China’s century-old prestigious Wuhan University held its graduation ceremony on the morning of June 20th, but after the ceremony ended, the venue was left littered with trash, drawing attention from netizens.
According to a report from Shanghai's "The Paper," footage publicly released by netizen "Luojia Mountain Lili" shows the scene at Wuhan University’s venue, where the sports field was left scattered with large amounts of what appear to be plastic bags and disposable raincoats. In the comments section, a netizen said, "It’s a total mess, trash everywhere! What does this say? All graduates should have environmental awareness and act civil! Take away the garbage you generate."
"The Paper" pointed out that according to several faculty and staff at Wuhan University, it rained on the day of the ceremony, so many teachers and students wore disposable raincoats. After the ceremony, indeed some raincoats were discarded at the scene. The photos captured by netizens reflect the situation at that time. However, the littered trash was quickly cleaned up.
The netizen who posted this information goes by the username "Luojia Mountain Lili." Since Wuhan University is located on Luojia Mountain, it’s speculated that this netizen may be a student, alumnus, or a local resident. However, photos and related information about the litter at Wuhan University's graduation ceremony are now nearly impossible to find on mainland Chinese websites.
The prominent account "Teacher Li is Not Your Teacher" on social platform "X" also shared a post last November from a mainland netizen, stating that at the Zhuhai Airshow in Guangdong, there was likewise litter everywhere next to the "Yun-20," a military transport plane hailed as a "national treasure." The netizen who filmed the video remarked, "In recent years, our national strength has continued to grow, but where is the quality of our citizens?"
