One Photo, Two Dismissed
||
One photo led two railway station officials, head and party secretary of Dongguan Railway Station, removed from office.
Zheng Lindong, a photographer with Dongguan Daily, took a picture of some passengers climbing into a passenger train through windows at the Dongguan Railway Station Jan. 25, 2010. For the safety of those passengers, some staff of the station gave their hands to them who were climbing, which was regarded as wrongdoing by authorities. The two officials, as the top leaders of the station, should answer for the wrongdoing, and were relieved of their posts after the photo had been posted on the internet.
The incident brought about a heated discussion on the internet. Tens of thousands of netizens complained that the punishment was unfair to the officials, and at the same time, rebuked the photographer seriously. Zheng claimed that he took the picture out of his professional habit, without thinking about the consequences.
I don't think anyone was wrong in the incident. If there is something wrong, it might be the lack of necessary resources while we got so large population.
