Mao Thai, good yeah, just got stuck after being poor… My story became a ghost story

“What are the standards for the poor?”

A photo posted by the local government in China is heating up social media.

On the 3rd, Qingdao’s Chengyang District posted photos and articles of public officials visiting poor households on Weibo’s official account. It is in the midst of the volunteer activities of each organization seeking marginalized neighbors ahead of the recent Spring Festival.

It is said that four people, including local party executives and the secretariat leadership, delivered consolation items such as rice, oil, dried fruits, and meat to local residents who had difficulty in making a living as a result of the Lunar New Year. It is said that this visit was targeted to 231 households receiving basic living and 34 households of the poorest.

The reason that the local government’s’Midam’ was changed to’Ghost Story’ was due to the high-quality alcohol reflected in the photos. In the photo above, two bottles of Maotai and one bottle of Wu Liangye were placed on the showcase. Maotai, one of China’s finest sake, sells for about 2,000 yuan (340,000 won) per bottle. Wurangye is also one of China’s top three wines, and it is an expensive liquor that costs over 200,000 won.

After seeing this, Chinese netizens said, “Where is that house looking poor?” “You drink Mao Thai in a poor house? Then the criticism poured out that my life was not as good as a bum.

As the controversy grew, a local media reported on this afternoon. Dongbang Geumbo (東方今報) said, “When I asked the ward office,’What is the standard of the poor?’ I answered.”

As the controversy grew over the flimsy explanation, the next day, the ward office released the official explanation data again through the official account. Mr. Doo, a poor resident, is 81 years old, and his daughter retired after suffering from a stroke for nine years, his son-in-law died in 2010, and his son was unemployed, making it difficult for his family. The ward office said, “It corresponds to the standards of the poor.”

About the reason Mao Thai was at home, he said, “Doo attended a banquet several years ago and picked up the empty bottle left by someone else drinking.” do. It was not that the two seeds or their family drank.”

However, there were fewer reactions online, saying that even such an explanation could not be trusted. One netizen mocked, saying, “There is no poverty, and the’creation difficulty’ goes up.” Comments such as “I’m ashamed” and “I see netizens as stupid” followed.

Currently, all promotional texts and photos posted by the ward office have been deleted.
