Beijingers Urged to Queue on Monthly “Queuing Day” – Xinhua

From Xinhua, via Crienglish:

The girl carefully pasted the card with her signature on an exhibiting board. On the card, the four-year-old Liang Miaozhu vowed to queue in the public and respect order.

Liang, accompanied by her mom, is among hundreds of Beijing citizens who participated on Sunday in activities in Beijing’s busy Wangfujing Street to promote the city’s first “queuing day”.

The 11th day of every month is chosen as the promotion day for queuing up as part of a drive to improve the city’s image before next year’s Olympics, according to Zhang Huiguang, director of Beijing’s Capital Ethic Development Office earlier this month.

The number 11 resembles two queuing persons, according to Zhang. “That means that even if there are only two people, they should wait in line,” she said.
