These days they can only deceive the primary school students. Have the middle school students go and none of them will go.

Vehicles for public servants’ use cannot exceed 180,000! So that [rule] was fake?? A Toyota Highlander is at least 500,000-600,000!!
腾讯天津市网友 武松打赌:
A vicious cycle. When these children grow up and they become the leader of some department, they too will do this, because it is this kind of thinking that was instilled into them from when they were small. At that time, the people welcoming them will be the children and grandchildren of the current leaders!
腾讯滁州市网友 龙之吻:
So much official power; It would be best if this kind of leader doesn’t come often, otherwise the children will want to suspend class everyday;
From another perspective, the quality of this county’s officials, and how they normally behave and do things, we can all imagine.
腾讯淄博市网友 巫师:
This is all normal, no need to make a fuss, government leaders just love doing this kind of stuff, what can anyone do?!!!
腾讯厦门市网友 飞燕:
A government leader comes and this much is done. Look at government leaders in other countries, do they have this kind of welcome? Making official visits is a government official’s responsibility, otherwise are we supporting them to just eat and not do any actual work?

MLGBD, I was in the band when I was in elementary school and during class, the school principal and teachers would even have us go play for others’ retail grand openings.

Too disgusting! Extremely disgusting!
凤凰网四川省宜宾市网友：yibinboy:
In China, the power of the government leadership is too big, there simply aren’t any constraints.
凤凰网海南省网友：hao0000:
So this is the people’s civil servants? Students lining up streets to receive [guests] instead of attending class. So this is serving the people? What a helpless society!
凤凰网吉林省长春市网友：e119110120:
Whoever is a public servant is whoever is master?
凤凰网上海市宝山区网友：youli7155:
Resolutely demand this be investigated, who is trying to kiss ass? And who is having his ass kissed? Too disgusting, so this is what public servants are like?
凤凰网浙江省杭州市网友：三角平衡:
The whole country is the same, not just Gutian.
凤凰网浙江省温州市网友：chen3536:
China’s national circumstances have decided that this is necessary, that if you want a future, you have to learn from when you’re small how to kiss ass.
凤凰网安徽省网友：孤独遐:
To some extent it satisfies the government leaders’ vanity.

This is the kind of education we receive, worshiping power from when we are small. When I think of how I also did this kind of thing when I was in primary school I really feel disgusted!
谁是贼 [网易北京市网友]：
They didn’t kneel in welcome?! Such indecency…
文明的野蛮 [网易江苏省苏州市网友]：
So this is education? To have children learn how to prostrate themselves before power?
仙芙 [网易四川省成都市网友]：
This is how patriotic youth and lackeys are trained.
谁是贼 [网易北京市网友]： (responding to above)

kngtam0 [网易广西梧州市网友]：
Even a lowly fart of a government leader has such power and prestige!!!
谁是贼 [网易北京市网友]：
Keywords: Buddhism seminar, provincial government leaders, primary school students, line the streets in welcome…
I’m still in a state of bewilderment…
canadaart [网易加拿大网友]：
China’s schools teach children from when they are small that being a government official is a good profession, and have the students receive an education in servility.
No matter what, children realize from when they are small that those who are officials have a lot of special privileges.
