[Photo/Weibo] SHANGHAI -- A woman has been placed under investigation in Shanghai for flipping coins into an aircraft engine to pray for safety. The suspect, an 80-year-old passenger surnamed Qiu, tossed coins to the engine while boarding flight CM380 operated by China Southern Airlines on Tuesday. The plane was scheduled to fly from Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong province, at 12:40 pm, but was delayed for more than five hours due to the incident. Passengers on the plane alarmed police when they spotted Qiu flipping the coins. Police later found 9 coins at the site, including one in the engine. According to airport police, Qiu has been cleared of mental illness and has no criminal record. The airline company conducted a thorough investigation of the plane, before it took off at 6:16 pm. Neighbors of the suspect said that Qiu believes in Buddhism. custom rubber bandspink wristbands bulk24 hour wristbands coupon codeballer bandstrio spinnersjordan wristband rubbercustom rubber band braceletsrubber wristbandsmotivational bracelets for athletes
Fan Lili stands on a stool showing that her hair exceeds her height, Zhengzhou, Henan province, on July 30, 2017. [Photo/VCG] A woman in Zhengzhou, Central China's Henan province tends to draw crowds when she goes out in public due to her 1.93-meter-long hair. Fan Lili, 49 years old, living in Zhengzhou, said that she stopped cutting her hair 25 years ago. My mother said my hair has good quality and she would like me to keep it, and other family members also agreed, Fan said. The long hair has brought joy to her life. When she goes in public, many people admire her hair and chat with her. Some men even pursue her, though her husband is not so happy about that. Maintaining her long hair also creates problems, such as washing. Fan said that she has to take a shower for about one and a half hours in order to wash her hair, using about 200 millimeters of shampoo every time. She can't use common chemical shampoos, only natural. Drying is another thing. Fan does not use a hair drier but leaves her hair to dry naturally. The catch is it takes about two days to dry. When going out in the day, Fan has to put up her hair, and releases it at night to put by the bedside to sleep. An 80-year-old man surnamed Feng said that it was the first time he's met a person with such long hair in Zhengzhou, and another old man even questioned that her hair was fake. I will keep the hair to see if will grow as long as twice my height, Fan said.
