Shanghai schoolboy Ye Wang reacted with dismay on Tuesday morning after spotting a terrifying yellow-white shining object in the sky from his bedroom window. Ye's father Lao Wang and grandfather Zhende Lao Wang spent several hours discussing the bizarre phenomenon, before deciding it must be the Sun. Ye's grandfather remembered this legendary object which used to be seen in the sky during his childhood, long before Shanghai was covered in a layer of year-round smog.



Q. Does the sun ever come out in Shanghai?
A. I don't know, I'm only 7 years old.
