High temperatures have been baking Shanghai since July.

Wu Sheng, a Shanghai policeman, is on patrol in a bullet-proof vest with his colleagues as the road surface temperature reaches nearly 60 degrees Celsius. There are over 40 people in the patrol team. When taking shift, Wu Sheng takes off his bullet-proof vest for a short rest, the back of which is already soaked with sweat.
