In China, January 10 is a special day. It is a day to promote (宣传) the number 110. The date of January 10 (1.10) spells out the number itself.

What should you do if you see a fight in the street? Call 110. 110 is China’s emergency (应急的) telephone number. Its emergency service is mostly about police.

People began to use 110 in 1986. So far, it has helped people a lot. During 2011, 110 emergency centers answered over 135 million phone calls. The police have solved 1.22 million criminal cases (犯罪案件) through 110.

Calling 110 is free. People can call the number by fixed telephones or mobile phones. When you call 110, the most important thing is to keep calm. You need to tell the operator your name, place and phone number. If you are too nervous to say anything, just do as what the operator says. Sometimes the phone is busy when you call. Don’t hang up, and you should hold on until the operator answers it.
