Groups of pedestrians or riders getting together at crossings to run red lights are a common sight in Chinese cities, and the practice has been dubbed "the Chinese style of crossing the road".
How to regulate this behavior has been a headache for cities. Since March 1, Zhejiang province put to work a large police force to handle the problem.
Many pedestrians have become more law-abiding, but some are still showing dissatisfaction, even cursing or beating the policemen.
Analysts say the administration's intentions are good, but new questions arise: Are there enough police officers to enforce the rule on such a huge population of pedestrians, and whether pedestrians can change their habits on their own.
How real life is, how real love is!
