GM impressed its audience by debuting the Buick Invicta concept on hovering on water prior to the Beijing Auto Show, but that seems easy in comparison to some people’s water crossings in the Middle Kingdom.
Liu Suozhu, a 48-year-old Chinese man, recently drove across Miluo River on tightropes in China’s Hunan Province. The tightropes were 148 feet above the river and it took him about half an hour to finish the 755 foot-long bridge. Liu did pause several times at the centre of the ropes, as he needed to check if his Xiali sedan was still balanced or not.
The brave man used to work as a cab driver. He came up with the idea of driving on tightropes in 2001. In 2006, he finished a similar stunt, completing a trip of 656 feet on tightropes 66 feet above the ground at Kurle, Xinjiang Province.

This is a clear rip off of the stunts of stunt people. Those cables look exactly like the ones used in Western/Japanese stunts. The Chinese have no originality, no respect for the intellectual properties of others, and they’ll steal all the stunts from us and sell them for cheap to Wal-Mart.
Yeah, but he got the job done and did it for less. And if he had failed, he’d just be up a creek without a paddle.
Note the smoke. That’s not “stunt smoke” that’s blow by from a typical Chinese cab. The damn thing might also be diesel.
thats nuthin, if my grandaddy saw that he’d tell the story of back in forty five when they used race mining carts down the cables of the Golden Gate Bridge. How they got the mine carts up theres a whole nuther story.
The Chinese have no originality?
So that explains why they invented paper, gun powder, the first compass……
AI clearly missed the joke. . .
