The same Kuso vibe can also be found in the recent news of city cleaners. A recent photo of street cleaners went viral on social media. In the picture senior couples are holding a cardboard sign that said: "To the young people: if you could play less fireworks, we will be able to go home earlier this year. Thank you for your understanding."
Some Chinese web users spoofed this by ironically advocating that "if you watched less news, the reporters would be able to go home during the festival; if you ate at home, the staff in the restaurants could have days off; if you didn't take buses, the drivers would not have to work." A picture of a senior citizen selling fireworks then was posted on Weibo, saying "if no one buys fireworks, what should I do?"
"Every job has its give and take. If you choose the job, you should deal with the inevitable problems that come with it," Woxingwosubeijing said on Weibo.
