Paralympic Coach Refuses to Hand Over Award Money to Superiors

From NetEase & iFeng:

Paralympics gold medal coach who refuses to hand over million RMB award suspended

Two of Coach Wang Chengrong’s athletes won 3 gold medals and 1 silver at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics. In 2011, the China Disabled Persons’ Foundation rewarded Wang Chengrong with 1,499,100 yuan. After learning of this, Wang Chengrong’s work unit [employer], Qinghai Sports Number 1 Team, repeatedly asked that he pass the award money up to the organization, but Wang would not. After that, the organization suspended him from work, and the sports team leader Yang Haining says they have other methods if he continues to refuse to hand over the money.

It was his own work… [the work unit] is using its power to cheat him, a bunch of shit.

More like leader of the Qinghai Robbery Team.

Madam利_Lisa：

Ridiculous! It’s his award money, why should he have to share it!

独爱孔雀蓝：

In any impoverished area, anyone would covet this much money, much less a leader with power. If he doesn’t split him some, he will be upset and even angry with humiliation.

carol-hwk：

A scoundrel’s logic, a robber’s trick!

leecl06_90i：

I don’t know if the leader is a psycho or if a psycho is the leader!

嘟桃屋喵：

Really looking forward to the organization’s other methods~ Team leader, waiting for what you’ll say next! The people are waiting to see~

This is distribution system with Chinese characteristics, where the hardship may be one person’s, but the credit must be everyone’s.

Hand it over and it’s gone. What the country gives you is yours. At worst, just quit. There are a lot of coaches outside of the country, all of them there because they were unable to continue developing [their careers] domestically, but are developing very well abroad.

The team leader is also a disabled person, right? If he wants money, then he should himself go compete and win! If he’s not a disabled person, then first disable yourself and then go compete…

黑屋Mihee：

This is indeed how it is… The country of course expects to get a share of the money for the athletes it trains, because the country has also contributed. Regardless of whether it contributed enough, you not thinking of them is unacceptable. It’s just like you winning the championship and not thanking the country.

A typical leadership style befitting the current state of the country.
