सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In recent years, China has implemented high-tech facial recognition at intersections to discourage '闯红灯'. In some cities, your face might even appear on a large screen if you cross illegally! This has turned a simple traffic violation into a significant social credit and 'face' issue.
The 'Face' Factor
In some Chinese cities, if you '闯红灯' as a pedestrian, your name and ID might be displayed on public screens. It's a very effective way to use social pressure!
Grammar Check
Remember that '闯' is the verb and '红灯' is the object. You can put '了' or '过' in the middle: '闯了红灯'.
