Sacked for piggyback ride
Print Edition
AN east China official has been sacked after a picture of him being given a piggyback across a flooded path during a search for missing children went viral online.
The image showed a man surnamed Wang, a vice director of a government office in Guixi, Jiangxi Province, being carried on another man’s back through ankle-deep water in Lantian Village.
The caption said the man doing the carrying was a low level clerk surnamed Ding.
The incident took place on Saturday during a search for village children who had fallen into a swollen river.
The inappropriate act had a negative social impact and tarnished the image of party officials, local authorities said.
