The story of Deng Yujiao, a waitress who resisted the sexual advances of local officials in Badong, Hubei province, and killed one of them, has not ended with her acquittal by a court. On the contrary, the public attention she got during the case has prompted some people to offer her weird jobs. It would be better if the people shifted their focus and let Deng be herself, says an article in the China Youth Daily. Excerpt:

Many new windows seemed to have opened for Deng Yujiao, like being offered an undergraduate seat in the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Botany by Prof Fu Dezhi.

She has also been offered an editor's job with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan by a website and even a chance to act in a legendary movie. Then there are some manufacturers who want Deng to promote their products.
