"I'm unhappy about it," says a man who gives his name as Mr. Luo. "Chaohu was great. Why did they get rid of it?"

Luo is busy gambling on cards — which is illegal in China — just yards from the police station. Among his fellow gamblers, this bemusement is common, followed by resignation.

Rumors had circulated for a few weeks beforehand, but there had been no public consultation and no official notice, with residents not being told about the new boundaries in advance.

This division of Chaohu has led to some strange anomalies.

For example, in Lintou town, a bridge serves as the new boundary dividing Hefei from Ma'anshan. This means that, for some, the five-minute bicycle ride between home and work has become a trip from Hefei to Ma'anshan and vice versa. The residents of Lintou complain that the redistricting is illogical.

到巢湖吧。发发无所谓。这里安徽吧

7楼翻译：
比如说，在林头镇，一座桥成为了合肥市和马鞍山的新边界。这对部分人来说，就意味着他们平日从家里骑自行车去上班的5分钟车程而今变成了合肥与马鞍山之间的跨市之旅。林头镇的居民抱怨说这次区域重划并不合理。

热烈欢迎和县含山加入马鞍山。马鞍山大发展离不开你们。

其余段落就不发翻译后的了

"Ma'anshan is too far away," complains a man who gives his name as Mr. Zheng. "It's 50 miles away, compared to [Anhui's] provincial capital, Hefei, which is only about 30 miles away."

In the longer term, residents worry that being hitched to Ma'anshan will be bad for their village. Everyone is aware that Hefei is the major beneficiary of this move: Its area will increase by 40 percent, and it will become the biggest city in China in terms of area, according to the local media.

呵呵

大意就是：有部分含山居民认为此次巢湖区划调整是“不合理的”
