Two top officials of a county have been engulfed in criticism online after they agreed to play cameo roles in a TV play, Chongqing Evening News reported.
Both the county government and Party chiefs in Zhongxian county of Chongqing municipality will play characters in the 24-episode series which tells the story about life in the county.
"As far as I am concerned, a county chief has more things to do than acting. I think he is totally fooling around," said an unnamed netizen.
To which the county chief Liu Guizhong responded: "What I do is to better promote my county and the well-off of my people. I will do anything to serve that purpose and will not retreat from the series."
Famous actress Tao Hong, born in Zhongxian, will also star in the series. The date filming of the play starts is not known yet.
