A video showing a female student discarding a cup noodle on the street has sparked public outrage.
Recently, a local business owner shared the video on social media, asking, "Can everyone take a look at this? What kind of upbringing does this child have? I can see the parents in her actions," and urged adults to be role models in front of children.
The footage shows the student walking down the street while eating cup noodles. She stops in front of a store, drinks the remaining broth, and without hesitation, throws the cup onto the ground before walking away. The video shocked viewers as it depicted her acting without looking around or searching for a trash can.
The video quickly spread across various online communities and social media, garnering tens of thousands of views. Some users expressed disbelief, commenting, "Is this real? It looks so staged," and "I can't believe she threw it away so casually."
Others reacted with dismay, saying, "I'm shocked by what I just saw," and "Is this what we call eating and littering at the same time?" Comments included, "I've never seen anything like this in my life," and "She didn't even try to hide it; it's like she has no conscience at all. Shouldn't she at least pretend to look for a trash can?"
While many criticized the student's actions, some voices emphasized the need for better public order and civic education. One user noted, "I'm more worried that she seems unaware that her behavior is wrong."
Under current laws, littering on the street can result in fines. While specific regulations vary by local government, discarding items like cigarette butts, drink cups, and food containers can lead to penalties.
