If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel surprised. They are flash mobbers (快闪族). Who are they? Are they mobs(犯罪团伙)? Don’t feel afraid hearing their name. In fact, like a mob, they are a large group of people, but they have a good purpose. They usually get together in a place, do some simple actions, and then quickly disappear.
