Losers were made to wear "green hats"
Yesterday, at the inaugural Hiking and Spring Outing Festival in the Western Yu Grand Canyon, one of the event’s activities — the "Egg-Pulling Contest" — stirred controversy among many visitors.
The rules of the game are as follows: several green-painted eggs tied with strings are placed inside a transparent wide-mouth jar, with the other ends of the strings held by multiple participants. While cracking jokes, the host randomly shouts "Pull!" and all participants start tugging the eggs outward. The last person to pull out an egg is deemed the loser and must wear a "green hat" as punishment. Moreover, the "green hat" is painted with a turtle.
Some visitors found the game novel and entertaining, but more expressed disgust, believing the activity to be in poor taste, insulting to dignity, and that attracting attention should not be done in such a way. Relevant authorities should put a stop to it. (Reporter Zhao Sanjun)
