Photos recently went viral online of employees of a hot pot restaurant kowtowing to their boss in a public square in Shenyang.
Netizens mocked the photos online saying the employees were worshipping their bosses. The boss of the restaurant responded saying that the company has a corporate culture of giving thanks, and the staff was thanking their “mother and father” for “raising them.” This, the boss said, is a form of filial piety, not worship.
The Netizen who posted the photo poked fun at the workers, and wrote that they were saying, “thank you for always giving me work!”
The four pictures posted show men and women in uniforms kneeling in a row in front of a standing individual.

says something about how hard it is to get a decent job in China.... :( they feel the humiliation, they are in just such a desperate place that they feel no choice but to succumb to this inhumane treatment. If I were any boss around there, I'd watch my back. Someday one of these slaves is going to snap. Justifiably so imo.

Wow, that owner really thinks he's a little emperor. I wonder what he'd do if he ever got some actual, real power...

Well, Bloomberg partially answered that. Below is part of the article --- for those without a VPN (Bloomberg was barred from PRC after they published this article on Xi, Qiaoqiao (Xi's older sister), Wen Jia Bo, and others...goes all the way back to the days of Mao). Many use fake names (they are the ones who issue id cards and passports!) making it more difficult to trace. Bear in mind, these are the only traceable assets Bloomberg managed to unearth, NOT EVERYTHING. "While the investments are obscured from public view by multiple holding companies, government restrictions on access to company documents and in some cases online censorship, they are identified in thousands of pages of regulatory filings. The trail also leads to a hillside villa overlooking the South China Sea in Hong Kong, with an estimated value of $31.5 million. The doorbell ringer dangles from its wires, and neighbors say the house has been empty for years. The family owns at least six other Hong Kong properties with a combined estimated value of $24.1 million......Most of the extended Xi family’s assets traced by Bloomberg were owned by Xi’s older sister, Qi Qiaoqiao, 63; her husband Deng Jiagui, 61; and Qi’s daughter Zhang Yannan, 33, according to public records compiled by Bloomberg. Deng held an indirect 18 percent stake as recently as June 8 in Jiangxi Rare Earth & Rare Metals Tungsten Group Corp. Prices of the minerals used in wind turbines and U.S. smart bombs have surged as China tightened supply. Yuanwei Group Qi and Deng’s share of the assets of Shenzhen Yuanwei Investment Co., a real-estate and diversified holding company, totaled 1.83 billion yuan ($288 million), a December 2011 filing shows. Other companies in the Yuanwei group wholly owned by the couple have combined assets of at least 539.3 million yuan ($84.8 million). A 3.17 million-yuan investment by Zhang in Beijing-based Hiconics Drive Technology Co. has increased 40-fold since 2009 to 128.4 million yuan ($20.2 million) as of yesterday’s close in Shenzhen. Deng, reached on his mobile phone, said he was retired. When asked about his wife, Zhang and their businesses across the country, he said: “It’s not convenient for me to talk to you about this too much.......Disgruntlement over how members of the ruling elite translate political power into personal fortunes has existed since Deng Xiaoping’s economic reforms began three decades ago, when he said some people could get rich first and help others get wealthy later. The relatives of other top officials have forged business careers. Premier Wen Jiabao’s son co-founded a private-equity company. The son of Wen’s predecessor, Zhu Rongji, heads a Chinese investment bank. ....... After Mao’s death in 1976, the family was rehabilitated and Xi’s sister Qiaoqiao pursued a career with the military and as a director with the People’s Armed Police. She resigned to care for her father, who had retired in 1990, Qiaoqiao said in the Tsinghua interview. A year later, she bought an apartment in what was then the British colony of Hong Kong for HK$3 million ($387,000) -- at the time, equivalent to almost 900 times the average Chinese worker’s annual salary. She still owns the property, in the Pacific Palisades complex in Braemar Hill on Hong Kong island, land registry records show.[Wanna guess how much that property is worth, now?]” www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-06-29/xi-jinping-millionaire-relations-reveal-fortunes-of-elite
