A video making the rounds on Chinese websites shows a young student being picked up from the University in Shandong province in a little red helicopter. The chopper lands in a field, she hops on, and flies away. I, for one, consider that a pretty bad ass way to get too and from school, ostentation be damned.


UPDATE – According to M.I.C.

“That happened on Saturday afternoon, that student called his father to come and pick her up after she finished an exam, so her father came with a red helicopter and landed on the campus field,” said by a campus staff. Allegedly, her father is working in the field of agricultural service industry.
