In Fumin county in China’s Yunnan province were blamed when workers spray-painted a barren mountainside green. Laoshu mountain was left an eyesore by heavy quarrying. The forestry department had tried growing pine trees on it but it yielded poor results. In August last year, seven works were hired for 20 days to paint it green. Photographs showed the rock covered in an artificial green looming over houses. Who was responsible? The workers as saying they had orders from the county government to do the job estimated to cost 400,000 Yuan. Villagers griped that if the money was spent on seedlings that could have restored a bigger area of the mountain. The over-zealous officials were heading the government calls for environment protection.
Later it was found that the “greening” was the handiwork of the renovation contractor
who claimed that his house faces the mountain so he paid for the painting for good fengshui. He said that he had tried to get approval from the forestry authority but got no reply and assumed they consented.

In Jilin province in China, officials went all out to save the river did not anticipate that their residents would be so enterprising. Their efforts to restock the polluted river with fish ran into problems when over 1000 residents start hauling them out as soon as they were put in. Officials had put 13 truckloads of live carp worth 70,000 yean into the Songhua River to improve its ecology. But “shortly after the live release” the 1,000 over residents swarmed to the riverbank with nets and other fishing equipment to scoop up the easy catch.

In Hangzhou, China the doctors were spooked.
A Chinese journalist decided to test how greedy the doctors in the hospital were by submitting tea as his urine sample for medical analysis. The results from six hospitals determined that he had an infection. Five of them prescribed drugs costing 1,300 Yuan. Four of the hospitals were state-owned. The headlines in the local Chinese newspapers printed “Patients have become automatic teller machines for the hospital”. The hospital criticized the journalist for violating the journalist’s code of ethics. The hospitals are not responsible for wrong urine test results because the testing equipment cannot tell urine from tea.
