THE GOVERNMENT of Jingjiang, East China's Jiangsu province, has reportedly rewarded a man 300,000 yuan ($45,000) for his tip-off about soil pollution over two years ago. Beijing News commented on Sunday:
The 300,000 yuan bonus came as a surprise to the man, who had already received 3 million yuan in compensation from the Jingjiang government as compensation.
In 2015, the man discovered his skin disease was due to dangerous industrial waste buried beneath his pig farm.
