Photo: A Countryside New Year Couplet

The following photo is being quietly spread through Chinese blogs and BBS, such as this one. The photo was taken in a small town during the Chinese New Year 2009, where a huge new years couplet hanging over the road read:

Eyes of the people like the gaze of a god can penetrate bones
Hearts of the people like the scales of justice can measure the world
Wish all uncorrupted officials a peaceful life!

众眼金睛透筋骨
民心如秤秤天地
祝天下未贪之官一生平安!
