On the night of May 9, 2011, musician Gao Xiaosong ran his car into three other cars in Beijing.

But it wasn’t just a car accident—he was drunk (喝醉的).

Now, Gao has to go to prison (監(jiān)獄) for six months and pay a 4,000 yuan fine.

Gao is the first star to be punished under China’s new drunk driving law.

From May 1 on, drunk drivers will pay a fine, and be banned from driving for five years or even forever.

Drunk driving has become a serious social problem in China.

According to the Ministry of Public Security (公安部), police caught more than half a million drunk drivers last year, a 68 % increase from 2009.

The new law sees drunk driving as a crime.

In the West, drunk driving is also a crime.

In the US, for example, if the police catch a drunk driver, the driver will pay a fine, lose his or her license (駕照) and even go to prison. If the driver wants to drive again, he or she must do public service, and take part in educational programs.

You may think: drunk driving is a crime? Isn’t this law too unkind? But experts say: not at all.

“It is to protect people’s rights to life and health,” Li Gang, lawyer in Chengdu, told China Daily. “Drunk driving is very dangerous. No matter what the results are, it should not be allowed.”

On the night of 23 July, 2011, a fast running train D301 from Beijing to Fuzhou suddenly hit another train which had already stopped there. The motor car accident happened in Wenzhou, China's eastern province of Zhejiang. It caused four carriages to fall off a bridge which is at least 30 metres high from the ground. 40 people have died in the accident. Among them were 2 foreigners: an Italian woman, Assunta Liguori, and a Chinese American, Cao Erxing. So far, most of the 39 bodies have been claimed by their relatives, based on ID cards, clothes and other characteristics, but the results of DNA tests are coming out in about one week or two. Another 210 people have been taken to hospitals in Wenzhou after the accident.
The accident study shows that it is the lightning strike that caused the big accident: the first train lost power because of a lightning strike and had to stop on the rail way. And after a few minutes it was soon hit from the back by another train following it. 
After the accident, questions have been raised over “what caused the accident” and “how to do with it”. During a visit to Wenzhou, where 39 people have been killed last weekend, Premier Wen calls for an transparent investigation into the cause of the accident, and he once again emphasized(強(qiáng)調(diào)) the importance of putting safety first in the country’s development.
