Upon posting about the incident on Weibo, netizens had mixed reactions. A few comments expressed confusion about the purpose of posting such content, with one user saying "If you don't have anything to post on Weibo, just don't post." Another individual remarked, "Posting like this every day is really boring..."
However, others showed a more critical tone towards the story. Several netizens questioned the authenticity of the video, suggesting that it was staged. A user mused, "Does not understand the meaning of this 'rs.' Want to praise the dedication of the security or reveal the phenomenon that many people show small in life?"
On a similar note, some users found humor in the situation due to the woman's youthful appearance. One joked, "How bad is your acting? Can a director still allow it?" A different user even compared her to the character from a famous Chinese TV series, saying, "It has nothing to do with me, right? The security guards are quite responsible."
As for the security's actions, most netizens applauded their diligence. One commented, "The security guards are indeed responsible and dedicated," while another agreed, "Why can this be hot? This security is quite responsible."
The issue at hand revolves around the challenge of determining one's age by appearance alone, particularly in situations where someone may look younger than their actual age. A netizen pointed out, "You need to check if someone looks younger than their age, or else they might get caught and what would happen then? After all, security's responsibility is for this."
Despite the humorous reactions, many users showed understanding towards the situation. One person empathized, "He looks quite young, so it's normal that he was stopped. The security guard is just doing their job," while another shared a similar sentiment, "strange and odd things, looking young and seeing sfz doesn't matter anymore. At such a high position... I completely don't understand the meaning? Is there nothing to post? Posting these."
The incident brought up the issue of age verification in China, especially in situations where appearance can be deceiving. It also raised questions about privacy and personal identification, sparking discussions on Weibo about how best to manage such scenarios in the future.
