Yang PingParty-secretary Yang Ping of Zhuzhou (47) had an idea earlier this year: he wanted to go online to get in touch with his online constituency and listen to their complaints about his government. The China Youth Daily - here translated by the Fool's Mountain - tells his story. First he was kicked out by the hosting service, who thought he was a netizens trying to impersonate the party-secretary:
In the Zhuzhou discussion board on Hunan’s Rednet (红网连接), the first post written by “Yang Ping” appeared (posted on May 14th). It was titled: “Eight major problems with Zhuzhou city leadership’s work style” (原文连接). Unexpectedly, the post was quickly deleted. The administrator said: “You’re impersonating secretary Yang Ping!” It was reposted again, and the administrator yelled out: “Oh how dare you! Trying to impersonate and defraud.”Yang Ping first faced a lot of angry citizens, but was able to have a decent conversation in the long run, being online most of the days around midnight.
The secretary had no choice but to search out the Zhuzhou board’s administrator, and he was shocked: you really are Yang Ping. They immediately opened up a “back door”, and gave the newbie the rights to post pictures. Quickly, a work picture of Yang Ping wearing a tie was uploaded.
Ever since he’s started going online with his real identify, he feels like he’s been pulling out his internal organs and showing them to the world. Online, he can’t have a bad temper, he can’t curse. He has to be the perfect gentleman.Classmate Yang, he is called by his netizens and apart from the serious side of government, like fighting corruption, Ying Ping has discovered the fun-side too:
He has an online pet, a QQ baby. “So far, my baby has been growing for 789 hours, and started university. She’s started to express interest in dating. She likes sweet dumplings (tangyuan), and uses Chashuang toothpaste. Once she’s full, she likes to sit on the swing.” While saying this, he feeds her another “dumpling”.More at the Fool's Mountain.
