Female cadres require brick joints to be free of dust, soil, and sand particles? Latest official response from Jinzhou, Liaoning
Recently, a video of a female cadre assigning hygiene work in Jinzhou, Liaoning has sparked controversy. In the video, the female cadre asked her subordinates to clean each brick joint without dust or sand, and even personally demonstrated how to do it. On September 4th, staff from the Urban Management Bureau of Guta District in Jinzhou claimed that the woman was a cadre of the Guta District government.
On the afternoon of September 5th, a reporter from Da Wan News contacted a staff member surnamed Wei from the government of Guta District. The other party said that after the online video continued to ferment, they had also organized a special team to deal with this matter, hoping to provide feedback on the real situation to society.
The staff member stated that the day was a public welfare activity organized by government officials in Guta District. "The government work committee organized weekend time to help clean the roads in some old residential areas in the district." The staff member told reporters that due to the outdated environmental facilities in the old residential areas, sanitation vehicles such as cleaning trucks and sprinkler trucks cannot enter and can only be manually cleaned. Therefore, the government work committee called on everyone to go to the old residential areas to clean the floors, and the video was taken in an old residential area in Tian'an Community, Bao'an Street, Guta District.
As for the statement made by the female comrade in the video that "there should be no dust or sand particles in each brick joint", the staff member also explained that the female comrade in the video is the responsible comrade of the government work committee. Because there are many elderly people in the old residential area, if there are some small stones on the ground, the elderly will step on them and cause safety hazards, which is the premise for the subsequent remarks of the female comrade.
In addition, because the workers on site were all colleagues from the government work committee, some of whom were also participating in outdoor sanitation work for the first time, "So some colleagues casually asked what kind of sweeping is considered qualified and up to standard. Our female colleague just blurted it out, not really following this standard, and there is no dust left on the ground."
The staff member stated that the starting point of going to the old residential area to clean up is to improve the living environment and enhance the quality of life of residents. "Everyone is particularly serious about trying their best to clean up, but I didn't expect the video to end and ferment into the present." The staff member surnamed Wei expressed that he hopes netizens can understand the causes and consequences of the situation and not misread it.
