Even some police officers are posting pictures of them holding an A4 paper, and no, they’re not actually doing the recent craze to hit the country.
Yibin’s police force found a better thing to do with the most famous paper right in the country: write down safety measure tips and reminders on it, have a picture of them holding it and post it for the public to see, according to Women of China.
Yes, it’s not a blank piece of paper they’re holding to emphasize a certain body part; rather, they write something on it to promote public safety.
The participating police post their respective message via the official Weibo account of the Yibin police department.
One male police officer wrote and posted: “When you are in danger, please call the emergency number 110.”
Injecting slight humor, he followed it with: “We with our wide waists will always be the people you can trust.”
A slender female cop sends the following message: “When driving, check if your windows and doors are locked, and don't keep valuables in your cars.”
Some celebrities did a similar thing, reported People’s Daily Online.
Guo Jingfei warned not to take calls from numbers not in someone’s contact list.
Qi Wei reminded not to trust anyone, even parents, when it comes to verification codes.
Yuan Shanshan echoed a similar reminder: keep PIN codes and bank account number to one’s self only.
Zhang Li expressed concern over phishing websites.
If the 6-foot-tall American teenager model Molly Bair happened to be Chinese--or in China--and got hold of an A4 paper and her phone, considering her frame, she might get tempted to do the challenge.
Daily Mail said that Bair, who already walked the runway for fashion bigwigs such as Chanel, Prada and Alexander Wang, “reignites row over ‘anorexia chic.’”
In 2015, France “voted to criminalize” the hiring of models whose Body Mass Index is less than 18, according to Daily Mail.
The World Health Organization classifies a person with a BMI of less than 18.50 as underweight.
Someone with a BMI of 17.00-18.49 would be mildly thin; those with less than 16.00, severely thin.
WHO apparently doesn’t use A4--or any paper, for that matter--to determine those classifications.
