Teenager loses out as tree fights back

A high school student from Jiangxi Province, with a habit for punching trees got in a pickle on Sunday after he became impaled on a nail that was stuck in one of his victims.

Zeng liked to punch trees for fun, but on this occasion, the tree hit back as the long nail punctured his arm and held him fast. He was rescued by police who had to cut open the trunk of the tree to free him. A 7cm-long nail was later removed from his arm at a local hospital.

Cabby determined to get man home

Qi Degui, a taxi driver from Lanzhou, capital of Gansu Province, spent four hours on Sunday trying to help an old man find his home.

Qi began his search when a couple got into his cab and said they had lost their father. The three searched the city but had no luck.

When the couple got out of the car, Qi decided to try again and eventually found the old man. However, he still didn't know his address neither did the man. So again he drove around until the man recognized his home.
