| Shoe-Shining: A Show of Shenzhen's Civil Servants Posted: 23 May 2012 09:05 PM PDT | Follow us on TWITTER: twitter.com Like us on FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com Shenzhen's civil servants took to the streets to polish shoes for citizens without charge. The official relevant departments echoed that the civil servant volunteers were "experiencing the hardships of labor," while the Chinese public saw the activities as the officials' show attempting to gain political achievements. It was a trick by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) by utilizing civil servants to fool the populace, criticism says. 500 civil servants, wearing blue vested uniforms, from 25 state organs subordinate to the CCP Shenzhen Municipal Committee, launched community service activities on the High Street on May 15. The activities covered 20+ services from haircutting, wine identification, home appliance repair and free photography. Another service offered was shoe-shining. Consumers waited there before the shoe-shining stall opened. Within two hours, the first batch of 12+ tubes of shoe polish was used up. Shenzhen resident Li Jincheng commented that such community service activities are all made for show. Li Jincheng: "This is their (the CCP's) new way to fool the populace using job authority to control civil servants in an effort to to showcase how well they have learned from Lei Feng (a fake model-citizen concocted by politicians.) Look, civil servants can now even do such humble jobs, polishing shoes for civilians on the streets. But they all were putting on a deceptive show."
