A 13-year-old Beijing boy stole a city bus when its driver stopped for a bathroom break, going on a wild joyride that left a trail of smashed cars and other damage, state media said last Monday.
The incident began when a bus driver returned from the bathroom in eastern Beijing to find his bus gone, Xinhua news agency said.
The vehicle had been driven off by the 13-year-old, who drove through traffic, crashing into two cars on the road and about 10 parked vehicles, and knocked down two electricity poles, it said.

No one was injured in the incident.
“It was like watching a movie when I saw the bus crashing into cars like a bulldozer,” Xinhua quoted a man surnamed Liu as saying.
“I threw my canteen and ran for my life.”
Passers-by eventually kicked the bus door open and seized the boy.
“He was thin...and trembling, but did not say a word,” said a man surnamed Chen, who helped stop the bus.(AFP)
中國官方媒體上週一報導,北京市一名十三歲男孩趁一名市公車駕駛停車上廁所時偷走公車,然後開著公車狂飆,造成連環車禍及其他損害。
新華社報導,這起事件發生在北京市東區,一名公車司機從廁所出來後就發現他的公車不見了。
報導指出,這輛公車被一名十三歲的男孩開走,他開著公車穿梭於車陣間,撞上兩輛行進中的車和約十輛停靠在路旁的車,還撞倒兩根電線杆。
所幸這起事件中無人受傷。
新華社引述一名劉姓男子的話:「我看到那輛公車像一台推土機一樣撞上其他車輛,就像是在看電影一樣。」
「我拋下水壺逃命。」
最後路人踢開公車門捉住這個男孩。
一位幫忙攔下這輛公車的陳先生說:「他很瘦弱…還在發抖,但他一句話也沒說。」

A: Artificial intelligence technology has been causing controversy lately: a student was caught cheating with AI to win the grand prize in an art contest. B: That’s so absurd. Does this mean that AI paints better than humans? A: Maybe. Luckily, the student was later disqualified. B: And more absurdly, it’s becoming more and more popular to use AI technology to “resurrect” people. A: Yeah, some netizens even posted videos featuring the late singer CoCo Lee, who was “resurrected” by them with AI software. A: 人工智慧的爭議不斷,有學生違規使用AI參加美術展,甚至贏得首獎。 B: 真誇張,這是不是代表AI比人類還強大? A: 或許吧,幸好得獎資格被取消。 B: 還有更誇張的︰讓死者重現的「AI復活」技術越來越熱門。 A: 對啊,還有網友製作已故歌后李玟「復活」的影片呢! (By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/台北時報張聖恩)

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl.
