In May 2013(between may 20 and 27; i could not find the original post but Xiaogan prison went into operation on 20 and the people's daily article is from 27), chinese netizens uploaded a photo of the newly opened Xiaogan prison(孝感监狱; of the Hubei provincial prison administration bureau) in the city of Xiaogan, Hubei province; The LED sign on top read "Xiaogan prison welcomes you"(even funnier is, 您 is the variant of "you" meant to show respect)

this went viral on chinese social media with people making fun of it with comments like "Please don't welcome me, i'm never going there";

Officials from Xiaogan prison responded that since the prison was only recently put in use, the LED sign was in a state of testing("welcomes you" is likely the default IMO), and that this text would not appear later on.

According to the text on the gravestone, this specific grave is for K9 Aini(埃妮) which was born december 2015 and passed in December 2025; 妮 is typically a more feminine name so it is likely a female dog

FYI Qingming festival is a chinese holiday where people clean the graves of ancestors and friends, or in the military/police/fire department, fallen comrades.

The officer is an Auxiliary sergeant 3rd class according to rank insignia; Auxiliary officers in most of china(most, not all; HK auxiliary police along with mainland police in some cities) are funnily not allowed to carry firearms unlike sworn officers. However auxiliary officers in places where APs cannot carry firearms, inparticularly ones in SWAT are still allowed to carry pepper spray, tasers, tear gas, extandable batons man catchers, riot shields and can use police drones. (the reason why the SWAT team has APs is for stuff like riot control and disaster relief which SWAT also handles; they can also assist in arresting suspects with melee weapons)

FYI this team is actuall officialy called the "patrol and SWAT team"(巡特警大队), which is how they are often called in Jiangsu province, which Huai'an is part of; this is since the SWAT team is also responsible for armed patrols and districtwide(or citywide) response to 110 calls.

This is seperate to officers from local police stations(派出所), which are also responsible for more neighbourhood/subdistrict wide patrols; they are also allowed to carry firearms(typically only a revolver or pistol; the station also may have 1-2 submachine guns for emergency use) but many don't actively bring them on patrol and their overall role is typically to mediate neighbourhood disputes and prevent petty crime.

(however even in serious incidents they still will act as first responders)

Honestly should just seize the boats and arrest them or better yet give them the iran treatment.

This specific unit is the woman's team assigned to the high speed rail between between Hong Kong and Fujian; it was given the nickname the "jasmine flower" team in September 2024

Essentially train marshals are the train equivalent of railway marshals, i've seen them a couple of times on the high speed rail in china.

Train marshal in front has extandable baton(right), pepper spray(left) and what i think is a pistol holster(correct me if i'm wrong though) but no pistol

could be she chose to put it somewhere secure in the train instead, idk but train marshals are typically armed in china

especially because back in the 1990s train hijackings would still happen, though nowadays mostly they deal with sexual harrassment, petty theft and disorderly passengers.
