In recent weeks, a new trend called "A4 waist challenge" has swept the Chinese social media, where women were holding a piece of A4 paper vertically to cover their waists, in a way to show off their trim waistlines. Here, a group of traffic police officers in Zigong city, Sichuan province followed the trend: posing behind water buckets with road safety slogans stuck on, to encourage people to obey the traffic rules, Sina.com.cn reported on Friday.
