Why Did Tens of Thousands of Chinese Students Go on Night Bike Rides?
Making the impromptu five-hour ride between two Chinese cities became a craze among young people. But as their numbers swelled, the authorities shut it down.
Rochester's poetic work varies widely in form, genre, and content. He was part of a "mob of gentlemen who wrote with ease",[30] who continued to produce their poetry in manuscripts, rather than in publication. As a consequence, some of Rochester's work deals with topical concerns, such as satires of courtly affairs in libels, to parodies of the styles of his contemporaries, such as Sir Carr Scroope. He is also notable for his impromptus,[31] one of which is a teasing epigram on King Charles II:
- We have a pretty witty king,
- Whose word no man relies on,
- He never said a foolish thing,
- And never did a wise one"[32]
To which Charles supposedly replied, "That's true, for my words are my own, but my actions are those of my ministers".[33]
