The road was almost closed to traffic after being repaired at the bridge not far from school. Only cyclists and motor-cyclists could pass the narrow path at the roadside there. Yesterday on my way home I saw a few people had begun the work. There had been a step across the road at the southern end of the bridge. All the vehicles had to slow down when passing the spot. Now they had to make a detour. The road was blocked from two different directions. An old man stood guard over the scene. Mr. Wang said the repair is futile and soon it will be damaged by the passing heavy trucks.
