After a clip of the woman’s shouting exercise trended online, the man who filmed it started a daily social media video diary documenting her routine. Many commenters found the woman’s antics amusing, but some locals felt otherwise and decided to approach her to ask her to be quiet. — SCMP

A woman in eastern China who rises almost every morning for a 6am bike ride around her community while shouting loudly to try and boost her lung capacity has been dubbed the “human alarm clock” by neighbours.

Since October last year, the woman has been a regular fixture on her neighbourhood streets in Anhui province. As she passes on her bike, she shouts towards nearby residential housing blocks with one arm stretched out towards the units.
