Photos of two cars blocking a road have gone viral in Jianyang, southwest China's Sichuan province on Oct. 22, 2015. To people's surprise, the cars were not parked there by their owners; they were pushed there by some local square dancers.

A woman said that she has danced on the sidewalk near the local hospital for more than 10 years. In recent years, some cars often park in the place where they dance. "As we couldn't find the drivers, we pushed the cars away from the sidewalk, but we never damage any car," she said.

Liang, leader of the local community, said: "It is a sidewalk. People can't park or dance there." The cars pushed away by the square dancers often blocked the way and caused traffic jams. "The way is also the life channel to the nearby hospital. The traffic jam can be fatal," said Liang. She added that she often received complaints from the local residents about the noise made by the square dancers. This year, the community has talked with the square dancers for more than 20 times, however they aren't convinced to stop dancing there.
