

We have all felt that sinking feeling of arriving at the airport a few minutes too late, only to find the check-in counter already closed. Well, while most people simply accept the delay and book the next available flight, a man surnamed Wang decided to handle his frustration in a way that eventually landed him behind bars.

The story, which was highlighted by the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on April 8 as a typical case of punishing the fabrication of false terrorist information, began at Qingdao Liuting International Airport.

Wang had arrived late and was told he could no longer check in for his flight. Instead of looking for a solution, he decided to vent his anger by threatening the staff. He told the check-in personnel that he would call the police to report a bomb on the plane—hoping that by preventing the flight from taking off, he might somehow force them to let him on board.

When his blackmail didn't work, Wang actually went through with it. He made a report claiming there were bombs both on the flight and within the airport terminal. As you can imagine, the authorities took the threat very seriously. The airline was forced to trigger emergency protocols, which included a full clearing of the aircraft cabin. The disruption didn't stop with his flight either, as the emergency measures caused a chain reaction that led to five different flights being delayed.

As it turns out, the legal system does not take kindly to using "bomb threats" as a customer service tactic. The court found that Wang’s actions constituted the crime of fabricating false terrorist information. For the sake of venting his personal spite and causing significant disruption to civil aviation safety, Wang was sentenced to one year and six months in prison.
