Post office recycles ALL university letters Since last October, students and teachers at South China University of Technology in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, were bothered by a continuing mystery - their letters constantly disappeared. A teacher surnamed Zhang was determined to find out why. Zhang noticed that staff from the post office sent five to six bags of letters to a nearby recycling station every week, receiving 0.35 yuan (4.2 US cents) per kilogram. Zhang used to think they were abandoned letters. The teacher checked and made a startling discovery. The mail was the university's current incoming and outgoing correspondence. Furious about the discovery, Zhang telephoned the police. Officers arrived and investigated and found a case of postal malfeasance. Three post office staff members who were involved were punished for infringing on freedom of communication, the Legal Daily reports. |
