During the storm, a tricycle parked outside the house of the filmer's grandfather appears abruptly in the video frame, driven by the wind and rain to slink down the slope and complete a comical escape by itself.

(231226) -- JINGDEZHEN, Dec. 26, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Luo Xiaocong splashes blue pigment on a clay base at his studio in Jingdezhen, east China's Jiangxi Province, Dec. 14, 2023. Luo Xiaocong, a 59-year-old professor at Jingdezhen Ceramic University, has been dedicated to modern porcelain painting for years.
