April 3rd, China Time
A recently surfaced video of a boy articulating his future aspirations has ignited a significant online debate.
In the video, the boy confidently declares, “When I grow up, I aspire to be the president of the Agricultural Development Bank of China, just like my father.
Given that my grandfather served as the president of the Agricultural Development Bank of China and my mother holds the position of vice president, I aim to continue our family’s prestigious legacy.”
Official records indicate that Zhan Dongsheng currently serves as the President of the Agricultural Development Bank of China, having taken on the role of Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President since May 2021.
Furthermore, screenshots from a purported WeChat group conversation suggest that certain organizations are conducting inquiries to validate the boy’s claims.
Financial industry insiders have shared that the Agricultural Development Bank’s headquarters has unequivocally denied the existence of such a scenario. They are presently conducting urgent investigations across all branches, including those at the county level.
