I, who possesses THE switch...

My friend Christian is now officially in control of the street light system in 蚌埠Bengbu in 安徽 Anhui province.

He says:

First I wondered why all the lights outside went off when I went to bed. Now I know better. When I push the button, the city is asleep...

Thanks!

I don't agree that there are Chinglish... They are wrong English!

Chinglish is sth. like "The bridegroom and the bride...", since in China we always mention the bridegroom before the bride.
