See the slogan on the wall of a Chinese rural school. A good slogan but empty talk, the kids are still provided poor education. Meanwhile, recently, it was reported that some officials from Zhejiang Province spent over RMB50000 (about USD 9000) on one shark fin meal and the bill went to taxpayers. Shame on those so-called officials!

Have you heard the news happened in Macheng, Hubei? The students there need to prepare their own desks before they go to school. The local government says they don't have money on it after this news is reported.

State and local governments will receive funds accordingly. We have IDs, birth certificates and in China they have Hukous. This will enable the authority to plan the number of students in their locality to prepare for the obligatory basic facilities. Wan

I say empty because what they do is not in accordance with what they say in the slogan. What happened in Macheng is a good example to elaborate my words.

I googled related news. Around 3000 students have to bring their own desks to study in school. Some desks were used by their parents. 20 years later, their kids still use their parents' desks.

In reactions, the local government said that they had no money to buy desks. Really? They have money to build their official buildings like "White House" but they don't have money to buy new desks for the children.

Thanks to the media, the local government finally squeezed some money to buy new desks. So far, many of the 3000 students already have new desks.

Instead of spending millions on international sports, the money should be channelled for these young students by providing them basic infrastructure. I agree with you Lonely. Wan
