Policeman wins praise for easing traffic gridlock (1/2)

Policeman Pan Zhijun lifts a cable for vehicles to pass by on a street in Wuhu, East China’s Anhui province, Jan 27, 2015. The falling cable led to traffic snarls before Pan lifted the cable with one hand and directed the traffic with another one for two and a half hours in light rain. The traffic went back to normal after the cable was repaired later. The pictures of Pan became a hit on the Internet. [Photo/CFP]
