Have you ever heard “flash mob”? On July 12th, 2009, at 5pm, a lot of fans gathered at People’s Square in Shanghai to “complete Michael Jackson’s unfinished dance” in one minute. For 60 seconds, they sang and moonwalked to remember Michael Jackson. This is kind of phenomenon(现象)is called “flash mob”. “Flash mob” is a group of people who gather in a public place to perform a strange activity for a short time. Sometimes, all these people are friends, but usually they are strangers who find each other on the internet. It is interesting how “flash mob” activities are planned. Without technology—the internet and mobile phones, it would be impossible to organize so many people in such a short time. “Flash mob” is very surprising and strange.
