Picture in the article is typical sensationalist bullshit, supposedly this kid is cooking his food off the manhole cover but its not melting the plastic bag he has sitting on the manhole cover. Plus a non stick pan would not get hot enough off a manhole cover to cook food. infact it would get hotter on the asphalt. Bottom line this kid probably wont stand down a tank in tijenamen square, his prospects are limited. 
Not denying your article just wish reporters didnt feel the need to give that one last piece of sensationalism to their story.

"The cold wave has left dozens of people dead and pushed thermometers below 104 degrees in at least 40 cities and counties.
"SHANGHAI (AP) - It's been so cold in China that folks are freezing shrimp on manhole covers, eggs are freezing without refrigeration and a highway billboard has mysteriously snapped by itself.
The cold wave -- the worst in at least 140 years in some parts -- has left dozens of people dead and pushed thermometers below 104 degrees F in at least 40 cities and counties, mostly in the south and east. Authorities for the first time have declared the cold a "level 2" weather emergency -- a label normally invoked for typhoons and flooding."
