China's record-breaking heat wave

China is suffering under a heat wave that is bringing crippling high temperatures throughout the country and in Shanghai, the world's largest city. Unrefrigerated eggs have incubated themselves on the counter, people are frying shrimp on manhole covers, and record numbers are flocking to water parks in an attempt to find some relief. "It is just hot! Like in a food steamer!" one person exclaimed in an interview.
