Now going viral on Sina Weibo — a post by a Beijing-based businessman, Shi Xingfeng. He writes:

Just two months after the trial operation of a Class II highway in Yunnan’s Lüchun county, something unprecedented in this country has happened. On the morning of July 2, a van flew down the cliff from this highway, at approximately over 1km above ground. When it happened, I was wondering why the van suddenly disappeared. Turns out that the highway led it off the cliff. The government actually had the guts to put this wonderful highway into trial. This is a classic case of a tofu-dreg project.

云南省绿春县刚修好的二级公路试通车不到2个月路就发生了全国没有发生过的事情，就在2012年7月2日的早上发生了一张面包车从这条路飞了下去，深度大约1000多米，当时我还以为面包车突然不见了，原来是整条路飞下崖了这样牛的路政府也敢试通车，正宗的豆腐渣工程。

Neither the collapse of the highway nor the disappearance of the said van appears to have been independently verified by the media, but the pictures speak for themselves.

At press time, the post attracted 12,000 shares and 1,800 comments on Sina Weibo.
