It is a pity and a shame that the drainage system in capital of China does not work well.

I feel shame again... What does this imply? The ancient people are much smarter than us. We can build high skyscrapers but can not build good drainage system.

Last night, the streets, subway stations, restaurants were almost empty. As you said, locals got home very early.
