Three young schoolchildren sparked a panicked search when they slipped out of their kindergarten to flee wintry Germany and “fly to Africa,” authorities announced.
“The rogue youngsters aged five and six took advantage of an unobserved moment to break out of their class” in the southern city of Nuremberg, police said in a statement.
“Their teachers called the police immediately and took part in the search” which included federal officers, the fire brigade and a police helicopter.
About two hours later, they were found safe and sound and said they had aimed to catch a plane to Africa.
“On the way they wanted to make a ‘stopover’ at a toy store on Trier Street,” police said.
Last January, two childhood sweethearts, aged six and seven, tried to elope from northern Germany and tie the knot under the African sun.
The pair, who had taken along the five-year-old sister of the “bride” as a “witness”, were picked up by police and returned to their relieved parents.

德國有關單位證實,三名幼稚園學童偷溜,打算逃離冷颼颼的德國「飛奔到非洲」,讓大人驚慌展開搜索。
警方在一份聲明中表示,德國南部紐倫堡市「這三個五、六歲的調皮鬼趁沒人注意時,從課堂上逃跑。」
「他們的老師立刻打電話報警,並加入聯邦官員、消防隊及一架警用直昇機所組成的搜索行列。」
約莫兩個鐘頭後,這三名孩童被平安找回,並說他們原本打算搭飛機去非洲。
警方表示:「前往機場的途中,他們想先在特里爾街上的一間玩具店逗留。」
去年一月,德國北部一對兩小無猜的六歲和七歲孩童試圖私奔到非洲,並在非洲的豔陽下成婚。
這對小戀人還帶著「新娘」五歲大的妹妹當「見證人」,警方後來找到他們,並將他們送回如釋重負的父母身邊。

When people talk about fast delivery or logistics, most assume these are modern inventions. However, the need to convey messages and ship goods efficiently existed in ancient China. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the governments implemented official systems to deliver orders and military information across long distances. Later, this system, known as yizhan, reached its peak during the Tang period and remained crucial to Chinese society for centuries. The main function of a yizhan was to deploy documents and personnel quickly across vast regions. Messengers would stop at these stations to change horses or rest. Sometimes,

Soldiers lined the walls. Reporters looked up, pens suspended above their notebooks. The judges shifted. Cameras clicked once, then stopped. Outside, the sun blazed over the barracks yard. Inside, it was winter. The words rebellion and death penalty hung in the air like a storm cloud about to break. But this moment had not begun here. It began three months earlier, on a warm December evening. The traffic circle
