Yesterday afternoon, five women with four children were photographed misbehaving in Fuzhou National Forest Park as they enjoyed the season's peach blossom bloom.
The women were snapped shaking down the trees and making the sakura pedals fall in order to create a "peach blossom rain" effect for their photos of each other. The children soon followed their bad example thereafter and started jumping on the saplings, snapping the branches under their weight.
Passersby are said to have questioned the women and asked them to stop, but they just argued that "the petals will have to fall eventually anyway" and wouldn't let up.
Online, criticism has been loud and unequivocal. Top posts on the topic simply fulminated, "Such poor quality (of person)!" and "What a loss of face."
"This is just the quality of some Chinese people," mused one popular commentator, "you can't blame foreigners for speaking poorly of Chinese when there are so many people like this destroying our image."
Taking the words the women used to justify their actions, another top comment was even more unforgiving: "We should send her to go see the King of Hell right away then - after all, everyone has to die eventually anyway."
