Nowadays, the news media are no longer reliable. Fake news spread on the internet. Recently, a reporter in China’s largest online community Tianya.com made up a story about “a garbage picker”. The story intended to make the heroine famous. In the article, the girl was portrayed as “a garbage picker” who was said to be virtuous. It was reported that she finished her schooling through picking garbage to pay the tuition. After graduation, she couldn’t find a job and refused to be “ kept as a mistress to a rich man”. Instead, she lived on picking garbage. After the author of the report post the picture of the girl, Chinese citizens doubt the authenticity of the report. Judging from her dressing and makeup, do you believe she is “ a garbage picker”? Obviously, some reporters want to make the girl famous through work out the sympathy from the general public. Is she a ‘garbage picker”?

She is riding a bike on her way to collecting garbage.

She maybe a garbage collector, and she maybe not but perhaps we do not judge a book by its cover. I am not sure about China, but many people collect "garbage" in my areas, including aluminium cans, papers, etc. and sell to appointed recycling agents, and some of them are well-dressed. I have done this before, and it somewhat has helped me through my tertiary education.

GUEST8288 WANHU, don't be naive. The girl dyed her hair. Don't you know it costs a lot to dye the hair in China? Her clothes look shining. I guess her clothes are much expensive than mine.

She doesn’t appear to have the complexion of someone who works out side either.
The thumb on her left hand shows a well manicured nail as well.
It’s a posed shot.

She should change her clothes before the posed shot. She is a stylish clean 'garbage collector'.

'Any way, we are lucky to see a pretty girl.' "We"? Don't include me. For me, it's unlucky to see a so-called "good-looking girl" cheat on people. Birds of the same feather flocks together.
