英國(guó)4歲女孩放氣球飄到廣州
[ 2007-09-28 10:51 ]
人們常常放飛氫氣球傳達(dá)美好愿望,但氣球脆弱無比,經(jīng)不起擠壓、針刺,飛到高空還會(huì)爆炸,很難飄遠(yuǎn)。英國(guó)曼徹斯特市一位4歲的小女孩6周前放飛的一只氫氣球居然隨風(fēng)飄到了近1萬公里外的中國(guó),被一位廣州小伙子撿到。

When four-year old Alice Maines released her balloon at her school fete on a rainy day in Manchester, UK, never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that it would end up being found by Xie Yufei in a park in Guangzhou, a sprawling metropolis 75 miles north of Hong Kong.

The balloon, that cost just one pound, was one of 100 that were launched in a balloon race at Alice's Flixton Junior School's annual summer fair.

Each one of the balloons carried a numbered ticket promising the finder a prize: a visit to Chester Zoo.

In the weeks that followed, balloons were posted back to the school, mostly from suburbs a few miles west of Manchester, although a couple made it to Liverpool.

Alice's balloon, gave everyone quite a start when a letter with a Chinese postmark and stamp arrived on September 5 at the headmaster's office.

According to the Daily Mail, the letter read: "I picked up this balloon when my friends and I were playing on August 25. I am in China, so I think it has traveled the furthest. Left is my picture. I am happy to pick it up."

Xie, who designs air conditioning units, revealed just how he had come across the balloon.

"We were playing basketball in a park. I saw it by the edge of the court. It was shrunk, and there was an address attached."

Shrunk though it was, the balloon had not burst - something that had meteorologists surprised.

The school is now sending Xie a parcel of letters and drawings from the pupils.
