Police at Guangzhou Railway Station launched a bilingual consulting post Thursday. The guard on watch could speak both Chinese and English, as well as sign language, which will make life more convenient for English speaking expats and those who are unable to speak or hear.

It is the first time for the police to offer such a service to the public, according to Mr. Huang, director of the Railway Police Station.
