Delegate Song Zuying attacked by throat lock?

A photo picturing that the popular folk song singer Song Zuying (宋祖英) was “attacked” by throat lock has gone viral on the web.

It showed that a hand grabbed Song Zuying by the throat when a group of reporters gathered around her, and she appeared expressionless.But if we look carefully, that was her own hand.The yearly “two meetings” of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) opened on March 5 this year. The political delegates across the country flocked to Beijing to attend, sparking intensive discussions online.Some netizens focused their eyes on the waitresses in the meetings, while some others showed interest in the attendees’ fashionable attire and luxury accessories, but nonsense proposals.Some talked about former CCTV host Ni Ping (倪萍) patting Mao Xinyu (毛新宇, a Chinese historian and military officer, and grandson of late Chairman Mao Zedong) on his shoulder, while others gossiped about folk singer Song Zuying looking as if she was grabbed by the throat.

The annual session’s waitresses made tea to the delegates in the Great Hall of the People.

Ni Ping and Mao Xinyu had a pleasant conversation in the elevator.
