The news that Guangzhou Mayor and Vice Mayor visited the reopened ancient temple and worshiped the Idol has been widely circulated online and stirred a heated debate over whether the Communist leaders, who are supposed to be atheists, worship the Idol.

After one year’s renovation, the ancient Chenghuang Temple, or Town's God Temple, in Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong province was open Oct 30 to the public, for free. The Mayor Wan Qingliang and Vice Mayor Su Zequn attended the opening ceremony on the day, and afterwards, they had a look around the temple.

The Chenghuang temple, built in 1370, was a landmark in Guangzhou in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. The renovation cost nearly 20 million yuan ($3 million).

When the team of local officials came to the statue of Hai Rui (1514 -1587), a famous Chinese official of the Ming Dynasty, and whose name has come down in history as a model of honesty and integrity in office. Mayor Wan said, “Officials are supposed to worship the figure, begging him for the blessing of clean government.” Vice Mayor Su Zequn, walking on the heels of the Mayor, immediately bowed to the Statue and murmured, “please help the city’s construction sector to stay far away from corruption,” as the Vice Mayor is in charge of construction sector.


Mayors’ worship of the clean official in history is at the time a media hype. But some also argue that the Guangzhou mayors at least have the conscience of being clean and what they have said and done just reflect their weakness in face of the harsh reality in which corruption and graft in officialdom is almost an epidemic eroding the governments at varying levels and poisoning the social mood as a whole. Thereby, what they worshiped is not an idol, but the spirit the idol represents.
