Huahua: This Sunday? I suggest you pick another day.
Qingqing: Why? Is there something special happening?

Qingqing: Wow, it’s bound to be lively. You’re right; I should avoid going that day.
Huahua: I really admire people who can run marathons. This time, the full marathon is over 40km, and even the half marathon is more than 20. I can barely manage one kilometer.

Huahua: Let’s cheer them on together, then.

Street lights are often taken for granted until a power outage plunges the world into darkness. When that happens, the value of these lighting installations becomes evident as the world turns into a more dangerous place for pedestrians and motorists alike. The Chinese could claim to be the first to have constructed a crude type of street light.
