Kung fu fan tries to stop train
A Chinese boy tries to stop a train by using kung fu movement.
As I am an adult now, I calmly feel the news is very funny and it is quite dangerous to try to stop a train.
However, any man must have had some kind of adventurous ideas or emotions when we were young. I was also a would-be hero of cartoon program as others were.
So, I do not want to judge what the boy did was completely bad, but it was a little bit too adventurous…

A 17-year-old boy surnamed Liang almost died when he tried to use a kung fu movement to stop a running train in Laibin Railway Station in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Tuesday, Nanguo Jinbao reported.
Liang was pushed to safety by a railway policeman just as he was about to be knocked down. Liang jumped down to the tracks and wanted to use Xianglongshibazhang, a famous kung fu posturing described in many swordsman fictions, to stop the running train.
He was taken into custody for breaking railway rules and said he wanted to test whether or not he could use kung fu to stop the train. Liang is a great fan of swordsman fiction and has also learnt martial arts.
