중국은 언제나 기이하고 재미있으며 믿기 어려운 바이럴 뉴스를 쏟아낸다. 오늘 SCMP는 자꾸만 재판매되는 '귀신 나오는' 아파트부터 단 한 층에만 정차하는 엘리베이터, 그리고 회전초밥 컨베이어벨트를 점령한 '미키' 쥐까지 최근의 기묘한 순간들을 소개한다. 유령이 나오는 주택 4월 1일, 중국 남서부 쓰촨성 청두의 한 아파트에서 의문의 죽음이 있었던 곳이 3번째로 경매에 부쳐졌으며, 입찰은 4월부터 시작될 예정이다...
From an unsold ‘ghostly’ flat, to a residential lift with just 1 stop and sushi restaurant with rotating rodent, bizarre stories abound in China

China never fails to deliver strange, funny and almost unbelievable viral stories.

Today, the SCMP offers a glimpse into some recent quirky moments, from a “haunted” flat that keeps getting resold, to a lift that stops at only one floor and a sushi conveyor belt hijacked by a “Mickey” mouse.

On April 1, a flat in Chengdu, Sichuan province in southwestern China, where there had been an unnatural death, was listed for auction for the third time, with bidding set to begin on April 14.

The listing has once again attracted widespread attention because the property had already been auctioned twice, in November, last year and January, at a higher starting price of 266,000 yuan (US$40,000).

The final bids reached 1.056 million yuan (US$155,000) and 966,000 yuan, respectively, but both auctions failed.
